New PS3 owner looking for good games

I don't have a 360.  My PS3 is not backwards-compatible, but that doesn't matter, since I still have my PS2 hooked up.  My retro gaming at the moment primarily consists of Castlevania: SotN.

 I'm not a fan of retro gaming so take this however you want.  I own a 20G release PS3 with a 200G drive I put in myself.  Full BC:  I used it once.  I played a level and turned it off, never to put another PS2 game in the system.  I gave my PS2 and all it's games to a friend who had a bad one.  (Consequently, my PS2 was a release PS2 and never had a problem with it.  Gave it to him and a few weeks later, he had the disc read problem.  I must take good care of my stuff because I never have problems. :p )

I have also "skipped the hype" with all the other GTA games.  GTA 4 is my first, so I don't know what the others were like.  I'm having a blast with this game.  No problems, no "pop-in", few glitches, and pretty good story... at least so far.

I currently have:

RR7 (meh, when I was 13 I might have enjoyed it)
Blazing Angels (ok, not as bad as everyone makes it out)
Motorstorm (pretty fun, IMO)
Ninja Gaiden: Sigma (I probably would have skipped it had I played it... not a fan)
NFS: Carbon (I actually liked this game, swapping controllers with a friend, drinking, pizza, played it through twice)
Lair (I've been scared to play too much with all the negativity... played the first level, nice imagery.)
Warhawk (absolutley love this, and I hate console FPS games.  Like you; I'd rather have a mouse/keyboard)
Dark Kingdom (I like this type of game, so I enjoyed every minute going through it with all the different classes)
Stuntman: Ignition (Pretty fun for a few hours/days.  Get's repetitive and bland.  Should rent though)
Ratchet and Clank (Love it.  Period.)
Burnout Paradise (reaffirming that I will never buy another EA game until they bring Burnout back to it's roots)
GTA4 (currently playing it like it's stolen)

Flow (fun if you're bored, and I haven't been bored enough to play it much)
PixelJunk Monsters (fun if you have a friend to play with that likes this kind of tower defense game)
Have an eye toy, only have the one game where you drag stupid animals into doors.  I can't even remember the name it sucks so much.  Wish they'd hurry up with the Eye Toy games like Tank Wars

 Oh, and welcome to the club.
