[QUOTE="masshysteria, post: 5065322, member: 16055"] The Uncharted series and the Ratchet & Clank Future series are phenomenal. Since they both had sequels released recently, you should be able to find the originals discounted. I had a blast playing Batman: Arkham Asylum. The combat is based on timed presses to counter or attack. But Batman punches so hard and the counters are so brutal it really makes the combat visceral and fun. My only complaint is the button mashing needed to pry open the vents. If you like Bioware CRPG's Dragon Age Origins is good. Make sure you save often as I found it is easy to quickly get over your head. Otherwise, there's Fallout 3 and Oblivion (both in game of the year editions). Modern fantasy? There's Folklore. I haven't played it, so I'm not sure how it is. Other games I've enjoyed on my PS3 are Borderlands and Mirror's Edge. Borderlands is FPS action rpg (how about that for a mashup?) with a post-apoc setting and twisted humor. I'm waiting for some friends to pick it up so we can play coop.
