i'm new to the ps3 what games do you recomend?

Well I played Assasin's Creed on PS3 and it's a really good game. I liked Resistance:Fall of Man too, shooter:).Ohh and Heavenly Sword too, another great game:).
Hope you will enjoy one of this games..:)

I think a MUST play for any PS3 owner that likes shooter is RESISTANCE: FALL OF MAN, if for no other reason than to be prepared for the sequel that will be coming out. Resistance 2 is going to be a HUGE game!

I personally have never owned a Playstation 2 or a Playstation 3 but my brother currently owns both and he loves them,and from what he has told me I would suggest any of the Final Fantasy games because he loves those,and I would also suggest any of the Metal Gear Solid games because he also loves those,and I would also suggest Devil May Cry 3 because he said that game is awesome and has a lot of different weapons you can use.

Good games on the PS3 include Resistance for shooters, Metal Gear Solid 4, Assassin's Creed, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted for action and adventure type of games. GT5: Prologue for racing...And the big titles I think will be out around 2009 and 2010. The PS3 is still fresh, having so many untaped potential...But eventually it will rule again. I think Eternal Sonata will be released this August or September, and that is one good RPG.

On the PS2, there are many RPGs to choose from, most of which are niche games. I will recommend that you try out Baroque, the Persona 3, the Digital Devil Saga series(even if I hate it personally because of the demonic theme it still has good RPG elements), other stuffs from Atlus, and then Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy X, X-2 and XII(although game mechanics are kind of different), Radiata Stories, Star Ocean 3 and Valkyrie Profile 2, and Dragon Quest, all from Square Enix. There are still others not mention, but all of them are worth trying. hmm...Mana Khemia. And Atelier Iris if you want strategy RPGs. Hope I helped.
