If your one of the people who haven't bought this game already then what are you waiting for! The game follows old snake and his revenge towards Liquid. The game is the most amazing one in the franchise and delivers everything that it promised. The rumors about the long cut scenes and installs are true, BUT cut scenes can be skipped and installs are only 2 or 3 minutes long so i it isn't a huge problem. If your new to the game then you can catch up with the database available now on PSN for free. The game does come with Metal Gear Online which is great, and if you have played the beta the game has been improved. This is a MUST buy if you have the PS3.
What's great about it: Most, if not, everything in the game.
What's not so great: Cut scenes are long and too many installs but none are a BIG problem.

If you have seen the trailers to this game then you know how great it looks. This installment of the game seems to fully use the ps3's horsepower as much as it can. The graphics are amazingly detailed. With so much space on the disk, Square-enix developed a new fighting style on the game which catches every single movement that the character makes. Although this is just one of the two games that Square-enix is making for the ps3, versus is being developed by the same people that made kingdom hearts and final fantasy VII: Advent Children so we can expect to see more in this version than the other final fantasy. Both of the games are said to be set in the same universe but happening at different times. The pink haired character from the other final fantasy installment seems to look like Yuna from Final Fantasy X and X-2 but she could be someone else. Both games seem to be great so we can expect to see more of these games soon and hopefully there will be some sort of limited edition that comes with both games and more, so be on your toes fanboys.
What's great about it: Amazing use of the ps3's horsepower, new fighting system, 1 of 2 final fantasy games to come out in the same month
They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.

What maybe the most anticipated game of 2008 has finally arrived. The game uses the wii mote and the game cube controller. The Wii mote does get taking use to but you will learn fast. The game has a TONE of unlockables and will keep you busy for days maybe even weeks. There are new stages and new characters for you to explore. You don't have to go through challenges to find the specific player that you want to play with, you can try the adventure mode which is a lot more faster. You can play with up to four players on of offline but its really hard to tell with such a great game. The combat style hasn't really changed but there is a smash orb which will unleash a characters final attack. This is everything that melee was jammed into an even greater game that will keep you satisfied for a long time.

If you bought this game when it first came out then you know how good it is. The gameplay is fantastic and so is the shooting. The weapons in this game are amazing when you use them. Though you will die a lot of times throughout the game which can get really annoying. This little problem isnt really a big deal and you will quickly get over it when you start getting into it. The game is still one of the best for the ps3 and it was one of the first to come out. This is one of the GREATEST games still to date.

When you play Heavenly Sword you will know how great the game plays, feels, and looks. The creators really put in a lot of detail with this game. The combat system plays really well with the six-axis controller. Of course when there is a good game like this there is a down fall. THIS GAME IS TOO SHORT. I give the gameplay about 5 hours of play. The game is good though. You can play as many times and it will still amaze you. Overall there is some good in this game.
What's great about it: amazing detail, nice gameplay, great graphics

If you have already seen the great gameplay then you know what you are missing. The graphics are amazing and its has new upgrading system. The game does play great but if you have the game and you noticed that it has frozen a few times then its because you have a lot of memory used up. Other than this little downfall there arent any other problems with this new game. Its a good game and a MUST get for the ps3.
What's great about it: the game has great graphics new weapons
What's not so great: can freeze if you have too much memory used up

Naughty Dog really did a good job with this game. You might think that this is a Tomb Raider rip off but its not. This game is better than Tomb Raider. The story line is great and not only that the sites and the way it works is really cool. Though when you try and jump to another area you sometimes dont grab it and die and you dont even know why you couldnt grab the ledge. Other than that this game is amazing. Those who like point and aim games will like this game. This game is a great one to those with a ps3
What's great about it: great gameplay
What's not so great: not being able to grab a ledge and die gets annoying
