Please recommend me a PS3 game I can get into.

Hahaha.

After downloading the demos I was sitting on things for a while - but I actually went into a shop recently and was pleasantly surprised. I got Burnout Paradise, LittleBigPlanet and Soul Calibur whatever - all used, for less than what I would have paid online. And despite a none-too-promising demo, I also got Ninja Gaiden Sigma as it was really cheap also in the Used section.

The only game I paid full price for was MGS4 - however, when I realised that they would also buy games off me, I bought MGS when I went back to the shop to part-exchange my barely used copies of Prototype, Mirror's Edge and Heavenly Sword - so I ended up paying comparatively little in all.

Burnout Paradise is... well, I liked the demo but I'm not actually feeling it that much once I've got the full product. Perhaps it needs to grow on me. I picked up two copies to try network play on here, will see how that goes.

Soul Calibur has actually been a pretty good game, and probably the best purchase in terms of actually-being-used-time to while away the minutes with almost anyone, and I guess the most 'traditionally console' of the games I've bought. More of this with cute characters (with the SO) or gratuitous bouncing boobies and gratuitous blood & guts (with the guys) would be good.

I've yet to open MGS4 or LBP, no time yet.

As for other potential recommendations, I'd be looking for things which I can only get on a console - I have COD, etc and Orange Box on the PC and most of the RTS / shooter games of the ilk...

...for I have not one, but two Core i7 965 PCs with dual GTX 295's. Which I am, of course, enjoying twice as much as someone with one Core i7 965 with dual GTX 295's
