So I'm getting a PS3 today and I need some games for it.

I haven't played a playstation since the PS1, so I'll be new to just about any PS3 game.

So that people can give an idea of what types of games I like, I like FPS games, RPG, and Action Adventure games.

You will -blam!- bricks when you see what game it is! =)

Halo and gears of war.

I know it's not out yet, but Dust 514 is looking amazingly promising.

"If practice makes perfect" and 'nobody's perfect,' then what's the point of practice?"

If you prefer multiplayer over singleplayer then don't get MGS4.

I like that interactive movie, but they shutdown it's multiplayer.

Get Rage, Doom I and Doom II.

Demon's Souls is a must-play.

Uncharted 2 and 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, Valkyria Chronicles and the Yakuza games are good as well. Wipeout HD (+Fury Expansion) and Tokyo Jungle are probably the best PSN games, so they're worth a look too.

If you've never played them, definitely get the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection and Okami HD.

I've heard this game is great, but I don't really understand what the concept is.

I completely disagree.

However, this is absolutely correct.

Also, get Journey: Collector's Edition.

Journey?

Resistance 3 and Killzone 3 is pretty good.
Playstation All-Star is also pretty decent, from what I've heard

I also want to recommend another game, but I bet almost everyone here won't be able to enjoy it at all.

I've heard this game is great, but I don't really understand what the concept is.

Which one specifically?

Ico is an okay game, it's nothing I would rush out to buy though. It shows its age and it's not necessarily the most fun game to play. Has a nice atmosphere to it though, and some unique ideas. Shadow of the Colossus is the real star of the Collection, in my opinion. The game is composed of just boss battles, the bosses are usually enormous monsters that you must climb and find the secret to defeating it. It's a lot of fun and it's got a great atmosphere and soundtrack. The HD version also fixes the biggest problem with the original, the framerate. So unless you play in 3D, it runs almost perfectly.

Okami is basically a Zelda clone, but it has a game mechanic called the celestial brush which lets you draw certain things to perform different moves and techniques. It has a ton of content (it's more like three games than a single game), a great story, and an awesome art style. I think it's better than any 3D Zelda myself, but I'm probably in a minority there. The actual combat isn't all that deep, but it's pretty varied with all of the different enemies you fight as well as all of the different weapons and powers you earn.

And if you're into turn-based JRPGs, then Persona 3 FES is on PSN for like $10 and it's really good as well.

Killzone, Resistance, and buy the Jak & Daxter Collection from the PSN store.

don't get any multi-platform games if you have an xbox, they xbox runs them better as the PS3 versions are ports (for example, Skyrim)

Even Borderlands 2? Because I was at a friends house while he was playing Borderlands 2, and it looked like it had a significantly higher frame rate.

Maybe, you should at least check out comparisons first though, before you buy the game.
also Battlefield is ported from Pc so that should run better on PS3 than xbox.
