Third Person viewpoint PS3 Games
Discussion
Given my predilection for nearly throwing up when I play FPS game on my new-to-me PS3 (see here), can anyone recommend some third-person viewpoint games?
I've already got GTA 4, which I seem to be OK with. So looking for similar viewpoints.
Don't have to be all-action shooters, in fact I prefer puzzle/adventure/exploring type stuff. In GTA I sometimes just spend an hour or two just driving around and looking at the sights
I've got Uncharted on my shortlist.
What else?

I highly recommend the Batman Arkham games, it sounds exactly like your description; puzzle/adventure/exploring with a lot of beating up along the way. The first two games are a lot better than the 3rd (Arkham origins), but I'd start with Arkham Asylum which is the first one and it's probably £10 new now!
The most fun I had with 3rd person games on PS3 has been inFamous and inFamous 2 if I'm honest. More on the all action side, but the choice of good superhero or bad superhero keeps things interesting, and I thoroughly enjoyed doing both sides in both games. Should both be under £10 so definitely worth a look.

Clearly you have played neither Fallout 3 nor Skyrim (which OP is my other answer to your question).Butter Face said:
Hitman: Absolution is great.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is also pretty decent but not as good as Hitman.
And if you want to mix up some first person, Farcry 3 is brilliant too IMO.
As much as I love Deus Ex HR, it is mostly first person with 3rd person pov when you're sneaking about; would still recommend it tho. Red Dead Redemption must be worth a shout? I only got a few hours in before moving overseas (and leaving my gaming habit behind Deus Ex: Human Revolution is also pretty decent but not as good as Hitman.

) but it seemed like a really solid game. Tomb Raider must be worth a look as well. parabolica said:
