I wouldn't buy a PS3 unless it was the year 2033 and it was dirt cheap and I already had picked up retro consoles like the Wii and 360 first. But having said that, if somebody GAVE me a PS3 and said "you have to keep it," then the games I would get for myself would be:

3D Dot Game Hero - definitely. It's Atlus! It's "retro" yet fresh. It looks beautiful. It would be my first PS3 purchase without question.

Street Fighter IV - though I'm not CRAZY about 3D fighters, I am a fan of the series so this would beg for me to try it.

Final Fantasy XIII - though I'm not CRAZY about 3D RPG's, I am a fan of the series so this would beg for me to try it.

NBA2k11 - 11 is out now right? If not, then 10. And NBA 2k is must-own for any console.

Uncharted 2 definitely. Easily one of the best modern games i've played in as long as I can remember. Great story, production, and most of all the gameplay is entirely fun. It has just the right amount of everything. I played that before playing Uncharted 1 as like you, I was late to arrive on the ps3 bandwagon. After enjoying UC 2 so much, I went back and bought the first one and although still great, just wasn't the masterpiece that was 2.

he said "Aside from a war themed fps..." Isn't Uncharted 2 a war themed FPS? (I might be wrong, I'm really not familiar.)

No it's not a war fps.

First of all it's third person.

And i'd call it a Third Person Action/Adventure with some combat involved

I'm not really sure about Uncharted 2. The whole thing just lacked any real appeal to me. The main character being the archetypal action movie hero, the whole thing looking like a generic action flick. However, I keep hearing people say it's such an amazing game, so now I feel like I have to try it, if only to decide for myself whether or not it's as great as everyone says.

But in 2033 we'll all be living in the rail tunnels under Moscow, defending ourselves from the Nosalies. At least, those of us who survived.

Post In (you play an awol postman hell bent on getting revenge for being sacked for posting a turd through somebody's letter box, he deserved it. Said to be a spiritual successor to Postal but without Gary Coleman)
The Correct (A strange Japanese education title for learning English, most of the enjoyment comes from the engrish though)
Forum (a school debating game where you argue your view to earn points, the person who turns the most people to his view gets a democracy bonus. Has sandbox elements where you can form relationships and use your friends to skew the results in the classroom. Think Bully meets debate class.)
I'll admit, pretty funny. My bad, apologies.

There's being wrong and there's calling Modern Warfare a platformer.
