So, I'm getting a PS3 bundle with KZ2, and I can't decide which second game to get. I could have thrown a coin, but that would have been to simple. Quick, GB! You're my only hope!

I think metal gear is something you need to play, LBP you can watch from youtube. I liked both a whole lot though.

MGS, as the dude with the creative name above me said, you can watch alot of LBP and get an idea for it, although the create a level is pretty cool, but be warned you have to be prepared for cut scene after cut scene in MGS, however I feel that's more of a game than LBP, LBP was fun but still, and I got bored of it after a while.

since your wanting mgs4 im guessing you have played the other ones and know the story. if you havent then i think you should go for lbp because mgs is very story driven and if you dont know it then i dont think you will like it as much.

You should really, really get both. But go with Metal Gear first and then come back for Sackboy.

I'll just add to this that when you create a level on LPB it rarely gets played no matter how good it is. Someone will vote it down, it'll fall off the front page and it'll never be played again.

Just got back from the store! The PS3 is being updated right now. I managed to get both, since they were pretty cheap.

@NickM: Congrats on getting both. Excellent choices. May I also recommend flower and Wipeout HD from the store if you still have some change left in your bank account.

Like Kohe said though, you've just guaranteed yourself an amazing summer.

Good points above and all.  I do have both games, but the thing is are you a social gamer?  Meaning, do you have people coming over, and maybe just start some Rock Band or something?  Because maybe a fellow person who does games for a hobby can get into you playing MGS4, but the normal people out there will be able to actually partake in LBP.  And get a laugh out of it.

LBP is good, but, MGS is over the line.

Thanks for all replies guys, but you didn't have to give me advice. I know what both the games are about. I just needed to pick one randomly, so I decided to get the one that has the most support from my Giant Bomb homies :) 

Well, thanks anyway! Hopefully I'll make a blog post about the PS3 and all the stuff I bought during last week.

Honestly, you should get both.  I voted MGS4 - but in the end you'll be happy with both games.  They are so different, yet so fun.  You can't go wrong either way really.  And they've both been out long enough to where you might be able to get them both used.  Although I'm not sure how much you'd save by doing that. 

EDIT- and then I scrolled up and noticed you took my advice 8 hours before I gave it. Impressive. ;-)

Metal Gear Solid 4

It's a longer game with lots of free DLC via the in-game menu and it costs $30 while LBP costs $60.

What the fuck are you talking about?
We're talking about MGS4, not MGSO.

LittleBigPlanet is pretty good, but it isnt nearly as good as Metal Gear.

Both good. MGS4 is better, however.

There the same fucking game are they not? Just because MGO has it's own start screen doesn't mean anything. They're both on the disc. Plus, MGS4 has plenty of DLC too. Pointless DLC, sure, like music and camouflage, but it still has it.

I didn't like MGO, but that comes from a console online shooter hater.

Both are very nice, but I find it much much better to play MGS4.
