    Uncharted series

    inFamous series

    Ratchet and Clank series

    Motostorm Apocalypse

    Resistance series (3 is the best imo)

    Heavy Rain

    im sure i'm forgetting a bunch, but any of those are great buys. Also, when you get online, be sure to pick up Journey.

    I say invest in PlayStation+ and get a few console features and try out all the games they just put up for "free" for $50, and anything else that they put up this year.

    Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time a really underrated PS3 exclusive. I guess no one really talked about it because it came out near Uncharted 2, Batman:AA and Demon's Souls. It's really cheap now and I thought it was quality.

    @Nightriff: Till the PS+ subscription is up, but if your subscription runs out you can renew the subscription and everything you got free is unlocked again. They rotate new stuff every month i think and so long as you download the game it is tied to your account and can be downloaded whenever so long as you have PS+.

    @Nightriff: Basically yes, everything you get for free under PS+ only works if you still have PS+. Here is the PS.Blog post about it for more info.

    @MourerR: Yeah I probably won't do this then, I don't want to get locked into buy their subscription every year to play games. They should make it that you have to buy a year subscription to get the free games to weed out the people that would buy the smaller subscription for the free games (i.e. me)

    InFamous 2 is great. Love it. Best open world traversal in video games.

    Oh, and Uncharted 2 is off the uncharts.

    If you were only going to buy one game, I would make it the Uncharted Greatest Hits Dual Pack. Uncharted 1 and 2 for 40 bucks!

    What are you saying to this poor person?! lol

    I'd go with Uncharted, Infamous, Folklore (if you want something a bit different), God of War collection or 3, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus collection.

    Agreed with many on this list but also get into PSN+ as there's a lot of free games this month (like Just Cause2) which are well worth the time going into.

    Congrats! I was a staunch--and I mean staunch--360 owner for the last five years. And I just got my PS3 in December, but holy shit, man. I love it. I hope you love yours just as much.

    Is the PS3 your only HD console? Do you own a 360 and/or PC? Kind of important to know.

    Also, what kind of games do you enjoy?

    Buy a 3 month sub to PSplus and you have an instant crop of free games to mess with.

    PS Plus is good in short bursts. THey just released FULL retail games on it for FREE. LittleBigPlanet 2, inFAMOUS2, etc are available for free. If you can play through em quickly you can get 3 months and then cancel; 18 bucks for a handful of games is nice.

    Uncharted series (or just 2 and 3)

    Ratchet and Clank Future series

    InFamous series

    Metal Gear Solid 4

    LittleBigPlanet 2 just because

    Killzone 2 and 3 are both pretty good.

    These are the games I could recommend for PS3 exclusives. I'm sure I am forgetting some but these are the ones I have really enjoyed the most.

    -The Uncharted series is a must, although I am playing through UC3 right now and not enjoying it as much as the first two games.

    -If you haven't played Red Dead Redemption, get that pronto. It's probably only $20 now.

    -I would say go for a 3-month PS Plus subscription and play all those games for free.

    -If you like FPS, Killzone 3 is actually a pretty good game. I found it to be much more enjoyable than the Crap of Duty games.

    -Pass on Infamous (Infamous 2 is free w/ PS Plus anyways). It is overrated and boring with repetitive missions.
