Hey Forum,

I got some gift card money for the holidays and am inevitably going to use it all on video games. I'm not a crazy gamer, there are a lot of older games that I could probably squeeze in at relatively low cost that would be good choices, so I'm turning to you guys to help me figure out what I should buy for PS3.

I have a strange rule about this though - no gun games. To make my wife happy - any games focused on (specifically) gunfire and murder (whether it's war or GTA stuff) are a no go. This is sort of a half made up concept since I will play games like Mass Effect where the killing is mostly alien and scifi - but certainly nothing realistic with guns. Sword games are ok, I've played all AC games and have no problem with those.

Typically, I can get through most games if the story is good.

Games I've recently played and liked: Uncharteds, basically all AC games (though I hate Black Flag), Infamous, ME Trilogy, Arkham Asylum, and Skyrim. I have no desire for the crafting and the depth Skyrim and some other games provide, but I can get away with ignoring them in most cases so it's ok.

Games that I have in the queue: Infamous 2, the first 2 Dragon Age games, Arkham City, and Skyrim is back on the list.

Games I historically like: Used to love Zelda games and am not sure if something like this exists on PS3. I got big time enjoyment out of Dynasty Warriors 4 back on PS2 in college. Finally, I went through a heavy RPG phase on SNES - Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasies, Dragon Warriors etc, but it's been a long time since I've played those, and am not sure I'm ready to go back to turn based combat.

Seriously - please fire away, I hoping you can help me with as many suggestions as possible - Thanks in advance!

Games I'm looking at so far:

Shadow of Mordor, Amalur, Darksiders, Enslaved, Dishonored, Dynasty Warriors 8

@partyeh: my recommendation

  • Okami HD: it's basically a clone of Zelda from what i heard (haven't played the Zelda series) fantastic action adventure game!
  • Demon's Souls/Dark Souls + Artorias of the Abyss dlc: these are Action-rpgs/dungeon crawlers with a fun co-op/pvp built into the game.
  • Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection: Ico is a game where you and a girl are trying to find your way out of a castle it's a puzzle/action adventure game. Shadow of the Colossus Collection is a game you must kill 16 Colossi to save a loved one the story is interesting it's a action platformer puzzle game/action adventure.
  • God of War Saga Collection: contains 5 games including God of War 1,2,3, Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta: fantastic hack n slash games with a small dose of puzzles to break up the action. these games do have sex-mini games aren't very graphic and they're optional, they're also on the violent side very gory at times!

@locus-solus: Thanks so much - I'm getting God of War now for sure, also Ico and the shadow of the colossus.

@GTR12 - only reason Last of Us isn't on there is because it's still too pricey for me to be able to load up with the amount of money I was given :)

Get the new Duke Nukem 3D that just came out and see how shitty the FPS genre has got in recent times.

if you love Zelda then you should try 3D Dot Game Heroes. it paid homage to the classic zelda games.

There's gun fire but you're killing Nazis so it's not so bad - Wolfenstein The New Order is probably the best FPS with a story that I've tried in a long time.

So no gun games involving gunfire and murder yet you stated you liked Uncharted where you shoot people lol, anyway I suggest:

  • Spelunky
  • Wipeout 2097
  • Minecraft
  • Plants vs Zombies
  • Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
  • Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
  • Vanquish
  • Dragon's Crown
  • Dark Souls 1/2
  • Dead Island
  • Sonic Generations

To bad you dont like gore and murder because God of War 3 is epic.

But according to what you said, I would recommend both Darksiders games, Dark Arisen and Dark Souls 2. Shadow of Mordor is supposedly crappy on last generation consoles or so I've read.
