Ok so the ps3 gas ran stale. Call of duty is repetitive, gt5 has run its course. FIFA is just the same. And nobody comes on bf3. I'm bored of the ps3. Any game suggestions?
 
If you're into it, Metal Gear Solid is a pretty addictive game. Lets not forget the inFAMOUS games, they're lots of fun.
 
I live in Morecambe. Its never beautiful.

I have got metal gear 1,2 solid 1,2,3,4 and peacewalker so im working through them :)
 
I heard that the God of War games were pretty good. Haven't played them so I can't confirm.
 
The Uncharted series is pretty good too, I thought. Failing that, I recommend you browse the PSN store, there are some good PSOne games that might be hard to come by on disc now (Fear Effect and the sequel come to mind) and some pretty fun PS3 games like Journey, StarHawk (maybe, WarHawk was great back in 2007 but probably dead now) and some others. Dead Space could be worth looking into if you haven't tried it already, Portal 2 was great, Burnout Paradise (but I expect the online part will be dead by now)... I haven't actually bought a new PS3 game since GT5 though so I don't really know about anything since then. I do want to get Uncharted 3 though.
 
Apart from the afore mentioned Uncharted and Metal Gear; Assassin's Creed, Red Dead, LA Noire, Skate, Fight Night and Skyrim. (Although I'd suggest buying a PC for Skyrim)
 
God of war games are very good, especially number 3.
And Sniper Elite Version 2 is awesome, at least the demo is. The full game is coming out in 2 days time I think.
And as others have suggested Uncharted (any of the 3) is very fun.
Personally Ellis I think you should get Grand Theft Auto 4 so you can play with Ferg, cheese and me :D (and spurgy if he gets it)
It will prepare you nicely for the release of GTA5 later this year :D
 
So don't play it anymore?

PC gaming is quite nice. You know you want to drink the Kool-Aid.
 
My recommendations are Uncharted or Assassin's Creed. I rented Uncharted 3 and loved it, it is the smoothest game I've ever played. As for Assassin's Creed, if you're sick of the norm, give this a try. There's a lot of sci-fi stuff in it, some of it's cool, some of it gets annoying, but all in all they're great games. If you plan on purchasing them, skip AC, get AC2, AC: Brotherhood, and if you have any cash left get AC: Revelations, as the multiplayer in that one is awesome.

That was the most expensive decision I've ever made... Long story short, I started off playing PC games via Boot Camp on my Mac, got hooked, built a PC and have since built a sim racing rig which will soon have three monitors on it. Not cheap, not by a long shot! Then again the games are far cheaper than they are on PS3, new games are quite often £10-20 cheaper, and ludicrous sales and pay-what-you-want indie bundles do help ease the pain of spending £470 on a top-of-the-range graphics card (like I'm going to soon).

I might have imagined it but I thought Starhawk was already out for Plus members, but I imagine it's out soon. I don't actually know, but I think that was obvious.

Assassin's Creed is indeed worth a try if you've not touched it before, but I'd start with AC2 if you don't care about the story because the first was more of a tech demo, there wasn't much to do. I mean I personally enjoyed it, but it was quite heavily slated for being too repetitive.

GTA IV, yep, excellent game too, but unless you can find it for very cheap it might be better to find some other games for a few months and get GTA 5 later this year (I think?).

Another I've just thought of is Just Cause 2, it's not perfect but you try and name another game where you can do even half the stuff there is to do in JC2. It's got a properly massive open world, so big that you probably won't see about three quarters of it if you only do the main missions (which you can't actually do anyway because the game makes you cause trouble to progress) and slightly RPG-style weapon and vehicle upgrades, a ludicrous plot and the cheesiest voice acting I've heard in a long time, but you're supposed to play it like it's an Arnie film, no, worse, a Van Damme film.

My computer cannot handle big games like Skyrim and will probably crash if I attempted to run Portal. However, my computer can still play minecraft which is great, 'cause that's the only computer game I play. Since my computer runs on an i3 processor, not much of an improvement off of my old computer which was pretty much a fossil.
 
Skyrim and Oblivion GOTY edition are essential. I also have a copy of Fallout: New Vegas, but I'm planning on buying the new version with all the DLC on the disc as HDD space is at a premium right now.

I can't recommend those games enough. Spent over 500 on the three and I'm still hankering to go back for more. In oblivion, I specialize in Magic and one handed swords. In Skyrim, I specialize in two handed swords and in New Vegas, I'm just a wanderer who's good with a rifle. I suspect that there are easily another 500 hours to be spent messing around on those three games, as I can vary it up with new characters.
 
So you've played racing, shooting and sports? Well then, pick up one of the Batman games. Asylum is great and cosy game for a low low price now although City is the big brother.
Very helpfull...
I thought it was a good response to someone that seems bored with gaming in general.
 
Assasins creed from the first to revelations is a very good story .
Red dead redemption is another good one.
All episode of GTA IV.
Skate is fun for doing tricks, customising your player and is fun.
 
As a lot have people have mentioned, Uncharted 3 is a great game. Although Uncharted 1 doesn't have multiplayer and the servers are dead on 2. If you aren't interested in MP that much, I would say Uncharted 2 because the story is so much better than the other two.
 
Uncharted, Killzone, and Bluray. The only reasons that make a PS3 worth owning. Dont even think about Skyrim for PS3. It is broken and Bethesda arent making any real effort to fix it.

Bethesda have released several patches. From what I hear, the PS3 version is a lot better now. Unfortunately, it suffers from the embarrassing water bug, but after they fix that it'll be fine.
