PS3: What Are The Standout Games?

I have heard nothing but bad things about the BTTF game (even from fans of the movies like myself). I also have heard generally negative opinions of MMOs on the PS3...just surprised to see these on your list!

Whoever told you the BTTF games were bad, just plain doesn't like BTTF or simply can't stand point-and-click games. I just played part of Episode 1 (which the entire episode is free to download, BTW).

This was one of the coolest point-and-click games I've ever played! And as a fan of the movie, I was in heaven. This was the game that BTTF had always deserved. It perfectly captures the spirit of the movies. It's definetly a labor of love from the developers. The characters are spot on. The voices are spot on. The locations are spot on. Down to every last detail they got the feel and details of the movie PERFECTLY. And the production value, my god, they spared no expense. The sound effects, the soundtrack, the smooth graphics, and Michael J. Fox & Christopher Lloyd themselves!

But then I'm like a BTTF superfan or something. I've seen those movies like 50 times over and never get sick of them. So it definetly appealed to me a lot more than the average gamer.

The game has gotten mixed reviews, according to metacritic: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/back- ... about-time

I played a game called Folklore the other day, it was really good. I didn't play long, about an hour, but it was fun. Might be fun to look into.

The Uncharted series is the first thing that pops into my head when I think of excellent PS3 exclusives.

I agree if you own a PS3 and remotely enjoyed watching Indiana Jones you MUST play these games. Naughty Dog has gotten the best voice actors in the business giving the characters a very real feel. All in all the 2nd one in particular is one of the best paced action games I can think of.

If you own a PS3 at LEAST give these a rent.

Some other decent PS3 games would be the inFamous series, The Sly Collection has got some fun platforming especially if you missed them on the PS2. Dead Space is phenomenal (Get past Chapter 4 before you make up your mind, the first bit is dry, but sets the tone quite well). As mentioned before the God of War series (They now have EVERY GoW game on PS3 including the HD versions of the PS2/PSP games) Killzone is worth a rent if you enjoy FPS's. Shadows of the Damned is great if you think you'd enjoy a weird/vulgar Resident Evil.

Hope it helped.

[quote="BurningDoom"]First of all, I don't own an HD-TV, so the Blu-Ray aspect of it really doesn't influence me one way or the other. I'm pretty much only concerned with the games.

Killzone 2 & 3 are incredible. Most graphically-impressive FPS's I've ever seen
