What do you guys/girls think are the must-have games for the PS3?

I'm planning on buying one for a birthday present but I'm unsure which one to get.


Thanks,
Ben
 
There are quite a few my personal favourites are F1, Virtua Fighter 5 and Motorstorm. I wasn't too impressed with Resistance mind. Make sure you create an American or Japanese account so you can get the brilliant Ninja Gaiden demo and make sure you get GT: HD. Enjoy your new baby mate :cool:
 
Well Resistance for one if they like FPS games and online multi player, better be quick though with all the trouble its getting at the moment. The game starts off a bit slow at first but it gets a lot better, one of my Fav FPS games on any format. The multiplayer is great 40 player online death match is great fun if a bit too fast paced sometimes.

Motor storm is a good game if a bit limited in the options department. Online quite fun and there is some updates coming out soon to improve the online game.

F1 Championship Edition is great, but i would say its for F1 fans mostly as it is quite in depth but even so if youre not its still a great game to play not really tried in online much though.

If they haven't played Oblivion and like RPG type games then this is a must so much to do and is a good way to waste most of your life away!

Virtual Fighter 5 is a very good beat em up which will take an age to learn completely, but is still good fun, no online though which for some is a problem. Tekken 5 DR on the PS network is also very good and worth the £7 it costs now even though its a very basic option wise beat em up.

Towards the end of the month Ninja Gaiden Sigma is out if they havent played NG Black on the Xbox. It is a remake with extra levels weapons and playable characters though, is a bit hard though!
If i was to pick one it would be Oblivion just for the shear size and what you can do in the game, if its not there thing cant go far wrong with Resistance Fall of Man.
 
That's what I suspected. :(

I would have gone for Motorstorm personally, let's hope he doesn't have it already. Thanks peeps keep the suggestions coming.
 
Personally, I think RfoM is the best game on the PS3, but to call it a "must have" would be an insult to the phrase. Whilst an entertaining game, it is by no means great........in fact, the levels remind me of HL2 mixed with CoD, with the aliens from Halo thrown in (good, but nothing new or great). :cool:

For me Motorstorm is one of the worst due to it being unforgiving, irritating and limited........however, a lot of others seem to like it, so maybe it's just me. :D

I do get the impression at the moment that a lot of PS3 fans "big up" the games due to the fact they're the best of what's available, but can't help thinking that in 6 months time (when a few decent releases hit), every title available currently will be forgotten about.

Currently, the only things I have are Casino Royale and a couple of free demos - this being because I've sold all the rest before they become worthless/lose most of their residual value, which is an action I don't regret as they just weren't that good to start with. :(

I personally don't rate Motorstorm at all. I just got bored of it too quick.

Resistance is the best game on it, but thats if you like first person shooters.

Otherwise get God of War 1/2, I know these are PS2 games but they are better than anything the PS3 has to offer at the moment.

Does the person who you are buying the present for have a 360? If not then there are plenty of good PS3 games to keep you busy for quite a while as you wont have played them already on 360.
 
I'm waiting to see how this RFoM case proceeds. If Sony look like they will have to pull or alter the game in any way, I'm buying a copy. It could be come a collectors item in years to come. (and I will eventually get the console to play it on)
 
MLB '07 The Show, although it has a few bugs it is a great game :D

RFoM is also a must buy, doubt anything will come of it from the church. Since it is encouraging people to go shooting in churches, and over 1 million people have it, how many have since grabbed a 'Bullseye' and went tearing one up?
 
I have resistance and motorstorm, I would go for these. From playing demo's I would recommend F1 very strongly aswel, looks awesome. Apart from that I'd get some PS2 games, nearly all of them work on the PS3 now and can be had for quite cheap! :)
 
Personally, I have:

Resistance: Fall of Man
F1: Championship Edition
Motorstorm
NBA Homecourt
 
I'm playing The Godfather: Dons Edition at the minute and I must admit that it's not exactly next gen graphics (think it's a PS2 port) but it's a pretty good game - I'm really enjoying it :)

Just need to actually get around to watching The Godfather films now.!

No 360 sadly otherwise it would be a lot easier to buy something good.

He plays mostly sports games, football, wresting, tennis etc.

TBH your asking in the wrong forum. As you can see from the reply's everyone is really only quoting Sony exclusive games,and seem to have forgotten that there are quite a few reasonable multi platform games to be had.

OK as he likes sports I'd suggest these:

NBA07 or NHL07 (both can be had online for £17.99)and from reviews both scored well.
Fight Night Round 3 (great boxing game)
Vitua Tennis 3 (no online but still good fun)
NBA Homecourt
Tiger Woods 07
Tony Hawks (if he likes skateboarding)
MLB 07 (as already mentioned, has also had great reviews)

All of the above adveraged 8/10 from reviewers so which ever one you chose I think you won't go wrong :)

Of cousrse if he had a 360 it would be a lot easier to buy for him, 3 years extended warranty-no wrapping paper required :D
