    Default PS3 Game Recommendations

    I picked up a refurbished 80GB PS3 from Gamestop over the weekend and I'm looking for some game recommendations.

    So far I have Restistance: Fall of Man and Need for Speed Pro Street while Grand Theft Auto IV is on pre-order.

    What else is there that's worth picking up? When posting a title, please provide some information as to why you like it. Thanks!

    $400 for the 80GB system itself and a controller. Then I got another controller (this one vibrates ), a memory card adaptor (for PS & PS2 titles), two 10ft USB cables, and then the games.

    COD4 was very tempting, but I went with Resistance for my first title since they had a used copy. I'd jump on COD4, but I'd rather not get another shooter when I haven't finished the one I just got.

    Do not waste your money on vegas. Mine will be going back to the store when I go to pre-order GTAIV this week.

    BTW not to thread jack but when you pre-order a game do you have to pay the full amount up front or can you pay the rest when you pick it up?

    7-Days since I didn't get the extended warranty.

    $5 down, and that goes towards the cost of the game. If you change your mind, it is refundable.

    Ninja Gaiden Sigma - awesome game, great fighting game, many good weapons.
    The Orange Box (5 games in one: Half Life 2, HL2: Episode 1, HL2: Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2) - can't beat the price for 5 games, and all of them are very good games. Portal is great, Team Fortress 2 online is extremely fun, fun, fun.
    Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - good graphic, great story.
    Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - awesome graphic, fun game.
    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - awesome shooting game, great online play.
    Heavenly Sword - short but beautiful graphic, similar to God of War.
    Devil May Cry 4 - great game play, pretty graphic.
    Turok - good game.

    I played and own all of those above, all are very good games in my opinion.

    I really considered this title along side Assasin's Creed, but since I still remember the difficulty nightmare that was Ninja Gaiden Black, I was hesistant.

    Also, when making recommendations, don't bother bringing up the multiplayer aspect. My computer is being gay and won't let me connect my wireless router just yet.

Other titles such as Forza 2 and the NFS series have definitely swept the car game market away from Gran Turismo, who's only saving grace so far is eye candy. It would be nice to have GT5 best my expectations though.

    Anybody heard anything on Turok? Previews look good and I loved the original one on N64.

    The concensus is Turok sucks, another failed FPS

    I havent played it, but most people ive talked to said it sucks.

    I don't know about others, but to me it is ok. I can't be worse than Dark Sector. DS is really bad!

    I'd love to, but my comp is being gay and won't let my PS3 connect. I actually just downloaded the latest software upgrade from the website onto my flashdrive so I can update my PS3 when I get home. As of right now, my backwards compatibility is hit and miss with my PS2 titles.

    Oh before I forget!

    Technical Question
    If I leave my controllers plugged into the USB connection, will it drain the battery life on the controllers? I know that doing so with a cell phone or iPod will shorten their charge. Help?

    Okay, so last night I updated the firmware on my PS2. Now all my PS2 games are compatible again! Yay!

    Is it just me, or do my PS2 games look A LOT better now?

    You mean you updated the firmware of the pS3 right? They had a firmware 2.3 release yesterday, but mostly it is for the new PS3 store and the addition of DTS HD-MA decoding.... the upscaler, mosquito noise etc. was added with version 2.20, but if you did not do that update, then yes.. your games will prob. look better now... (the firmwares are cumulative).
    I got free clear tails with my ride.....

    I think my update was Ver.2.20. I didn't see a link for 2.30 on the PS website. I'll check back later.
