I love how the guy says he's played some uncharted and isn't fond of it and 20%, of the people tell him to play U1 and U2....
Just from experience, my GF liking simple controls too, try to avoid all shooters for now. (that's Killzone, Resistance, MSG, Uncharted...) Dual stick control is about as painfull as it gets for people liking simple controls...
You seem to have wanted a console for graphical prowess, so try a racing game... that's a sure thing for impressing you.
Other games you might like (and have good ratings, but are not PS3 exclusives like most games that have been mentioned up there) : Prince of Persia, Mirror's Edge, Lego series (Star wars, indiana jones, batman), they are all damn cheap too (at least where I shop). If you like rythm games... you can try Guitar Hero ^^ milions love it so it can't be too bad (only played demoes myself, it was fun even with a controller).
Sorry can't say more I don't have a PS3 (hence the non exclusive games I suggested).
