So I've scraped together $60 and want a new PS3 game, however, I don't know which to choose. My choices are as follows (in no specific order):

Resistance 2
Motorstorm Pacific Rift
Metal Gear Solid 4
Soul Caliber 4

If I get R2, I'll have to get R1 so I'm not left out so I'm a little hesitant there. But I fear if I get Motorstorm 2 the only time I'll play it is when others are over (The original campaign was more challenging than enjoyable). I want to get MGS4 for it's beautiful looks however I have not played any other MGS game so I'm pretty sure I'll be completely lost (I'd probably be distracted by the beauty of the game anyways). And then I would like to try SC4  because I don't really have any multiplayer fighting games, aside from Def Jam Icon which is utter crap after the first 5 minutes.

Let the suggestions begin!

(I already own LBP)

I personally think MGS4 is the best of those. Resistance 2 is a close second.

MGS4's story can and will get confusing, the database eases that a little. And the gameplay is top notch.

Resistance has never really been story based. You get pretty much all the backstory you need from the Shattered History trailer and the Wikipedia article. Also, the first Resistance, while good for a launch game, isn't excellent.

Soulcalibur IV isn't great. Really, it isn't. The Character Creation is the best part, there are guides that help you make famous characters (I made Altair, Hulk, Link and several others). It's best enjoyed with a friend over. Although the single player isn't awful, it isn't excellent either and other than Tower of Lost Souls it's repetitive (Arcade)/text heavy (Story). It gets really frustrating at points. The online is buggy, laggy and unplayable. Only get it if you really like fighting games and can't wait until Tekken 6 (But get Tekken 6 as well)

MotorStorm Pacific Rift is good, but nowhere near as good as MGS4, R2 or even SC4. The handling is awful. Please note I am basing this on a demo because that's the only experience I have with the game.

Oh and also Valkyria Chronicles. That's really good. Again based on a demo. But still.
