Just got the PS3 - What have I missed?

Post by h8b1llg8ts »

Finally, my wife found one and gave me a nice early birthday present last night. I have been holding off for the right price and hoped for BC being brought back. But, obviously, have given up on that idea and will keep my PS2 hooked up for the time being.

I took the liberty and picked up a couple cheap games last night on my own; Resistance, Motorstorm, and Uncharted 1. Of course, my daughter Mileena made me buy Mortal Kombat II and I also picked up Flower because of the reviews.

What I'm looking for is any tid bits that might bring out the potential of this system. I have a PSP and tried Remote Play last night to no avail. I could not connect either through the internet or private option. I don't know what steps I'm missing.

Also, any exclusive games for both the PS3 and PS3 store. Since, most of my crossed platform purchases are for the Xbox 360.

Here's a list of games I have on my list:

Eye of Judgment
God of War 3
Heavenly Sword
Heavy Rain
inFamous
Killzone 2
Lair
LittleBigPlanet GOTY
MAG
Motorstorm Pacific
Ratchet (all three)
Resistance 2 CE
Time Crisis 4
Uncharted
Warhawk

Also, how do I get to play Metal Gear Online? How do you buy the game only?

IIRC, Metal Gear Online is still in beta process, you get the code from buying MGS 4:SoL.

Demon's Souls!

It's a few months off, but 3d dot game heroes looks promising too

Shatter is awesome. Like a cross between breakout and a sh'mup.

Resistance 2
Metal Gear Solid 4 (includes MetalGearOnline)
Little Big Planet
Uncharted 1&2
Demon's Souls
Heavy Rain
