    Any genre you like in particular? I was actually thinking of writing up a list of good PS3 games so I can check back with you later.

    Well, lets go through the obvious: Uncharted 2 (Don't need to play the first to enjoy it, though you can get the first for fairly cheap these days), Metal Gear Solid 4 (Polar opposite of Uncharted 2 in what you need to enjoy it) and Burnout Paradise to start you off.

    God of War collection is really good; granted - it's 2 PS2 games - but still great. 
     
    I second KZ2.

    @KrazyKanuck488: Killzone 2 is the better from those two. Resistance is fun, but after a while it gets mind-numbing.

    @KrazyKanuck488: Retail: Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Metal Gear Solid 4, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2, inFamous, R&C: A Crack In Time and God Of War Collection-- would all be games I'd buy off the bat for my PS3.
     
    PS Store: Wipeout HD, PixelJunk Shooter/Monsters, Shatter, Siren: Blood Curse, Trash Panic, Gravity Crash and Echoes (it's in the Minis section).
     
    Plus there's TONS more. Shop around. Look at prices, reviews and stuff. There's a ton of PS3 stuff you should visit, past or present.

    @KrazyKanuck488:   I like Resistance 2 more than Killzone 2.  I couldn't get used to the controls and for some reason the game literally made me sick.

    I just got a PS3 for the exclusives and picked up these (I'm somewhat more single player focused and i prefer my FPS games on my PC [though Cover-Based Shooters {CBS} are okay on the console]):
    Little Big Planet 
    Uncharted 2
    Demon's Souls  
    inFAMOUS
    God of War Collection
    Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
     
    (and some cheaper games!):
    Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
    Uncharted
    Metal Gear Solid 4
     
    The online on Uncharted 2 is excellent.

    Yeah definitely. But don't go into it expecting CoD. If you want to play Call Of Duty, you're actually better with Resistance. Because Killzone 2 has a very unique feel and setup, that's all its own.
     
    If you can't adapt, you'll hate it.

    I'm in the same boat, OP, but I just got inFamous, Killzone 2 (both came with the console), Uncharted 2, and, 15 minutes ago, Demon's Souls.  I'll be checking out Little Big Planet and Metal Gear Solid 4 shortly.  I also picked up Flower and Pixel Junk Shooter off of PSN.

    Yeah. A lot of people including myself agree Resistance 2 was a let down. It's still a good game, but Killzone 2 is a more enjoyable title.

    I also recommend Flower, Pixeljunk: Shooter, and Noby Noby Boy. All great downloadable games.

    @KrazyKanuck488: Yeah the controllers are a hit or miss with some people. Really depends on how big your hands are really. If it's a real problem though I know you can buy extensions for the triggers. It's just a small bit of plastic that makes it easier to use the R2 and L2 buttons. Also when you get the HDMI cable make sure to configure it in the video options.

    This, plus any of the others mentioned above.  I didn't like Resistance 2 much, but that's partially because I enjoyed the first one a lot.  It was different, but sequel changed some stuff and it felt more like a hollow Halo clone.  I'd go with Killzone 2 over that any day.  
     
    I always mention Everyday Shooter in these types of threads because it is still among my most favored games for the system.  It's a twin-stick shooter but with a style and soundness all its own.

    And then anything you want. 
     
    I didn't like Resistance 2 at all, actually I consider it one of the worst game I played this generation, also if you want to buy something on PSN I would recommend Warhawk.

    Killzone 2. 
     
     
     
    And also, don't listen to the second post. I never played a MGS game in my life other than 4, and I loved! Tied as the best game I have ever played in my life, that and LittleBigPlanet. 
     
     
    You should seriously get those two game.
