I need your knowledge!

[Breine]

I've grown a bit tired of my game collection, and I feel like I need something new to mix it up a bit. I'd love to get some recommendations for good PS3 and Wii games, but PS2 games are more than welcome as well

So, hit me!

[Flying Mullet]

Any preferred genres?

[VeloZer0]

If you could post a list of what your favorite games are were we could probably get a better handle on your tastes.

2 blind recommendations for games I haven't played but are coming soon:

3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3), out on May 11th in the US. It's basically a big 8-bit nostalgia trip encapsulated in the gameplay design of the first Zelda.

Trauma Team (Wii), out on May 18th in the US. The latest in the Trauma Center series that used to focus on just surgeries using the DS Stylus or the Wii Pointer, but this one introduces 5 other medicinal disciplines in addition to the standard surgery. The biggest addition is Forensics, which appears to be a large chunk of the game and is fashioned a little more after the Phoenix Wright style of adventure game.

You might notice that both of these games are published by Atlus. They have a pretty good track record of quality games, so chances are 80% of the time you pick up something with their name on it it'll be something good.

Both of these games will be $40 brand new.

You seem to like fighting games, so this post is dedicated to fighting games. They've had a bit of a resurgence in the last two years, with the biggest one being Street Fighter 4. Super Street Fighter 4 is out now, so it's recommendable to just skip to that. Soul Calibur 4 came out a while ago so you should be able to get it pretty cheap. BlazBlue's pretty good and has been out for a bit, but the next version of it is coming out in July (BlazBlue Continuum Shift). It's more of a 'Super Blazblue' than a 'BlazBlue2'. You can download Battle Fantasia from the PlayStation network if you reeaallly want to (it never came out on disc for the PS3), but that's more of a cute diversion than a 'good fighting game'.

I don't really like Tekken, but Tekken 6 is available too. I love me some Virtua Fighter 5, but the 360 version is a newer/better version.

For Wii, the list is pretty short. There's Tatsunoko vs Capcom and several King of Fighters compilations, but I'd probably stick with Tatsunoko. Smash Bros. could be fun, but judging from your list (and the fact that you didn't get it for the GameCube) it doesn't seem like you have a lot of Nintendo history love.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is coming out this month, y'know.

Anyway, about fighting games, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core is also available on the Wii if you're interested.

The biggest addition is Forensics, which appears to be a large chunk of the game and is fashioned a little more after the Phoenix Wright style of adventure game.

I can safely recommend Trauma Center: Second Opinion and Trauma Center: New Blood as well.

So much truth in so few words. Get this game.

If you like the whole climbing around and jumping stuff in Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider then you will most definitely like Mirror's Edge. It's all zooom zoom zoom climb fast run go wall jump hurry bullets will catch you! It is very beautiful, and I love it even though I hate playing in the first person! It can be beaten in one sitting if you don't get too stuck, so you may just want to rent it. Assassin's Creed is this plus assassinating people and it's pretty great. So definitely Mirror's Edge and Assassin's Creed.


If you're looking for JRPGs, may I recommend Persona 4 :</>D?

EDIT:

...I need to go hijack my brother's Xbox now.

Okami for Wii or PS2. littlebigplanet for PS3.

Very much true. I recommend Assassin's Creed 2, 'cause it's better. Mirror's Edge is a must-get.

[Rostum]

The Wii remake of 'A Boy and his Blob'. Gorgeous game.

[Bolivar]

Well you like Tomb Raider, i would definitely recommend the uncharted games on PS3.

I see you got Gran turismo 5 Prologue, unless you want to just wait for GT5 this year, I would recommend Need For Speed: Shift, seriously, try the demo on the Playstation Store

As far as RPG's go I can absolutely recommend Vaklyria Chronicles, but you might want to check White Knight Chronicles as well (both PS3, not related).

i can vouch for Assassin's Creed II as well, just finished it and it's one of the richest experiences I've found this generation, but you might want to play the first one because it does add to the story a little bit, plus its cheap as hell now.

Yeah, Assassin's Creed II has a lot of minor improvements that perfects what they set up in ACI. Of course if you play the second one first you'll spoil the original story xD
