Resistance/Uncharted/Killzone - I am trying to avoid generic FPS games.  Is there anything special about these games that makes them unique.  Besides the point I am more inclined to play FPS games on the PC.

Metal Gear Solid - What is there that wasn't in the previous metal gear games?  I'm not really concerned with story.

Heavenly Sword - Isn't that a generic (and bad) hack and slash game with a big rack on the box art to generate sales

Little Big Planet - Isn't this game heavily user content generated?

Those games are very well made. You wont experience games like those anywhere else, and to me they not generic, they are excellent.

 

You could also try Genji: Days of the Blade

@Squillium: As ruimartiniman noticed, I already have bioshock and assassin's creed, which are both great games.  What he didn't notice was that I own Oblivion also, and hate it.  I like Bethesda, don't get me wrong.  They just made some really bad decisions on Oblivion.  If I decide not to get Colonization on computer, I will probably get it on PS3.  That being said, I'll probably get it for the PC.  Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your effort.  You just failed at this one

@ruimartiniman:  Thank you.  Because of your recommendation I realized I didn't have Rachet & Clank: Up your arsenal in my game list.  Game list +1; Now if I could only find time to play it.

 

Disgaea 3 - I heard a lot of good recommendations about this game, I think I'll get it.

Resistance/Uncharted/Killzone - I am trying to avoid generic FPS games.  Is there anything special about these games that makes them unique.  Besides the point I am more inclined to play FPS games on the PC.

Prince Of Persia - best in the series?  I've heard otherwise.  I heard the open level progression breaks the difficulty curve.

Mirrors Edge - Heard it was innovative, just put together very badly

Metal Gear Solid - What is there that wasn't in the previous metal gear games?  I'm not really concerned with story.

Heavenly Sword - Isn't that a generic (and bad) hack and slash game with a big rack on the box art to generate sales

Tom Raider: Und - Isn't that a generic (and bad) shooter game with a big rack on the box art to generate sales.

Little Big Planet - Isn't this game heavily user content generated?

 

I remain open minded despite my preconceptions about these games.  I wouldn't want to ask for people's opinions and then throw it in their faces when I think they are bad.  Feel free to defend your position.

Uncharted is a third person shooter, actually, with platform elements and a decent cover system. It's not a generic FPS by any means, but if we're talking generic TPS, aside from the platforming yeah it doesn't do a great deal more. For what it's worth though, I say Uncharted is the best PS3 game yet, just for the sheer amount of fun. Crushing mode is a blast.

 

*EDIT* Oh and for MGS4... It's actually more different than previous games than you'd think. There are a shit load more weapons, and you can play it like a TPS if that's what you're into. However, I think it's still the most fun if you play with stealth, like traditional MGS's, so I guess if you didnt like the old MGS's you wont get the most out of MGS4, though it still might be fun.




PSN: chenguo4
Current playing: No More Heroes

Its not out yet but when Tales of Vesperia comes out for the PS3, get it.



NINTENDO

nintendo forever . . .

Uncharted- Action Adventure

BioShock- innovative FPS

Oblivion- WRPG (especially if you liked Fallout 3)

LittleBigPlanet- generally awesome

Civilization Revolution is a good turn-based Strategy game.

Uncharted is a TPS, it's not generic at all. You can miss Resistance, but Killzone 2 is a great experience.

Prince Of Persia - best in the series?  I've heard otherwise.  I heard the open level progression breaks the difficulty curve.

It's fun, but repetitive, and too easy at times.

Mirrors Edge - Heard it was innovative, just put together very badly

There are far better games out there. It is innovative though.

Metal Gear Solid - What is there that wasn't in the previous metal gear games?  I'm not really concerned with story.

If you don't want a game with story, and if you aren't willing to watch cutscenes, skip it.

Heavenly Sword - Isn't that a generic (and bad) hack and slash game with a big rack on the box art to generate sales

Blech. Wait for God of War III and if you must get a hack and slash, DMC4 is better.

Tom Raider: Und - Isn't that a generic (and bad) shooter game with a big rack on the box art to generate sales.

OH HELL NO. If you want a far superior game like that, get Uncharted.

Little Big Planet - Isn't this game heavily user content generated?

It has 37 developer-made levels in a LOOOOONG campaign spanning many different areas, and there are trophies for aceing each level (completing without dying) and for collecting all prizr bubbles. Even if you ignore the user-generated content, there's plenty to do. Don't ignore the user generated content, it's the best part of the game. Don't worry, there are over a million levels, and you can find a level for pretty much everything. If you don't find one for something, make it! It's relatively simple.

There you go. Replies in bold.

EDIT: I will also add that Heavenly Sword isn't bad, just short and uninspired.

- I noticed Oblivision, i also got the game on PC ( gotta update my pc collection on profile ), but didn´t mention it because i don´t like. It was a major dissapointment for me.

- FPS - all fps are better played in PC. Resistance 2 is very good, it´s not a classic, but you won´t be disappointed. Futuristic looks, good story, original guns and enemies. 60% rail and run, 40% "strategy".

- prince of persia- it´s true it´s easier than the previous, specially the bosses, but has it all,: graphics, gameplay, good story and some puzzles. Oh, and has not camera problems like it used to have.

- mirror´s edge - i really enjoyed playing this game, it´s on first person, sometimes you gotta stop to explore and discover the way to jump, sometimes you gotta be fast and avoid enemies, there are different paths to get a location, it´s like GTA on top of buildings. Too bad it´s a short game.

- metal gear solid - news from previous games : the camera is now free, there´s a robot you can use to help you, snake has a strees bar and it´s larger than the other 3.

- heavenly sword - didn´t like it at all. It´s hack and slash mainly in small spaces. It´s very basic and banal. Avoid it. Don´t expect a new god of war.

- tom raider und. - best tomb raider since TR2. There are some enemies, but it´s not a shooter at all. If you enjoyed TR 1 and 2 and think that the series have been loosing quality since TR2, you´ll like this one. I´m a TR fan, when start playing was thinking " well, this is another TR that i´m not going to enjoy like in the old days, but i´m going to give it a try anyway"... but then discover a very good and very solid game and couldn´t stop playing it until i beat it.

- LBP - It´s a risk... LOVE IT or HATE IT. Looks a childish game, but it´s excellent, the offline is good and there are tens of new online levels everyday. Main problem is 80% of these online levels are very poor. It´s a little bit overrated.

 

 

 



Everyone is talking about the disappointment Oblivion was. You guys have it on the PC did you ever use mods? That made it a major success for me. All the mods people made were great.



Also take a look on youtube to have a clear idea of that games you have doubts about.



killzone 2, burnout paradise are must buy for play in the network, and then DEAD SPACE, MGS4, INFAMOUS, COD4 also very good, PSN TITLE: SUPER STARDUST HD, THE LAST GUY are funny



well some here like heavenly sword other didn't I enjoyed it myself wasn't looking for it to be another god of war it was different and I liked it maybe some felt it was same ol same ol but I guess I wasn't one to have played those games big thing for me was turning off the aftertouch the 6axis didn't work well for me in that game.
