Try the demo. Everyone suggested it to me too when I got my PS3 and was unsure what was going to appeal to me. It didn't click. Just check out what games have demos to download if you have broadband. :)

I was very underwhelmed by Uncharted 2. It doesn't suck, but it is nowhere even remotely close to deserving all the hype it got

Batman Arkham Asylum is worth trying out if you're into beat'em up action mixed with stealth and just a dash of Metroid. The PS 3 version is the best one, both in play control and content(Joker is exclusive to the PS3 version)

I loved Uncharted 2's single-player, but I didn't (and probably won't) play through it a second time.

The multiplayer, on the other hand, was about 90% of the reason I got the game. I love the multiplayer. It's tons of fun. I mean, nothing comes close to the thrill of sneaking up on someone and cracking their neck, or kicking someone in the face as they're hanging off of a ledge, or tossing someone off a ledge as you hang off of it.

Considering they didn't even show it at E3, you'll be waiting until Q4 2011 at this rate. I doubt that GT5 is even coming out this year.

They didn't show it at E3 because they didn't show anything at E3, especially not anything of Japanese origin.

Unless we don't see Last Guardian at Tokyo Game Show, I'm pretty sure it's on track.

Yeah that's true. Sony's conference was a travesty.

A travesty in 3D!
