    Hey guys, i'm about to pick up a PS3 after largely ignoring it this generation. I have pretty much all the greats from the last 7 years or so on my xbox and PC and i'm trying to put together a cohesive list of the best ps3 games so i can enjoy them before the generation is out.

    What are your reccomendations?

    Wipeout HD and journey are top of my list.

    Resistance trilogy was pretty good, as were the Ratchet and Clank games.

    And, if you want, I really enjoyed the Yakuza games this generation, but I was already a franchise fan last generation, I think they kind of need a background knowledge of the story of the first two games on PS2

    Well they are releasing a HD pack of Yakuza 1 & 2 in Japan on PS3, hopefully we get it here. For a new player Yakuza 2 is unimportant storywise; Yakuza 3 & 4 have excellent summaries of 1 in them.

    Wipeout HD and Journey is an excellent start. After those I'd play Heavy Rain or the Uncharted trilogy. Then Motorstorm: Pacific Rift.

    I know Brad didn't like it but you should pick up Dead Nation. Actually. it and a bunch of Halloween games I think are on sale now on PSN.

    Also I don't think anyone mentioned echochrome or Tokyo Jungle.

    This pretty much covers it outside of the Motorstorm games if you like racing games. Skip the first. The second two are great.

    By the way before you play MGS4, don't forget to play the other 4. MGS1, 2, 3 and Peacewalker. Also on PS3.

    I know most of them have been said here already, but I'll throw out my lists.

    Games you should look into, but I haven't played yet

    I would also say grab PS+, I have a ton a games from that service. Much more than I have time to play right now. A lot of full retail releases too.
