Hey guys I am currently living in Japan with a Lightning edition PS3 (most beautiful thing either) and as you can imagine... It's hard to have games that I can understand being a foreigner and all. I can afford to buy 2 games from the import game shop and I am looking for games that I can invest a lot of time in. I already played played and beat Fallout 3, MGS 4, DMC 4, Batman AA, Burnout Paradise, Bioshock and Red Faction: Guerilla in Canada. I was thinking mayeb Demons Souls and Borderlands... Do you have any other suggestions? I like just about every kind of game besides turn based tactics games. I would really appreciate everyone's input! 
 
Also are there any Japanese only games you think I should get? The only games I seem to be able to play with no issue are fighting games and Bio Hazard 5 (Resident Evil... For some reason its in English lol).

Borderlands is a great idea if you are getting the DLC as well. I haven't played Demon's Souls, so idk. Super Street Fighter IV is coming out or something right?

Borderlands has the potential to last you months. I bought it during the first 2 weeks of its release and I'm still playing on it a fair amount to this day.

I have a list of PS3 exclusive games that look interesting to me (including at least one turn-based tactical game that you can ignore) but it's hard to answer these kinds of questions without knowing a bit more about your likes and dislikes.  Demon's Souls  (I never know where to put the apostrophe) is an acquired taste for many but it will keep you busy; that much I know from what I've read. The latest Yakuza might be good for a larf but that's down to your tolerance level for beat-em-ups and minigames.  As far as understanding what everyone is saying, not so sure, but if you're in Japan I'm assuming you're trying to learn the language.
 
How's Japan otherwise?  Learning things about Japan they don't teach you in school?

Yakuza 3. Seriously - that game is huge. And by huge I mean over 600 side-missions huge.

If you buy something with meta progression and online play  u can get stuck on it quite easily. What about Modern Warfare 2? People are playing this in Japan, I suppose. But u should learn Japanese dude and be super imba when competing for a job later!

If it's your thing, MW2, people will be playing that for years.

I've only played it on the PC, so I can't tell you if it's still worth your time on the PS3, but I know that Dragon Age: Origins can last a good long time.  Borderlands is a good 2nd choice, though.  I sunk 30-40 hours into just 1 character in that game and that's with no DLC.

fallout 3, borderlands, if multiplayer shooters are you thing, Modern warfare 2 and battlefield bad company 2 are excellent too.

I would say Elder Scrolls IV: Obilvion but playing Fallout 3 fills that role quite well.  Persona 4 might be a good choice granted you haven't watched the Endurance Run and your PS3 is backwards compatible. 

Borderlands is quite a good game and should last you quite a while.

You should definitely check out www.leagueoflegends.com. A reasonable amount of the content is free to play and everything else can be bought or unlocked. I'm addicted to this game since months. And You can't lose a thing if u try it, so give it a shot ;).
