Good timing! The first round of the ps3 greatest hits collection came out today. All titles are $30 and they include:
- Warhawk - Never played it but I've heard good things.
- MotorStorm - Really fun arcade racer. Excellent crash physics
- Resistance: Fall of Man - Incredible story and a solid shooter. Sequel is out in the fall.
- Call of Duty 3: ummmm, don't buy this. If you want a war shooter, get Call of Duty 4. A little bit more money but absolutely worth it
- Need for Speed Carbon - I know nothing of this game. Ratings averaged out to be around 77%
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: if you like RPG's apparently this one is incredible. Not my kind of thing but many people swear by it
- Ninja Gaiden Sigma: Crazy ninja action. Again, critically it's been rated highly. Personally it's too hard and frustrating for me.
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas: I really liked this game. It had its issues, but I found it to be really fun.
- Assassin's Creed: Real love it or hate it experience. Personally I really enjoyed it.
If I had to pick out of that list I'd say get Resistance and Motorstorm. Personal opinion only.
Other notables that are still full price:
Call of Duty 4: As mentioned above, the best online experience on the system in my opinion
NHL 09: Not out until September 9th, but keep it on your radar.
Uncharted: Modern Indiana Jones type adventure game ... HIGHLY recommended
PSN Games ($5-$10)
Pain: $5 for this week only. A personal favorite of mine. The goal is to launch a character from a giant sling-shot into a downtown area and cause as much pain to the character as possible. I find it hilarious, other don't seem to know what to do with it. There's a mode where you throw mimes through panes of glass. If that appeals to you I suggest you give it a thought.
Super Star Dust HD: The game isn't nearly as stupid as the name. Kinda like asteroids ... on crack
My call? Get your online connection going and download demos of some of the games above to see if you like them.
