Game Recommendations

Here is a little of my gaming background, seeing as I am a fairly infrequent visitor to this board.

I'm not a huge gamer. The game I spend most time on is FIFA, but after rediscovering online gameplay last year (and spending far too much time on it) this year's versions seems a little stale.

Aside from FIFA, I have all Call of Dutys since Modern Warfare, and although that game was brilliant, the rest have been bought out of tradition more than anything and I have spent less and less time on each game. I also have Battlefield Bad Company 1 and 2 and Battlefield three. Although all three were brilliant, especially the most recent two, I do not have the time to get stuck into the online gameplay. Resistance 1 and 2 are the other FPS games I own and although both had decent campaigns the online was crap.

I do own Burnout Paradise and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and although I had hours of fun on the former, the latter was far too rigid and felt more like Gran Turismo than NFS. Driving games will never be as good as the original Most Wanted!

I rarely venture outside of sports and FPS games, despite the fact that when I do it is nearly always great! These are the games I have played:

All Assassin's Creeds - Brilliant series, stagnating a bit but hopefully will be reinvigorated by a new character in the next game.
Dead Space 2 - I am a real pu$$y when it comes to horror films and games, but I found it brilliant.
Saint's Row the Third - One of the best games I own. So much fun to be had.
GTA IV - I didn't really appreciate it when I played it, but it is a masterpiece. 'The Godfather' of video games.
Portal 2 - Good fun, but didn't find it very challenging.
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record - The worst game I have bought. Fun for about an hour, then the novelty wears off.

Back to the point, I tend to buy the FIFAs and CODs to keep up with them, and miss out on the other gems. Can anyone recommend any PS3 games to get? Not too fussed about genre, although sports games and FPS games seem to have lost their impact on me.

I have my eye on Uncharted 2 which looks like a blast.

Such a class game. GTA with the pesky reality removed.

Borderlands as well i think may be a good shout for you, i initially ignored it but is a great game and if u like that can grab the 2nd which is even better.

Funny one i also found on the cheap and was surprised is Lara Craft and the guardian of light.

As above another couple of thumbs up for Red Dead Redemption - imo prob the best single player game i have played. And the batman games as well.

Missing all these games has started to work to my advantage: I am saving a fortune by buying them now!

Games I'd recommend:

Uncharted series
Batman Arkham games
Bulletstorm (I know you weren't looking for FPS but maybe with the score based mechanics you might make an exception)
Mass Effects
Little Big Planet
Red Dead Redemption
GTA IV

Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption are both excellent calls.

See also Fallout 3, God of War 3 and Demon Souls (although it will make you cry).

Rage was pretty good, just the ending is a bit of anti-climax.

Binary Domain is well worth a tenner IMO, fun game

I really loved Need For Speed The Run too, prob my fav 1player racing game so far, great idea to do a gumball style race, although a lot hated it, is a marmite game

I recommend demon souls first and if you enjoyed that you should get the spiritual successor which is dark souls.

Well done you.

I may get it at some point but rarely get to play games these days.
