I can afford one used PS3 game with my left over store credit.

Super Stardust HD

Of the three full games you listed, I liked R&C the best. It is more of the same, though. I think most people here will tell you Uncharted though, and I couldn't get into that.

I'll fucking second this.

Thirded.

Everyday Shooter is also good.

I cast an anti-vote for Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Disappointment

SSHD is the best game on PS3 still. Do they sell psn points cards at your store?

What a load of shit options. MLB The Show 2007 so you can play it for a month before GOTY MLB The Show 2008 comes out.

Ratchet is some beautiful rehash but its deja vu all fuk over again. Uncharted is honestly fuck mediocre, didnt Tomb Raider Anniv come out for ps3? Fucking get that you bitch. Oh and get Resistance too, that wasnt bad I hear and the sequel looks good.

they all have demos (not sure about PSN games). I thought the demos for R:FOM, UC, and R&C were all pretty mediocre though.

Dude, I already pre-ordered MLB The Show: 08. Have some faith, man!

No, Anniversary didn't come out for the PlayStation 3. I haven't even bought it for the Xbox 360 either! $:-\$

Yeah, the sequel looks sweet. I reserved that already. Is Ninja Gaiden Sigma any good?

brawndolicious · « **Reply #8 on:** February 20, 2008, 08:19:42 PM »

Sigma was decent but it looks like an xbox game and plays worse than NG:Black imo because of the controller. it also has a demo of the first level on PSN.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #9 on:** February 20, 2008, 08:20:09 PM »

give up and just buy blu-Ray movies like the rest of us

I recommend the Kubrick remasters

PS3

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #10 on:** February 20, 2008, 08:20:37 PM »

Sigma is good if you dont own any other version, its a nice visual boost and its one of the better offerings on ps3 if you havent already played Ninja Gaiden to death. I dont agree with am nintenho on the controller issue, if anything I found Sigma easier than Black.

TVC15 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 20, 2008, 08:20:49 PM »

Sigma is pretty good if you haven't played NG twice before. It also has some annoying screen tearing.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #12 on:** February 20, 2008, 08:22:41 PM »

I played Ninja Gaiden when it first came out for the original Xbox, but my brother ruined my copy before I beat it. I never even played Black. I was kind of thinking of buying Black from XBL Arcade to get caught up for Ninja Gaiden II.

Looks like Ninja Gaiden Sigma or Resistance 'till MLB 08: The Show. Oh well. Hot Shots Golf is around the corner too.

Honestly, the controller's only an issue if you've never owned a playstation. It's most likely a non-issue other than rumble I guess though.

Sigma also feels a smidge easier than previous releases. Some of the new content is ace, too. The screen tearing isn't that big of an issue. It just bugged me beause, well, the game is clearly not pushing any technical limits.

TVC15 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 20, 2008, 08:25:51 PM »

Warhawk isn't bad, but if you have to limit yourself to one game, I wouldn't recommend it.

I really like it, but it's multiplayer only, so that's something you need to think about if you're strapped for cash and like having single player options.

Warhawk is fun for a bit. You get the sense that it could be awesome, but it falls very short.

It really reminded me of Shadowrun, in regards to that.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #19 on:** February 20, 2008, 08:28:08 PM »

Sounds like Sigma is the winner! I think I can nab Resistance for free off of Sony's retail loyalty site anyway.

+1 vote for Resistance

oh Sigma wins, even better!

Retail Loyalty site you say? What must you do to get free shit off that site?

You have to work in retail.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #22 on:** February 20, 2008, 08:30:02 PM »

Uncharted, really fun game....but try to ignore the last couple of levels. Definitely the best exclusive game on the system right now, imo. Sigma's pretty sweet too.

Fuck Resistance and Ratchet & Clank though. Just boring as all hell. Rentals at best.

On PSN, pick up Pixel Junk Monsters, Everyday Shooter, and Gripshift (if you don't have it already). I was never too impressed with SSHD but there's certainly some quality behind it. Most everything else in the store is XBLA-quality fodder.

Resistance is good, especially when you remember that it was a launch title. It's got good multi, too. But outside of the multiplayer, it's totally unambitious. As a launch title, it's probably a 9 or a 10, but when playing it without launch goggles, it is probably a 7 or 8.

Oh, Pixeljunk Monsters is pretty cool. And Everyday Shooter. I kinda like Pain but it needs more content badly. Not worth the price currently.

Tekken DR is also in the PSN store. Nab that if you want a fighter.

drohne · « **Reply #24 on:** February 20, 2008, 10:53:02 PM »

uncha

tho sshd + everyday shooter would work too

CurseoftheGods · « **Reply #25 on:** February 20, 2008, 10:55:23 PM »

Sigma was fucking awesome. SSHD is also great.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #26 on:** February 20, 2008, 10:55:51 PM »

I would say Uncharted. But then as drohne says you could get SSHD, Everyday Shooter and Pixel Junk Monsters for roughly the same price.
