    Christmas is coming up... and I'm making a list

    Dear Pavilion, you're wonderful at recommending games and I'm going to try (again) to get a PS3 for Christmas. Last year, I had pretty much decided on what I wanted... But now? I have no idea what games to ask for.

    What are the essential PS3 games to get? I'd appreciate any help you can offer.

      What about the first Uncharted? Is there no connection between plots? Because last year I had my sights on the first one.

          There's a connection with a character but I've never played the first one so I don't know what it is 8)

            If you're brave enough to face the deadly Black Friday crowds Wal-Mart is doing a doorbuster of PS3 with free InFamous, Arkham Asylum, and Dark Knight Blu-Ray.

              I'm small, I'm frail, and I will be trampled.

              But thank you for pointing that out, Chuck.

                Well if last year is any indication chances are they'll have a slightly less awesome deal available at Walmart.com the Monday after. For instance, last year's 360 doorbuster was a 360 + free Guitar Hero 3 and wireless guitar. Their cyber monday deal added GH World Tour for $50 more. When I got it it was actually the Black Friday boxed bundle with GHWT seperate so I think it's their way of clearing out the leftovers from those out in the middle of nowhere Walmarts.

                  Ratchet & Clank: CiT is awesome, and if you dont already have it, Assassins Creed 2 is better than the first game by leaps and bounds.

                      PixelJunk Eden's good in casual doses, too.

                      Oh, and Peggle. ALWAYS Peggle.

                        Demon's Souls
                        Valkyria Chronicles
                        Uncharted 2
                        BlazBlue (if you like 2D fighting games)
                        Sacred 2 (if you like Diablo-style action-RPGs with a ton of customization)
                        LittleBigPlanet (I'm kinda meh about it, but for what it is, it's good...GOTY edition is out, too)
                        Dragon Age: Origins (not a PS3 exclusive, but a really good [story/character-wise; graphics are lacking] action/tactical RPG from BioWare)


                        As for downloadable games from the PSN...

                        Flower
                        PixelJunk Eden (trippy "platformer")
                        PixelJunk Monsters (tower defense that ramps up the difficulty VERY quickly)
                        PixelJunk Shooter (it's not out yet, but I can't see it being bad)
                        flOw
                        Everyday Shooter
                        Savage Moon (tower defense that's easier than PJ Monsters, and is better-looking to boot...but that depends on your frame of reference)
                        Fat Princess (cartoony but gory online multiplayer capture the flag, or in this case, capture the fat princess)
                        Shatter (the best take on the Breakout formula in at least a decade)
                        Lumines Supernova (if you've not played this game yet...this is the best version out there...graphically stunning [for the type of game it is])
                        Trash Panic (a quirky take on the Tetris-style genre)

                          Can't think of any more.

                            Heavenly Sword. It's a solid hack n'slash with cut scenes that'll blow your mind (directed by Sméagol/Gollum).


                            I like it better than God of War, even if it's not as bloody.

                              That list is just about perfect.

                              I'd pass on Sacred 2 and pick up Dragon Age: Origins, it does everything Sacred 2 is doing, but better, unless you're looking for a co-op experience. Best Buy is selling Mirror's Edge new for $20 and MGS4 new for $30. Also, Fallout 3 GOTY edition is out and has 5 expansions included. That's a lot of bang for your buck if you haven't played it yet.
                              So you're a fish out of water...
