PS3 first game purchase...help

[PanamaMarco]

Hey guys,

Okay so I have almost 60 movies now and ready to step into the
gaming world with my PS3.

Please tell me what are the easiest games to begin my quest. I have played
video games in my past life but nothing lately.

I like role playing games and lot's of blood is okay also. The sports games
are in my future but not now.

Please help a newbie get started.

Thanks for all advice.

Ciao.

Uncharted, Drakes Fortune.

Great game, easy to pick up and learn. Great graphics.

Uncharted - Drake's Fortune.

Amazing graphics, fun gameplay and exciting storyline. Can't go wrong with the characters either.

Newbie or not, this game is a MUST have for PS3 owners.

If you like fast-paced action, adrenaline-pumping, demon-hunting game, then go with Ninja Gaiden Sigma. A similar caliber game, Devil May Cry 4, will be in store Feb 6.

Actually log in to your PS3 Network store and download the demos for those 2 games to get an idea

this is DMC4 gameplay video in youtube, it's so kick-ass

Same with Uncharted.

I suggest give the demo a try as well.

Sorry I forgot to mention that earlier.

you should also check out some ps2 games as well. more to choose from, much much cheaper, especially if you dont know exactly what you like $60 can be a costly mistake

[tommyboy81]

The easiest? Poker from the PSN. Just kidding. Go for Uncharted

No, wait! They should probably get ps1 games instead, they are cheaper!

they could get like 30 for the price of one PS3 game.

I'm going to have to also suggest Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Great story, gameplay, and top of the line graphics.

Easy to pick up. I'd start here and then maybe give Heavenly Sword a try.

if youre only a CASUAL gamer do not pick up devil may cry...cuz the devil aint gonna be the only one crying when you cant beat the first boss....uncharted is probably youre best bet like the other guys have been saying...COD4 is also a good fps...if youre into role playing games and have mucho time on your hand...pick up oblivion...

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

It's the 2006 game of the year. And the best RPG I've ever played.

With more than 300 hours of gameplay, it's the best bang for your buck as far as PS3 games go

[tru_to_blu]

Uncharted Drakes Fortune, then in April get Grand Theft Auto IV because it will be awsome.

[Petra_Kalbrain]

'Uncharted: Drake's Fortune' is a definite must own. Another fun constant playable game is 'Unreal Tournament III'.

[AranhaHunter]

RPGS
1)Oblivion
2)Folklore

Adventure
1)Uncharted
2)Ratchet

Shooters
1)CoD4
2)UT3
3)Resistance
4)Warhawk

Hack and Slash
1)Ninja Gaiden Sigma
2)Heavenly Sword
3)Devil May Cry 4 (Not out yet)


Based on what you said (You like RPGs and easy games), I'd suggest Oblivion and Ratchet

[sj001]

If you like RPGs, you owe it to yourself to pickup Oblivion, awesome game with tons and tons of world to explore. Make sure you get the Game of the Year edition that comes with the Shivering Isles expansion! The game is pretty complex, like most RPGs.

Otherwise, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, or try Heavenly Sword.

[Mastrodisastro]

I can suggest you some of these games:

1) Uncharted Drake's Fortune
2) Motorstorm
3) Unreal III
4) Ratchet & Clank
5) Heavenly Sword
6) Ninja Gaiden Sigma
7) Call of Duty 4
8) Resistance: Fall of Man
9) Virtua Fighter 5
10) Warhawk

[Havok83]

Uncharted is a must

The titles I would recommend to someone with 60 Blu-rays and 0 games would be:

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Dazzling eye candy and great cutscenes/acting that will warm the heart of any dedicated movie-lover. Oh, and it happens to be a fantastically fun game, too.

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Ever watch a Pixar movie and want to interact with it? That's the experience that R&CF: ToD offers. Incredible real-time CGI and excellent gameplay, and a lot of laughs along the way. Highly recommended!

Super Stardust HD (PlayStation Network download)
Pick-up and play shoot-em-up that's fast paced, addictive, and amazingly beautiful all at the same time.

EDIT: Whoever suggested Ninja Gaiden Sigma above need to be slapped. That game is hard even for gaming veterans, let alone complete newcomers. Do NOT buy Ninja Gaiden Sigma if you're new to gaming (ditto for Devil May Cry 4).

Like you, I use my PS3 primarily for movies. I do game occasionally, but a game has to have a compelling story, outstanding production value to keep my interest (of course it has to be fun too).

If you have a PS3 with backwards compatibility with the PS2 (20GB, 60GB and 80GB PS3), then I highly recommend both God of War games (for PS2). These are fun games with a compelling story. Also, like any good movie, there are a lot of behind the scenes and making of extras included on a 2nd disk for both games.

I will have to try Uncharted, as I have heard good things about it.

I also have Resistance: Fall of Man. While it is a fun game, it hasn't really kept my interest. I still haven't finished the campaign mode yet (I don't do online very much, so I haven't played the R:FOM multi player.
