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.

I prefer a thorough guide over a "for more gifts options, look into this other guide we made.

(And to check if Katamari was on here).

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.

Street Fighter 4?
Resident Evil 5?
Demon's Souls?
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2?
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.

Well ... true :(

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.

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?

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.

-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.

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.

Also, if you like movies but have never seen a blu ray film.. go get Wall-E or the Dark Knight and be amazed.

McWhertor, I sentence you to fifty lashes with a wet noodle, to be executed by a fat chick with a tramp stamp wearing a super woman costume.

How about a PS3 so they can raid all the cheap games on the market for the next year?
---
N+ (sure it's been out years but it's still one of the best games on the market and it never gets coverage)
Street Fighter IV was defo one of the better ones missing from the list. Other than that, I am struggling.
Still though, that's a rather impressive list of games (providing you pay out for xbox live, otherwise most of them are gonna be a big let down)
It's just a shame so many got delayed like Splinter Cell, man I can't wait for that game.

Either way, it was a joke but if it wasn't, why do you think console sales are at their highest across the Christmas period?
Must be a bunch of people buying it for themselves right?

Still have a little tough time believing most people's partners and parents can spend 300+ dollars on a gift for anyone. But that's just cause I lack the funds to be most people.

It also reminded me I need to get my 360 repaired and pick up KOF.

PC has no games at all
Not a single one

speaking of which, where the hell is BlazBlue?

Thankfully, I still have BlazBlue for comfort. #thekingoffightersxii
