I finally got a Wii! And my first PS3 game to boot!

Some games I have to get now because they're not in circulation much anymore. Take Zack and Wiki. I was barely able to find that game.
I've seen from the available selections that I'd probably play a few PS1 games from the PSN store. But I think overall I'm probably going to spend most of my time in the Wii Virtual Console store.
I'm a big racing fan, but I don't like floaty controls at all. How do the games you've mentioned control?
Hmm, I can't really play FPS without a keyboard and mouse. hehe. Any attachments for the PS3 for these kinds of games?
No wonder I couldn't find De Blob. hehe. Yea, I have RE4 on the Gamecube, didn't feel like purchasing it again.
Zack and Wiki is my next game after Mario Galaxy, so I'll let you know as soon as I tear into it. I'm really looking forward to it especially since many of the user reviews on sites like Amazon were pissed that it was so hard. They downrated it because of that.
Well screw them, that sounds great to me
Wipeout HD's not out yet, though I've heard something about it being out next month. It's a PSN game, though. There's also Burnout Paradise, it's an arcadish racer/crash-porn venue, but I don't think the controls would be 'floaty'. And I think you can get it cheap, nowadays.
Gran Turismo certainly doesn't have 'floaty' controls. It's a pretty hardcore racing sim, if you don't mind the game's view on crashes (a.k.a. they shouldn't ever happen, so modeling car damage is unnecessary).
I told you in Aim convos before , buy a 360
Resistance was fun , I also played uncharted which was good. You can find both used on ebay for as low as $15 bucks
If the 360 had a Bluray drive I'd have bought that instead of a PS3. From what I've seen the 360 has a superior gaming library anyway. At least for now.
Natoma, I'd b more easy if you told us what kind of games you like. But I'll try to do some guessing here, anyway.
So for PS3, I'd recommend Uncharted (It will look very fine on your Plasma) and Ratchet and Clank. Both are available as demos on the PSN, so you can check, if you like them. If you're into beat 'em ups, you can't pass on Virtua Fighter 5, BTW
If you like racers, check out GT Prologue (I imagine that will also look pretty nice on Plasma).
Apart from that, I was wondering which PS3 SKU you own. If you have a BC model, there're quite a few old PS2 titles to check out, if you haven't played them yet. Ico or Shadow of the Colossus might be right down your alley, IMO. Same is true, if you missed out on GC titles. e.g. Zelda: Windwaker, etc.
Action/Adventure Run N' Jump games (as you were able to tell)
Racing Games (Wipeout, Extreme G3, F-Zero mold)
Flight Games (Star Wars Rogue Squadron, for example)
RPGs (My favorite was Dragon Warrior series)
Puzzle games (hence Zack and Wiki)
Those are typically the games I play all the time. I have about 20 GC titles.
That said, I have the 40GB model. I bought it in March for $399
I'll give Wipeout HD a try when it comes out. Any demos for GT that I can give a try first before buying?
I can get that in the PSN store right?
Ugh, no. Just, no. No FPS on a controller.
The only FPS that I've seen that does justice on console is the Wii FPS like Metroid Prime 3, which I picked up. Or MOH, etc. No FPS on controllers. There should be a ban symbol or something.
Is it a long game?
If you like BoomBlox and Elebits etc., I recommend Pixel Junk Monsters off PSN, which can be played coop and is both gentle and taxing. Of course LBP is a no brainer when it comes out
I've been looking at photos for Pixel Junk Eden, but I honestly still can't tell what kind of game this is.
As for the MGS series, I've never played any of the games. Never been big on the stealth genre.
Btw, when is Little Big Planet due?
We have Soul Calibur IV, so I doubt we'll get another fighting game. Soul Calibur is the only series my husband likes playing.
Ratchet and Clank I'm going to give a try in the PSN store.
Uncharted, tried it but didn't like the control scheme or demo much at all.
RFOM?

It's a 2d platformer, but with a much more vertical bent. As in, you don't really go left-to-right, but rather try and climb the level.
A shooter? Wow, I thought those were a dead breed,
. That's why I didn't list the genre above. Looks kind of funky. Is everything limited to the globes, or does it also do the classic sidescrolling/topdown scrolling of shooters past?We have Soul Calibur IV, so I doubt we'll get another fighting game.

Resistance: Fall of Man. There's a sequel coming out this year.
Heavenly Sword isn't a fighting game, it's an action game, more along the lines of God of War. Metal Gear Solid is... er, Tactical Espionage Action. It's a stealth game, more akin to Splinter Cell (though also very different). It's sort of a mix between Splinter Cell and Hitman: Blood Money -- stealth isn't costume-based, but you can blast your way out of most stealth situations if you get sick of it. If you can live with often cool, often long-winded cut-scenes it's a pretty good game. But it's got shooterish elements, so that means controlling a reticle with the analog sticks, which may not be acceptable.
Er, I'm not sure what series you're familiar with, no idea if you know God of War. It's sorta like Devil May Cry, too, and also sorta like the Ninja Gaiden Xbox reboots, though it's much closer to GoW.

There's plenty of those filtering in via PSN or even the Wii's VC (you might want to check that out too, for some really old-school 'classics'). SSD is globe-based. Everyday Shooter is another really good choice, even if it's much weirder. But they're both games in which you're constrained. I think there's a 1942 remake demo up on PSN, which is the top-down style, but otherwise this gen hasn't been too rich in shooters, especially Sony-side. There's a handful of decent/good shooters (an Ikaruga port, for instance, though you may have that on GC) on XBLA, but that's probably not much help to you.

Jesus Christ this is the fastest moving thread I've ever seen on these forums.
@Natoma: Only "globes"/planets. But it's pretty unique in it. I am fairly certain there is a demo, but it's definitely worth the low price of admission. It's not what I would call a shooter...it's more like a free roaming space invaders. A shooter to me is Resistance, Wolf of the Battlefield or even BCR. You know, a game in which you run around with a gun in your hand.

Ahh, FPS. Beh. Kills FPS on console. Keyboard/Mouse only forever.
Ahh, ok. From the commercials it looked like Heavenly Sword was a pretty fighter, nothing more.
Haven't played God of War. Did play DMC demo on PS3, was 'meh' about it.
But no new standalone games that is. Nothing like Nanostray on the DS?
You were born during the N64 era weren't you.
Shooters before FPS came out were games like Gradius, Axelay, Thunderforce, etc. hehe.
Anywho, it kind of reminds me of Tempest 2000. Lots of powerups and psychedelic weapons. Think I'll give it a try.
