Hi MrsGorilla
I don't play ps3 personally, I have xbox360. But a lot of the games cross both platforms anyway:
Recomendations:
Call of Duty world at war : WW2 shooting, good graphics.
Bioshock : shooting and puzzle type game (very good)
GTA 4 : gangster drama, cars and guns and general badness
Tomb raider : Obvious really
Lego batman : Good fun, non serious game. boring after a while tho
To the Interloper who is distracting, if not attempting to hijack this thread:
I agree that pointing out the dangers that you think these games can have on young minds is not "drivel" (to you). However, it is fairly clear that not everyone agrees with you, or the game would not be top sellers.
There are far better ways to get your point across, other than than by taking cheap shots at Americans as you tend to do all too frequently. Comments of that type have no place in the main forums anyway. From what I have seen, few (if any) of the regular people in here have ever disrespected you or anyone else. I would ask you to consider the fact that that lumping all Americans into a single category, is similar to lumping all people of Islamic heritage, Asian heritage, or African heritage into categories, and I am sure that most people here would find that to be both disrespectful and distasteful.
With that said, I would like to return to the purpose of this thread.
My Son has an XBox 360, and plays Call Of Duty (several versions) with his friends. On at least one version, he actually goes online to play against/with some of his friends.
I am not sure which Call of Duty games are available on the PS3, but no matter, they are all good, although I am not suggesting them for children under teens (maybe 10). As for Online? I have no idea about that with PS3.
