hey all i think im getting a ps3 soon and want to now which games to get for it.
I have a high power gaming pc so not overly botherd about any FPS unless its awesome like the equivelent of halo, and im not bothered about games i can get on pc i.e.DIRT

thanks
 
um, well theres not many that you cant get on pc.

Formula 1 if you like that sort of thing

Some people rate Motorstorm, though personally i didn't like it.

Virtua Fighter 5 if you like fighters

Ninja Gaiden Sigma is pretty good, although basically an upgraded port of nija gaiden on the xbox if you played that.
 
thats why i am thinking of holding on and getting one when gta4 comes out... and hoping there is a price drop by then i think. basically waiting for a game worth having a ps3 for (but obviously you could say the same of a 360).
PS i hate tekken style games :p

thought about it. but my mates 360 is as loud as my dyson and 1/3 break anyway :(
when I heard of the 360 elite I thought it was a winner. but i changed my mind when i found out they STILL chew disks and dont come with the hddvd in built

fair enough, but if you're a pc gamer and dont want a 360 then id say its not really worth getting a ps3 until next year when the big releases start hitting the shelves.

Shouldnt have said that TBH, as now your just going to get an influx of flamers rather than people telling you what you want an answer to.

Personally i find a lot of the games on the PS3 great fun. Ive just tried Sonic, and while annoying at times it actually rather addictive (im almost 21 and admitting to that). Virtua Fighter is great fun, adn it the kind of game that just doesnt work too well on a PC, definately worth a go.

Personally i fond Rainbow 6: Vegas brilliant on the PS3. I know its out on the PC, but ive heard its a sod to get running smoothly unless you have a absolutely mint rig.

Gran Turismo:HD is amazing, its only a demo but its probably my most played game on the 360. Its not too arcadey, but has a fun factor to it. GT5 shoud be amazing when its realeased if thats anything to go by.

F1 is really good, very good fun but pretty low on realism on all aspects. If you enjoy F1 then youll love this game, its last years cars but you get all the commentary offf the ITV team so it adds a very TVesque feel to it.

Ninja Gaiden is certainly somethign you wont find on the PC, its very very good, but very hard IMO, so be prepared to swear at it an awful lot.
 
In addition:

The Darkness: IMO just another fps, but some on here think it's something special!

Resistance fall of man: Fast paced fps,with some interesting weapons & story. MP is pretty good (up to 40 players)


As you don't have a 360 then there are a few other games worth checking out, Ridge racer, Marvel Alliance, Tony Hawks, Fight Night R3 & COD3 (not sure if any of these are on the PC).


To look forward to in the next couple of months:

Everybody's Golf 5 (import?) - cutesy golf game, but strangely addictive
Lair (Import) - Big bad dragons, looks great
Stranglehold - action game, looks similar to Max Payne
Warhawk - Online and looks similar to BF2 but with more planes
Heavenly Sword - demo tomorrow, could be first AAA title, similar to God Of War on the PS2

To name just a few..

IMO if you are looking at more online gaming, similar to the PC then the 360 currently offers a better experience.

Enjoy whatever you get :)

I dont know, I cant see that many games on the PS3 that are dissimilar from the 360. Or where they are its not genres that i'm intrested in.

Really the only game i'm looking forward to on any format is Halo 3 at the moment. If i was'nt looking forward to halo 3 and I didnt have a 360 or a PS3 I'd still go for the 360, cheaper and the PS3 offers nothing above the 360 other than a blu-ray player, wheras the 360 has a much larger and proven games catalogue.

There's still just no strong argument to get a PS3 other than the fact it plays blu-ray movies.

You may not be interested in them? but to say their not to dissimilar to the games arriving on the 360 is just absurd :(

The majority of 360 games arriving appear to be either FPS or RPG's, and there's very few of them arriving on the PS3 this year....
