    PS3 Must Buys

    I didn't see a thread and searching the forums didn't turn up results so I decided to make a new thread.

    I am thinking about getting a few games but I'm unsure on what to buy. I can't afford to just buy everything so I need some opinions on 'must buys' and what I can hold off on or pass up altogether.

    Thinking:

    Demon's Souls (probably going to spend the 50 bucks and get this)
    Uncharted 1 and 2 (Can I play 2 without 1, is 2 significantly better and 1 mediocre?)
    Fat Princess (I remember watching a video and it looked really fun, thinking about it)
    Flower (again, saw a video, can't decide if it's worth the 10 bucks though)
    Going to borrow MGS4 from a friend

    If you have any recommendations I'd really appreciate it, mostly just want to get to using it and I've probably just missed a bunch of titles simply from buying the console so late into it's life cycle. Also, feel free to mention upcoming games you think warrant me saving for in advance.

    I couldn't stand uncharted 2 one bit. Demons souls and Valkyria Chronicals are my favorites.

    Atreides image works, also MGS4 is an excellent game, but expect about 20 hours of story and 5 hours of gameplay if you watch everything.

    Heresy.

    Uncharted 1 and 2 are both amazing games. You don't need to have played the first one to understand the second though there are the expected in-jokes and such. Number two is significantly more difficult than number one so might be worth picking up; it's just a great game in its own right anyway.

    Resistance2 definitely worth it if you like multiplayer FPSs. Both of the Ratchet and Clank full titles are very good, Assassin's Creed II is good, Borderlands is pretty cool if you're into more open-ended gameplay revolving around co-operative play.

    There are loads of games and I could continue but

    why is mirror's edge on one of those list?

    and I kinda laughed at the 1stpic, where it called Heavenly Sword a "worthwhile" game.
    It'sa great game, but it's maybe not even 10hours long. and hardly no replayability.

    Uncharted 1 is only like $20-30 dollars now, so I'd probably pick that up. then get 2 if you liked 1.
    Orange Box is also very cheap. It comes with half life 2: ep 1 and 2, team fortress 2, and Portal. Portal is a must play if you havnt played it on PC.
    Bioshock is probably really cheap as well currently, and still a great game.
    you could probably pickup all 3 of those games for $80-90

    DMC4 is great if youre a fan of devil may cry, otherwise I'd maybe just get Bayonetta or wait for Dante's Inferno.

    Assassin's Creed 1 is a decent game, and you can probably get it for$20-30 at a store, Assassin's Creed 2 however, is a far superior game in every way. If you don'thave the extra time/money, I'd just read up on the plot/story of 1 and buy 2

    I felt similar, perhaps someone could explain the allure of Uncharted 2 since it came off as a standard Hollywood action movie meshed with some awkward stealth/action controls. The graphics and environment were nicely done but other than that I didn't see why it was lauded as awesome.

    Demon's Souls was the reason I ended up grabbing a PS3 and I played the hell out of it.

    Mirror's Edge was actually a pretty good game, it was super short but overall good. You can scoop it up for 20 bucks now.

    As long as I can play it on the PS3 it counts, especially downloads.

    So far I am going to get Uncharted 1 (if I can't find someone to borrow it from, if I like it I'll get 2). Demon's Souls seems like a guaranteed purchase, most of the people who complain about it just say it's too hard or something but I think they're pussies. I will also wait for Bayonetta, and borrow MGS4 from a friend.

    Already played a bunch of the suggestions on the lists that weren't PS3 exclusives. I should have mentioned I have a 360 so half those games aren't worth buying on the PS3.

    I really dont get into the downlaodables too much, im one of those people who likes to have a disc and stuff, but the only one that I thought I might like was fat princess and I just didnt care for it. PSN classics, I own over 300 games on PSX I have no need to rebuy them, lol.

    I have 40 sitting in the living room next to the entertainment center, 10-15 in the closet that I am completely done with/no interest in playing at the moment. Including PSN and classics, probably easily over 100. Even more if you count rented games.

    OP, the following are all good exclusives I would recommend to get you started:
    Uncharted 1 & 2
    Demon's Souls
    Valkyria Chronicles
    Folklore
    Warhawk
    Killzone 2
    inFamous
    MGS4
    LittleBigPlanet

    PSN:
    WipeOut HD
    Pixeljunk series
    Shatter
    Super Stardust HD
    Trine
    Critter Crunch

    ^ are all PSN exclusives as far as I'm aware, I enjoyed Flower although it is more of a visual experience than a game play one but I would still recommend it.

    Also, lot of stuff exclusives coming out in 2010.
