About to take the plunge and get a PS3. There are a host of great games out at the moment, so I was wondering if anyone can recommend a great game to get. I like the 1st person shooters, but I also like games with story and a few puzzles in there too.... Like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, etc

Thanks

Scott

I'm not really into those type of games, but judging by what I've seen you might want to check out Mercenaries 2:

I saw my mate play it the other week when I dropped by his place before we went to the pub and it seemed like a good game. I have no desire to play it myself, mind you, but few of my mates seem to think it's a great game.

If like me you love the series then get the latest Metal Gear Solid, very long game, not as stealth based as the last ones but its still good and has a great story though confusing at times and IMO a little bit rushed towards the end.

hmmm, recomendations for a ps3 owner. how about "get an xbox".... :D

I think he wanted GOOD recommendations. :P

sorry, i thought he said sensible and logical recommendations...

FIFA 09 obviously.

But Star Wars: Force Unleashed is a good one, not very strategical and pretty short, but I found it was a brilliantly made game.

But Bioshock is absolutely brilliant. Heard it was one of the highest rated games ever. Seriously amazing game.

Apparently it's #3 ranked PS3 game based on the ratings average on metacritic:

Took the plunge and bought one yesterday, along with Resistance 2. So far the game is very atmospheric, but I do criticise it in one way: The game only lets you go in one direction, in as much as the path through any town or forest or spacecraft is very one dimensional. In Res Evil you get maps, and multiple floors etc.

This one, so far, just a pretty straight forward path that can deviate slightly, and finding exits can be tricky. But overall a decent game. I have heard Bioshock is great, so that might be the next purchase. Maks, your recommendation of Mercennaries could be a good one too!

if you like action rpg`s try fallout 3. fantastic game, very immersive. and you have to try bioshock, its possibly the best game ive ever played.

Would love to have Fallout 3 tbh. And I totally agree with that. It's just unmissable.

from what I have read, those are the next two I am buying!
