Okay so this techinically has nothing to do with Midway, but I'm curious. So, I'm going to be getting a PS3 for Christmas this year, and I need some suggestions on some good games for it. No FPS or anything like that. I tend to play Fighters and RPG/Strategy games. Here's my list of games I want so far:

MK vs. DCU
Soulcalibur IV
Virtua Fighter 5
Street Fighter IV <-- When it's released.

[Thanks for the suggestions peace ~~ 1472]

God of War III
LittleBigPlanet
MGS4
Motorstorm 2
Tekken 6
Super Stardust HD (PSstore)
Pain (PSstore)

Those are some exclusives that i'd consider you read about and consider getting. If you don't like FPSs, you might not like MGS4 (it's a 3rd person shooter), but it's truly an epic game.

Oooh let's see....

MKvsDC and Soul Calibur 4 are indeed good choices wink

Silent Hill:Homecoming, if you like this type of game, will be a must in 7 days from now wink haha

Bioshock (I usually don't like first person shooters, but the story really got to me! The gameplay is pretty fluid and easy too happy

God of War III
Metal Gear Solid 4
Devil May Cry 4
DBZ: Burst Limit
Guitar Hero

I'll be honest, I don't own a PS3, but those games are games my close friends (who all have a PS3 :P ) consider really good.

If you've played and completed MGS1, 2 and 3, MGS4 is definitely a must for you. A brilliant conclusion to an awesome story.

I'd also like to second the following choices;
Devil May Cry 4
Silent Hill: Homecoming
LittleBigPlanet
Super Stardust HD

Also, Saints Row 2 if you like running around a city blowing things up.

Question to PS3 owners.
Which PS3 allows you to play PS2 games?
Is it
a: 40 gb PS3?
b: 60 gb PS3?
or
C: 80 gb PS3?

All vote now, lol. Seriously which one?

And just to stay on topic

When I get a PS3, I would be getting
God or war 3 (that is what's gonna tempt me to get one, the other 3 rocked!)
Tekken 6
MK9 wink
RE5
SH5

All these games I would buy and I recommend them to you too.

Yes Rd, only the 60Gb model plays them. I Luckily got 2 of them grin
The 40, 80 and the soon-to-be-released 160 models only play ps3 and psOne games (or at least some of them)

For some reason, my 60GB PS3 won't play the third disc of Final Fantasy 8(PS1 game). You can probably imagine my frustration when I got more than halfway through the game and they told me to 'change to disc 3' only to find it not working. It's been 3 months now, and I don't remember anything of the story from the first two discs and there's no way I'm playing all over on a PS2/PS1. tongue

God Of War is an absolute must, I and II. It's the strongest playstation series of all time. III is coming out in 09 and is going to be mindblowing.

I'd suggest GTA IV but you said no FPS. sad

By the way, even if someone suggests it, don't even touch Assassins Creed. It's the most repetitive game I've ever seen. One level through and you've done the whole game.

I actually really liked Assassins Creed and didn't find it the least bit repetitive. Well, I did a little at some points during my second playthrough, but that was it. AC is really awesome, IMO. ^^

You didn't find it repetitive? Everything in it's the same.

I'll give it a strong rating on graphics though. It's a very mixed game, some people are absolutely nuts over it, some absolutely hate it, I actually think it's decent at best. Hitman is a much stronger stealth game.

Imagine the feeling you got while playing the first 'level'. You were most likely excited what with it being a new game and all. Well, that's the feeling I had except it lasted throughout the entire game. I don't know why, but I didn't find it the least bit repetitive. And the reason I played it twice is I always like to play games with decent stories at least more than once in case I miss anything important.

I've never tried any Hitman games before though.

The Hitman games are alot of fun if you like stealth and well ... being a Hitman

The newest one "Blood Money" is my fav ... esp. the White House level in it

Here's my opinion:

MK vs DCU - LOL! You have to buy this one!

Soul Calibur IV - PM/Ask MariaSunderland! She has the game and she said she loved it but better talk to her because I never played it!

Virtua Fighter 5 - Best fighting game I've played! I have it, owned it, took like 2 months playing it 3 hours a day to complete it with a figher (in story mode)!

Street fighter IV - I think this game will be cool, but not nearly as MK vs DCU!

Tekken 6 - IMO tekken is a failed rip off of Virtua Fighter! You will find VF5 better in gameplay! Don't know about story because I don't know nothing about tekken! If you like animated endings, buy tekken!


RPG/Stategy Games:

THE ELDER SCROOLS IV - OBLIVION - GOTY EDITION - My friend has this game (but it is not the GOTY EDITION) and he says he played it more than 100 hours and has not completed the game!


Hope this helps! happy
