Could someone with a PS3 just check something for me please?

My one and only gripe is that the Halo series is XBox. Is there any equivalent on the PS3?

Killzone's the only Playstation exclusive shooter series that comes to mind. I don't like them quite as much as Halo but they're definitely worth checking out (you can buy them in a complete trilogy pack now which includes the first game remastered in HD but you'd have to import it as it's not released in the EU yet).

Edit: Doh, forgot about Resistance. Also pretty good games if you're a fan of the Ratchet and Clank weapon design.
 
I'll have a look at them but what I meant was, is there a decent shooter with a good story a la Halo? Is Gears Of War not along those lines?
 
Cod 4 modern warfare had a decent single player. It was a very good game, haven't played any of the others though. Fps don't really have good stories.

You'd be better off with mass effect, excellent games. Also, the trilogy just came out on ps3 :)

I take it you'll have played Mass Effect already? Only other series that's also on the PS3 that I can think of that's anywhere near Halo's scope in story. As ZG002 recommended, Uncharted's a good place to start as well - very cinematic and fast paced but more in the vein of a cover based shooter with puzzles (think Gears of War meets Tomb Raider). Resonance of Fate is very good too and the story's well told, but the gameplay is more like Valkyria Chronicles along the lines of a J-RPG with gunplay. The combat looks really stylish and is great fun once you get the hang of it.
