Ok here are the games I have and what I thought of them.. Based on this what should I buy thats out now at the moment that as I really seem to be struggling.

Burnout Paradise -
Enjoyed the game to an extent but to me I prefered the oridignal PS2 version

Modern Warfare Series -
Have all of them, I play online for about 1 hour then switch off.

FIFA 11 -
Great game but only play when my friends are around.

Uncharterd 1, Drakes Fortune -
Completed and enjoyed it at the time.

Batman Arkham Asylum -
Absolutley loved this and think it is my all time favorite game.

Unchartered 2, Honour Amoung thieves - Started playing this straight after I played Batman and struggled to get into it. Probably completed about 25% but have not really tried picking it up.

Red Dead Redemption -
Really enjoyed this and played for many hours

Portal - Rented this last weekend. I couldnt really get into it and switched off after a couple of levels.



Im not really interested in racing games like GT5 as I am waiting to get a steering wheel before I start playing them.


So based on this what suggestions do you have for really good games that I can get stuck into.

Borderlands is very good.

I play MAG a lot (online only game)

Just Cause 2 is meant to be a laugh (guy at work loves it)

Have you tried Dead Space?

I'd give U2 another go, it's one of the best games I've ever played.

Assassins Creed 2 & AC:Brotherhood are also well worth the asking price (AC1 avoid, I've never played it but by all accounts isn't a patch on it's sequels). I can't get enough of the AC games.

Currently playing Mass Effect2 and am properly hooked - never placed Mass Effect.

I would second assassins Creed 2. Great game and always seem to be going back on it.

What about Call Of Duty Black Ops.

Sorry should have mention I have Call of Duty as well.


Assasins creed seems like a good call. Also I read a quick review on Just Cause 2 whihc seems like it could be fun.


Hoe complicated is Assasins Creed 2?

I wont be playing the first. Will it make a difference?

God of war 3 and i also recommend Dead Space 2.

If you have the Cod games you should add a few of us from the PS3 Cod evening players thread.
The enjoyablity factor goes up tenfold when your playing with mates and when you work in a team.

Not complicated, and no need to play the first, I didn't and don't feel like I missed much/anything.

Dirt 3, NBA 2K11 and the latest SOCOM.
All great.

Fallout 3
Oblivion

If they're your kind of game, you have to play them.

Metal Gear Solid 4. You won't play a better game on this generation of console. MGS3 was better though.

Should be one of the free games you can choose.

Bit behind the times I'll admit. The ps3 games apart from Inamous don't seem to be my kind of thing, still free is free.

I know you said no GT5 but that game is sooo good! I am totally hooked and I am going to go buy a wheel soon and even going to buy a stand and race seat when money allows. I love it and every Pistonheader should have it!

Well last night I purchased Assasins Creed II for £10 and the few minutes I have played- it seems right up my street. -Thank you to all who suggested.


As we speak I am downloading Wipeout HD and Infamous thanks to the offer from Sony.
