So, having bought a PS3 earlier this week, I am starting to play the lineup of Sony exclusives that have eluded me as an Xbox and Wii owner. I bought a handful of games (more than I should) so I am trying to play them one at a time, rather than start playing Resistance 1 & 2, Uncharted, and Killzone 2 all at the same time. Resistance was first. That game was not so good. It obviously didn't age well. I found my patience wearing thin while I played it, suffering through each level sometimes. Suffering is a strong word, but on some occasions, that is what it felt like. 
 
I just put in Uncharted: Drakes Fortune a little while ago and I totally love it so far. The Trophy support is a nice plus, but this game has STORY. Resistance was a simple, linear, shoot-everything-that-shoots-you game, and I became tired of it fast. I almost snapped and bought Uncharted 2 only based on what the GB guys were saying about it, but I was afraid I wouldn't want to play this one. So far, Uncharted is pretty darn awesome and puts Resistance to shame in every way possible. I'm sincerely excited to play more of this game, and I am now afraid I will buy Uncharted 2 for my own personal thirst for this quality story and character setup. It is just odd, comparing Uncharted to Resistance. I wish Sergeant Hale said more than 3 words in Resistance, but that is Resistance taking from Halo. Hats off to Uncharted for making me super excited to boot up my PS3, when Resistance failed to do so.

Three FPS and a TPS. They're all great games, but I woulda mixed it up a bit. Maybe buy LittleBigPlanet next?
 
As for Resistance, I really enjoyed it. For a while I was hooked on multiplayer, especially since online gaming was relatively new to me at the time, but looking back on it I can see why it might've aged badly. Sadly the sequels multiplayer didn't live up to it, but the campaign and co-op are awesome.

If you're all for renting games, I'd say rent Heavenly Sword.  If you do really like it and don't mind how short it is, why not buy it.  Unless you're not into hack 'n slash games, I'd have to recommend a few PSN games such as Shatter, Fat Princess, and maybe flower.

Thanks for all the tips. I'm planning to get to a lot of these over time. 
 
PSN games I already got: LocoRoco Coccorecho, Critter Crunch, Noby Noby Boy, and Trash Panic. I really like that Sony isn't afraid to price games at weird amounts (6 or 7 dollars). 

If you are enjoying Uncharted, trust me, you will LOVE Uncharted 2.  It makes everything about uncharted better (length, more intuitive controls, better looking).  It is truly amazing.

" LBP is way up there on my list, but at 60 bucks yet I am waiting for a sale. "

Haha, I should make a "Games I have" and a "Games the GB community says I must get" for the PS3 on the site here. I'll just keep this blog around and I'll find this stuff. I really appreciate the recommendations.
