    Killzone 2 should be your first demo to check out

    although i can say it will be even more impressive once your cinema room is complete, killzone 2 really benefits from that surround sound/big tv experience

    Killzone 2 and Resident Evil 5

    The DTS surround sound in Killzone 2 is something special.

    Meh, Killzone 2 sucks big time... If it was on the PC is would fail so much.

    Download RE5, Metal Gear Online, New Supersonic Car Thingymiggy and anything else that takes your fancy i.e. Mirrors Edge etc.

    F.E.A.R. 2 Project Origin
    Good playable demo, leaves you wanting for more, speaking of which I've just ordered my copy.

    Make sure you play the first before the sequel though, u should be able to pick up a copy for about £10 off eBay or the forums. It's a very long game and a much better horror than Dead Space, dunno why they call that a Horror tbh.

    Many different places, whoever has the best price at the time you order I guess but you can't go wrong with either of these:
    Play.com / Amazon / Game and sometimes Gameplay

    I'd avoid Shopto.net mind as they sell imported games which for the money is a bit of a rip off imho anyways.

    Shopto are usually well priced and they do have excellent customer service.

    OK here goes:

    Naruto - if you want the occasional bout of 1 on 1 beat-em-up-ing its better than having to buy one
    Burnout Paradise - If it's still around
    Uncharted - Awesome
    Ratchett and Clank - dito
    Valkyria Chronicles - a fraction of an awesome game
    Wipeout HD - 1080P
    MGS 4 - see if you like it
    Motorstorm 2 - I know people that prefer it to Burnout... weirdos
    Kill Zone 2 - See what the system is capable of
    Super Stardust HD - 1080P pew pew pew

    Resi 5 and Killzone 2 are well worth getting, just got my PS3 a few weeks ago myself.

    I would buy Drakes Fortune, you can get it for peanuts now pre owned and it is just so good. Its done by the team the done the Soul Reaver games (Or a few of the origional Soul Reaver team, something like that! ). Been playing it non stop and have got up to a dark forest bit where the enemies have laser sights on their weapons! Pretty far into it now and loving every minute of it.

    Also pick up a copy of Resistance Fall of Man. Kind of a cross between HALO and Gears of War with a WW2 type setting (bizarre I know! ) but its a really good addictive shooter. I picked this and Drake up for £20

    Yeah Dirt or MotorStorm1/2 are your best bets. MS is made by the ex-WRC team, but isn't rally.
