Please help a new PS3 owner to choose a game

Thanks for reading.

I've recently bought a second hand PS3. I always said I'd buy one just for God of War, so naturally I've already bought all of those. The problem now is that I need some guidance as to what trilogy I should buy first between the following:

inFamous
Killzone
Uncharted

Thanks for helping and please let me know if I've missed an essential PS3 exclusive which is available in a trilogy pack or a collection pack!

Cheers!

I don't own a PS3 myself, but I would vote for Uncharted, those games are really good.

Note that if bandwidth isn't an issue for you, you might want to consider PlayStation Plus.

InFamous 2 is among the free games on offer. You better move on it as they frequently rotate out the free games.

Here's one of the best deals you will find on a subscription - R365 for a year: http://www.btgames.co.za/bt/infopage.asp?C13702



I wouldn't bother with Killzone 1 and 2 unless you are planning to become a franchise fan or something. Killzone 3 is the best one in terms of graphics and gameplay. They are pretty generic shooters.

If you are looking for a good shooter on PS3, also check out Resistance 3 - great story and gameplay in that one.

The Uncharted series never really captured my attention. Story-driven action-adventure 3rd-person shooter with an modern-day Inidana Jones vibe. The series is highly praised because it broke ground in terms of visuals, and also had pretty slick design. Plenty of spectacular set-pieces - press X to win! Underneath the impressive veneer it's a fairly generic 3rd person cover shooter with some linear platforming elements.

Again, in this case go for Uncharted 3 as it's the best in the series and has been enjoying regular updates and multiplayer support.

InFamous is probably your best bet if you want to get into a series (there are only 2 games released so far). Your decisions from InFamous 1 will carry over into InFamous 2, but don't think it will be all that significant. It's a nice touch but doesn't really affect InFamous 2 that greatly.

You'll be seeing a pattern to my advice by now - go for InFamous 2 and skip 1. They ironed out some of the design flaws from 1 while retaining what made it good. Of all the games mentioned you'll probably get the most longevity out of InFamous 2 as it's pretty massive. Also, it has a nifty feature of community designed and shared missions that can be injected into your play experience, so it's a pretty robust game.

Finally, if you enjoyed God of War I'd like to throw in a suggestion for one of my favourite games - Dante's Inferno.

Good luck!

Thanks for the helpful reply. I actually bought a PS3 and GoW because of Dante's Inferno. I enjoyed that game so much that I desperately looked for a similar game. I've played so many games on my Xbox by now, I thought it would be a great time to play those elusive PS3 gems.

Based on your reply I shall try out inFAMOUS.

Thanks again.

I've got an extra copy of inFamous for you if you're interested. PM me.

Uncharted is something spectacular, a must-play for any PS3 owner. But as James said, if bandwidth isn't a problem, get PlayStation Plus.

Uncharted series or GoW3, no question. :)

I prefer inFamous over Uncharted as well. I loved the open world city and acrobatics.

Definately check out PS+, or even check out what's on special at https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/, they have super good prices, and you can check what "free" games you'd get if you do sign up on ps+.

Uncharted is a must play IMO, and inFamous is great as well, and you can get inFamous 1 free on PS+, as has been mentioned, and Sleeping Dogs, which was also lekker.

I vote for Uncharted Trilogy
If your into open world games then Go with inFamous
Also try Heavy Rain and The Journey on PSN Store
