And this is another problem I'm having. By Googling "top Ps3 games" etc, the lists are coming up with loads of FPSs and games like Uncharted etc, that no one here has mentioned. Friends have told me to get the Mass Effect series too? Are these games just over-hyped shallow games? Or are they really as amazing as people say?
Most of it is just subjective, and that doesn't always get communicated well in topics like this.
Uncharted, for my money, is a fun series, the second one particularly. If there's a supply issue, keep in mind that the first two games were rereleased in a twin pack, so that might be what the store has.
Similarly, I've enjoyed the Mass Effect games a lot and would recommend 'em.
Actually, which reminds me, is Heavy Rain any good?
It's...interesting, at least. The game is predominately a long series of quicktime events that's sewn together in such a way that you can fail almost all of them and the game keeps going. Which is great, unless you actually wanted to succeed in order to see the other paths through the game (you can reload/etc, but there's no integrated mechanic to retry). I would rather there be a conscious choice determining a lot more of it.
Are there any Action/Adventure games that think outside the box (like Fahrenheit/ Indigo Prophecy)?
Had you not already mentioned Catherine I'd recommend that - not the same style exactly, but in that vein.
If you're really not up on modern gaming at all, you might also consider Portal 2, Assassin's Creed 2, or one of the many other highly rated, best selling series. MGS4 if you played the earlier ones. Nice thing about getting a PS3 now is that so many titles are reduced in price and/or on greatest hits, so it's not as big a deal to give something a whirl. Also remember that the modern generation has downloadable demos
