I don't have a huge collection, only:
MLB The Show 2007 (hardly play it)
Resistance: Fall of Man (beat it)
Rainbow 6: Vegas (beat it)
Oblivion (lost interest)
Grand Theft Auto (recently beat the story, even though Game Progress shows at 65%)

Games I wouldn't mind owning:
Assassin's Creed
Metal Gear Solid 4
Grand Turismo Prolonge
MLB (not the show)

what do you recommend? I need something to keep me busy until Fall or whenever the new releases come out. Thanks

What about Rainbox Six: Vegas 2?

Rent Assassin's Creed. Rent Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

Oh, i forgot to mention Vegas 2.
I've read mixed reviews on Assassin's Creed. I'm not much of a renter either.

Sucks that you already bought Resistance...

Just saw the official announcement for PS3 "Greatest Hits". Included are:

Resistance, MototorStorm, Warhawk, Call of Duty 3, Fight Night, Need for Speed Carbon, Rainbow Six Vegas, Asassin's Creed, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma

I'll definately pick up Resistance and Ninja Gaiden Sigma. You could use MGS4 (20 hours first run), Devil May Cry 4 (15 hours-ish) and Uncharted (8 hours). Assassin's Creed maybe, probably more a rental.


Edit: Couldn't live with "Greatist".

Uncharted is great. Heavenly Sword is pretty good. Burnout Paradise is a lot of fun with tons of replay value.

Devil May Cry 4? I'm playing it right now and think it's quite fun.

Has OP played MGS1,2, and 3? If so, get MGS4.

If not, get the MGS: Essential Collection for $29.99. It is AWESOME!

You played MGS4 without playing any other MGS before? : 0

How did you even understand any of the Patriot stuff?

I did not have to understand the Patriot Stuff to enjoy the game.
Just figured out the back plot along the way.

I did not really buy the PS3 for MGS4. I just wanted one that was BC with my
PS2 games. I started playing MGS4 just because it was there.

Okay

Assassin Creed : play on a PC :! way better... I played it on the 360 for a 1hr and i thought it was crap and then i played on pc and was thinking it as err and then when few hrs in and i was hooked.

MGS 4 : Buy it now

GTP :! err ... that series has becoming a joke because the dev has gone crazy into making the ultimate racing game.

MLB : NO :!

MGS4 was my first MGS game too. Knowing the back story would have been nice, but it wasn't necessary to enjoy the game.

I have, but that was back in the day and I'm not entirely familiar with the story and plot anymore.

Great feedback guys.

I personally didn't like Assassins Creed too much. It would be worth a rent though.

CoD4 - Great online play. Haven't played much of the story mode.
Heavenly Sword - Pretty good hack and slash.
Warhawk - Was fun when I played (was at cousins playing).
Vegas 2 - I've played it on PC (3 of us) and it was a blast.
