    I like how 90% of this list is copy and pasted from the Xbox 360 buyers guide list. Maybe it would have been better to filter off the multi-platform titles into a separate list so the console specific articles could focus more on the exclusives.

    @Odin: why would you not include multiplatform games in a list meant to be used as a guide for whether or not to purchase a title as a present?

    Does the fact that a game plays on a system you don't own somehow impact the enjoyment you derive from playing it on a system you do own?

    It was more from an organisational point of view rather than a gaming(?) view. I mean reading this after reading the 360 article was just like trying to play spot the difference.

    Not sure why Fallout DLC got three entries when there are a bunch of no-brainer games that could have been listed.

    I bet I'm going to echo a lot of other people and go where is...

    Demons Soul's
    -- Perfect gift for any "old school" dungeon crawler fan.

    Blazblue
    -- For any Vs action fan.

    Street Fighter 4
    -- For old and new fans of SF.

    Resident Evil 5
    -- For your multiplayer survial needs.

    God of War Collection
    -- For those who missed out on the originals, or just lost the discs.

    Batman: Arkham Asylum
    -- For the Batman fan, probably the best Batman game ever.

    All came out this year... If anything I would have expected to have KZ2, Demon's Souls, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 on there........... Unless there's a part two to this.

    Don't know what the hell is wrong with me, but Demon's Souls is the game I've enjoyed the most this year, and possibly on my PS3. Close second, if not a tie, is SF4 (which I believe should be on the list btw).

    I can see why Uncharted 2 is a superior cinematic experience, but I guess Miyamoto is right in that gameplay wins all. Or maybe I'm too much of an old school gamer.

    Of course, Uncharted 2 is a must-have. Got MW2 a week after release, I've barely touched it (though my friends seem to love it) so I don't really know.

    Fifa 10 is also an absolute must-have for football fans.

    Another game I'm sad to not have seen here is RE5. One of the most visceral co-op experiences out there. So it's not a "good" RE game, so what? It's a good game on its own, and definitely worth owning. Unless you want to wait for the re-release next year.

    Edit: Like many pointed out, Killzone 2 also deserves to be up there moreso than many titles imo.

    Ahh, this is very good to see, as I was thinking of buying a PS3 Slim for this holiday season.

    I plan to market it to my family as a "HOME ENTERTAINMENT DEVICE" in order to cover funds. :P

    Does anybody else out there have any other GOOD recommendations (in your opinion) for the PS3 in case of PSN titles, classic PS1 games, and PS3 games?

    @(Starman) Starman: I'd recommend Wipeout if you like racing games, Pixeljunk Monsters if you're a tower defense fan, Stardust HD for those top down shooter fans.

    For PS1, theres a few good RPGs, Wild Arms, FF7.. there are some good action games like Resident Evil 2. Those are what I've picked up anyway.

    I would add Valkryia Chronicles, Uncharted, Resistance series, Killzone to the list of PS3 games as well.

    @(Starman) Starman: PS3

    -Demon's Souls.
    But only if you're hardcore. And I mean HARDCORE!

    -Metal Gear Solid 4 (You can get 1, 2, and 3 for $30 at Gamestop)

    -Grand Theft Auto IV (My favourite game on Next-Gen Platforms and probably of all time)

    -LittleBigPlanet

    -Oblivion: GOTY This will keep you entertained for months!

    -Resident Evil 5, for some reason it didn't get AAA reviews (around 8.7) but I liked it and you don't need to have played the previous ones. NOTE: It is not scary at all. Buy it as an action game. If you're looking for a horror game you won't find it here.

    -Ninja Gaiden Sigma, You could find it for $20 and its a pretty good game. Some people say its very hard. It is at times, but if its too much just die 3 times and the difficulty will lower.

    PSN

    -Wipeout HD + FURY expansion pack, By far in my opinion the best PSN Game. You can download the demo if you're not sure.

    PSone

    -Final Fantasy VII

    -Metal Gear Solid (But buy all 3 at Gamestop and it comes out to the same price.)

    -Silent Hill, this is real Horror.

    @(Starman) Starman: Flower is 4.99 on PSN right now. if you like weird innovative games that arent kind of games but still are, get it. It's beautiful.

    If you have a 360 and played Geometry Wars, get Super Stardust HD. For my money, it's better.

    Wipeout HD is my favorite racing game apart from Mario Kart EVER.

    Uncharted 2 goes without saying. If you dont like it, youre an inhuman monster with no heart or soul. Or you just have bad taste in games, whatever.
    Might as well get Uncharted 1 while youre at it.

    Every PS3 owner should have Little Big Planet. if you like creating things, youll find it very enjoyable, the level and character editor is great and easy to use. Some of the user created levels are amazing. If you like just platforming, it'll probably only entertain you for a few weeks.

    If youre not tied to Call of Duty by a noose, try Killzone 2. It has a fun singleplayer and a great multiplayer. To me it's the alternative to COD. If you LOVE CoD and you think its a 1000 better than halo, half Life, Team Fortress, Bioshock, Unreal Tournament put together, and every other FPS in existence.. youll probably hate the way KZ2 plays.

    PSN has FF7, FFT, MGS1, RE1, RE2, Um Jammer Lammy, Castlevania: SOTN, and tons more PS1 classics. I just named the ones I have.

    I was hoping for it to succeed, but one of the folks expecting it to fail.
    I was one of the people who bought Eye of Judgment, and the game struggled to even read the cards correctly on a set placemat. Expecting it to react realistically would have been absurd.
    Of course, I don't expect any better from Natal, as it still suffers from that "real world" problem. #eyepet

    @Ad-hominem: Then again, I remember a lot of people being wary of the Wii and its technology when it was first announced.

    I know, I know, they're entirely different projects in terms of scope and depth, but there's still room to be pleasantly surprised.

    That said, emotiv's headset dealy has been described by various sources I generally trust as either good or bad, so the jury's still out on that one.

    I don't think non-traditional gaming is a necessity yet, but pushing the boundaries past the virtual-reality shooter of 1995 county fairs is a welcome change. #eyepet

    Yeah, it's what I feared. Not just the technical problems, but also the absence of design. Media Molecule, Insomniac or Naughty Dog (teams that know how to make good platforming games). It's a half-baked tech demo, and its potential will probably never be fully achieved as SCE will file this under "Big Failures."

    There is just no potential interest in camera yet (or market), but for kids this will be a nice present.

    @Golgari: I agree 100%, but (well I guess 99%) I think everyone should still expect quality from the game, even if it's targeted at children. If they will be frustrated by the technical problems or if they will get bored after one hour of doing the same things, then it was not ready to be sold.

    But then again, who can predict how a child will react? Maybe they will love it all the way after all. #eyepet
