Hi Guys,

Unfortunately Ive been signed off from work for a while and its doing my nut in :(. Trying to pass the time by watching DVDs/BDs but that gets boring...

Anyway Ive got a PS3 and a load of games (half untouched) so I was wondering, while Ive got all this time what games should I pass the time in (and in what order) to make most use of this time off...

The games are:

FIFA 09
* F1 CE
GT5 Prologue
GRID
* MGS4
* Motorstorm
* Ratchet & Clank
* Resistance
* Singstar PS3
* Soul Calibur 4
* Super Stardust HD
* Stranglehold
Wipeout HD

* = pretty much untouched for different reasons (mostly not having the time). Ive not played MGS3, should I before I play MGS4?

Im determined to also buy Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Uncharted, Tekken 5 and Bionic Commando Rearmed soon so assume thats in my choice...

I got Stranglehold for less than a fast food meal so Ill keep it :p

I dont get much time to play games usually so pick-up-and-play-ones are the ones I get to play - making sure I dont pass up on an experience...

Is MGS4 that bad? ;)

Its like taking a meat cleaver to an operation when youve already got access to a scalpel - it might be a level playing ground, but so is playing Sunday league football if you ignore the Premiership...

Until console FPSs use Mouse+KB theres little reason to play them over the PC variant - its like playing GTR on the keyboard...

Bloody similes...

Ive got both on the PC when they came out ;)

Im not being blinkered - all Im saying is that when youve played such a game that lends itself to a mouse or keyboard when you attempt to play the same game on (for that game) an inferior input device its just not the same. As you said in another thread, perhaps its because they dont have a PC up to playing COD4 well...

I played Q3 for years and then tried it on the Dreamcast and it was just hopeless...

Its the reason why I prefer playing sports games and platformers on a gamepad rather than a keyboard - the right input device makes a massive difference to your enjoyment...

Perhaps its my circumstances that makes me dismiss console FPSs - I used to be quite competitive on Q3A and played it for a number of years at a good level. Things like aiming assistance just erk me, as Ive spent years getting good at being accurate and fast that such things for me arent needed.

Hell on my PC I have 3 different gamepads so when I play different types of games I have the right tools to hand - to me I dont think Im the one thats blinkered, as I fully accept and use whatever the best tool is for my gaming enjoyment...

rp2000 - definitely would give you a game - gonna play Tekken 5 PS2 to get used to the different system it employs...

EDIT: Yep BCR is the 2D retro-make - just wanted it because I remember the original (and a fair few games that utilised the same 'attachment') and loved it (I guess from your remark its vastly overpriced on PSN) - the proper 3D one does look gorgeous and I will deifnitely be getting that...

I dont deny keeping a gaming PC is like a blackhole sucking money - I just said the most natural thing to me - if console makers allow integration of mouse and keyboard into the games (I really thought they would have by now - especially with inbuilt internet browsers and the like) then I would probably have got COD4 for a console in addition to the PC version. I know its an old argument but thats my personal preference (which is why I wouldnt recommend COD4 or Bioshock on the PS3 without a caveat)..

Its not fair to think that translating such game types to consoles and 'fixing' it to use the standard gamepad gives the best overall gameplay experience.

Anyway lets get back to the topic as I need help to decide - Im like a kid in a candy shop with this new console and want to make sure I get the best out of it that my PC cant provide...

Cheers guys for the replies - I started R&C yesterday as I thought it would be short and I havent played a 3D platformer since probably Soul Reaver.

Wouldn't bother with the others as they are not really my cup of tea. Have you thought about trying Warhawk, burnout paradise, pixeljunk monsters or pixeljunk eden?

Ive heard good/bad things about Warhawk, enough for me to think that something like SOCOM might be better to get (I want the BT headset :p) and Ive played Burnout Paradise and thought the whole having to drive fast and hope you miss something that will ruin your whole race looked like it would get frustrating. Might rent it though...

Heard of the Pixeljunk games but no idea what they are...

Soul Reaver was excellent!!! I have not heard bad stuff about Warhawk from anyone who has played it extensively tbh. A couple of people who have not played it much constantly **** it off on these forums, but I guess they didn't like it so their choice.

Problem is as a FPS its probably not something Id get into on the PS3 - but I have picked up the US demo that came out last week. Im really only getting SOCOM cos of the headset (dont think it comes out on its own).

Burnout Paradise, I can't get enough off, Am even tempted to replay the whole game again for the trophies (even though I said I wouldn't, but after completing the game there is little left to do, (don't worry it took me 100 hours of fun to complete!!))

Bah you are making me regret not picking it up for £10 when I saw it :(

I really really like Monsters (2nd game) and Eden (3rd game). Racers (1st game) waste of money imo.

As pick up for 10-30 minute type games (which I guess is what most XBLA/PSn games aim for) they are unbeatable for value imo.

If you have a USA account there is a special offer atm. I think if you have (or buy) Monsters. Then if you buy Eden you get the add-on pack (extra levels) for Monsters free.

In their own way, they are both "puzzley" games (Monsters is a Tower Defence game and Eden, hard to describe) so if puzzlers aren't your thing, avoid.

Hmmm Ill hunt for some gameplay vids :)

@JBeck/mcwildcard - I guess those are my first games to play, got them 'free' with my PS3 so not that worried - but it makes sense :p
