I generally hate FPSs on consoles, but prefer third-person shooters there. That said "Resistance" (1 and 2) is, by far, the best FPS experience on the PS3. There's a glut of them - most cheap now - that are all perfectly fine. "Dark Sector", "The Darkness", "F.E.A.R", "Haze", "Turok". Of course the big cross-platform boys are also out "Bioshock", "Mirror's Edge", etc. Most all of these have demos available - that's easily enough to time to tell whether you'll care to pay for them. As far as Third-Person goes you've got some truly great options. "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" is (far and away) my favorite but "Metal Gear Solid" is amazing as well. The "Ratchet and Clank" games are more platform-oriented, but shooter-heavy (and great). > I'm hoping I can go console only. I hate to sink $2500 into a gaming > pc right now. My development workstation is plenty beefy but I'm not sinking money into gaming hardware anymore either... I'll buy two year video cards for $30 rather than spend $500 on something new. ;^) I am trying to get into more PC gaming tho' - if for no other reason than now that the kids are getting older getting TV time is becoming more and more difficult. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:280994 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
