First time PS3 buyer

[BreakABone]

I haven't played much beyond that with MGS 4, but I heard from my friend that the ending clocks in at near 2 hours so take that as you will.

I didn't want to get into a pissing match about the Watchmen which is why I didn't mention my own opinion on the movie, but one of the reasons I haven't bought it on any format is I don't think I can sit through it again.

And on GTA 4, I don't think the visuals were that great when they came out and I assume a year and a half has done it no favors.

Now before answer on gameplay, if you have never played any of the GTA games beforehand, I would recommend it.

If you have though, I got bored about a quarter of the way through because no matter how awesome a sandbox game is... there are limitations to the mission structure so around my 3rd scout out an area, and protect someone making a deal mission, I just grew bored.

Now if you want a sandbox game that doesn't take itself too seriously I recommend Saints Row, the only problem is the game looks rough around the edges.

If you want a game that combines value and length I guess something like Resistance 2 would be up your alley, now I've played very little of it, but it does look nice and offer online play so make of that what you will.

I still stand by my picks of Uncharted or Ratchet though.
