Battlefield franchise (online fps)
I don't find most online shooters to be very interesting, but Battlefield is one of my favorite games because of all the different tactics available to the player, and the emphasis on teamwork. Tons of vehicles, such as tanks, helicopters, and boats, which can be customized. The guns can be equipped with up to four different items, such as tons of scopes, barrels, etc. Lots of different gadgets which allow for very different tactics, such as remote-detonated C4, defibrillators, motion sensors, robots, etc.
Dead Nation (twin-stick shooter)
A zombie game that can be downloaded on the PS3. Tons of upgrades, extremely smooth controls, great gadgets, online co-op, and really smart level design make Dead Nation of the best zombie shooters ever made. Every aspect of this game is well thought out, and I highly suggest it to anyone who wants to shoot zombies. The multiple difficulty levels makes the game very accessible to everyone.
Devil May Cry 3 (action)
I did not like the story, but the action is insane. The various weapons and four+two fighting styles allows for very different tactics to handle rough levels. The fighting is really deep, and the Dante Must Die difficulty will challenge even seasoned players.
Fallout 3 (action rpg)
We've all played this.
Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly (action horror adventure)
You and your mildly disabled sister find yourselves in a haunted village. Your only weapon is a camera that damages ghosts when you take pictures of them. Super fast load times, tons of upgrades, tons of unlockables, extremely creepy story, great graphics, and really fun puzzles. I have played a lot of horror games, and this one is definitely my favorite. It is just so awesome.
R-Type Final (side-scrolling shooter)
99 unlockable ships (for a total of 102) is really cool, but what I love about this game is the level design. It has bizarre angles, awesome structures and bosses, and more hidden levels than regular levels, some of which are really crazy.
Samurai Warriors 2 (action with bonus board game)
Choose one of 26 warriors, each with his/her own move set, and kill thousands of men. There's character development and new weapons you can find. It is just mindless mass killing. So much fun. It also includes a board game that is up to four players, named Sugoroku.
Savage Moon (real-time strategy)
A 3D tower defense game. Awesome towers, decent tower tree, and great controls. Can be downloaded from the PS3 store.
Skyrim (action rpg)
Yep.
We Love Katamari (?????)
You have a sticky ball that you roll around and pick things up. You begin small, so picking up pencils can be difficult, but you get bigger and bigger, and eventually you are picking up buildings, mountains, states, planets, and you win by rolling up the Sun. Watching people run and scream from you as you roll toward them is great. There are lots of unlockables, but they don't do very much, but that is OK, because the game is super fun and super addicting.
These are not very detailed, but it's a little after 4am, and I should be getting to bed. If anyone wants any extra info on any of these games, just ask.
