Resistance 2 may look like Halo, but the experience is quite different and fresh in my opinion. I'm a bit addicted to it at the moment.

LBP is actually very fun online. You can play co-op with a friend offline, then switch to online anytime you want bringing a friend (or two) with you. Very hassle-free and smooth.

Pixeljunk Monsters is a great PSN game. It a tower defence strategy game (with co-op) that's easily given me over 100 hours of entertainment so far.

Uncharted obviously gets the vote as a great offline single-player shooting/adventure experience.

What makes Resistence 2 really different? Because it looks kind of generic, but to me so does Halo 2 and 3(Which I hated with a passion. Loved Halo CE though). Is there another game you can compare it to for online play?

LBP is a top priority for me, along with Ninja Gaiden Sigma :)

I'll look into Pixeljunk, haven't seen or heard much about it.

I played the first part of the Uncharted demo at one of the booths, didn't like it a whole lot. But if its pretty cheap I'll pick it up. 

 

Well the co-op mode in Resistance 2. You jump into a game with up to 8 players, then set about completing different objectives to complete the level.

This might get boring over time, but the fact is the game scales according to how well the co-op team is doing.

For example, If your team is doing poorly, it will set you up against an easy boss fight as the final encounter for the round, if you're doing very well, you can expect to face a much bigger and tougher boss. It also changes your objectives on the fly. So one play-through you might be directed towards the right side of the map to fight waves of chimera, the next time a section opens up on the left and you're doing something different.

It really adds a lot of replay value to the mode.

Then there's the three different classes, which play like no other classes in any other FPS I've encountered. (Medic is extremely fun to play.)

That's just the co-op, then you have 60-player multiplayer deathmatches on the side. Alternating between the two can lead to very late night gaming sessions as you fast become addicted.

The single-player isn't half bad either.

 

Uncharted is a game that gets steadily better the further you play through it. When I downloaded the demo from PSN I didn't really like it. After playing it for a bit longer though at a friends house, I decided to buy it.

It's a great experience and by the end you can actual feel yourself becoming a little attached to the main characters (which I think is quite rare in games). I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel.
