Video Games XBox 360 vs. PS3

Silock · 11-21-2012, 02:10 AM

Okay, I just picked up a used PS3 with 2 wireless controllers for $110. I need some game recommendations. I don't like COD, or most fps games. Halo is an exception. I don't play online a lot.

So far, I'm getting FIFA 13 and Gran Turismo 5. Madden is out, as is NCAA 13.

Uncharted series is amazing the first tame, after that i've always ended up selling them. I thought Heavy Rain was horrible, couldn't get into it for some reason, they made a similar one on PS2 if anyone remembers and I thought that was a lot better.

I have never bored of Uncharted. My younger son will play them and need help. When I start helping that is when I get all caught up in it again and can't put it down.

Yeah it's an amazing game for kids, really tests they're knowledge with the puzzles and such. What was you're favorite Uncharted? I thought 2 was amazing and had the best game play although 3 was beautiful and challenging.

Since you mentioned RAC, I HIGHLY reccomend Jak & Daxter HD Collection, not only will you have fun with it but you're son would too and it's an open world platformer made by Naughty Dog, same developers of the Uncharted series. Game is like dirt cheap and comes with 3 games, it's like over 100 hrs of gameplay imo, maybe even more.

Uncharted 2 without question. I even Platinumed that game. Never tried J&D though.

Get the God of War saga. They have a $39.99 bundle that includes 1, 2, 3, and the two handheld games. I played all 5 in sequence and they were great.

I finally picked that up about a week ago for $20 new with a gamestop coupon I got in the mail. So far so good.

If you're a burnout like me, just be warned that there are some platforming sections in a couple of the games that will make you want to throw your controller!

I ran into one already early on in GoW. The twin snakes or whatever those giant things are and then the huge one.

Oh no. That's more of a puzzle/fight. That's MILD by comparison.

There's sections with long, spinning beams, covered with blades. If you stand still, you fall off and have to start over. If you get hit with a blade, you fall off and have to start over. If you get hit by one of the spellcasters on the platform ahead of you that you can't see, you fall off and have to start over. If you jump slightly wrong because the angles are ****ed up and you can't rotate the camera, you fall off and have to start over.

Why you no handle platformers?

I don't think it's the platforming sections that piss me off, more so the puzzles.

The puzzles were easy for me. Never spent more than 5 minutes on any of them that I can think of.

Now, the vertical, spinning pillars covered with blades? I spent almost as much time beating that section as I did the ENTIRE REST OF THE GAME COMBINED.
