I have a silver 320 gb PS3 in the way (should be here on Monday), so after playing the whole gen with the other consoles, I don't know that much about its exclusives. I have The Last of Us coming with the console, so that's going to be the first thing I play there and I'm going to get Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles for sure, but besides that I'm lost.
(I've already played Heavy Rain, Resistance, Killzone 3 and Uncharted 3 with a friend so don't recommend those)

Thanks!

edit- Getting:
(at first)
CRASH TEAM RACING hnggg
Last of Us
Demon's Souls
Valkirya Chronicles
Uncharted series
Journey
Infamous 2

Enjoy Valkyria Chronicles! Lots of fun and the story/writing is surprisingly great if a bit cheesy some of the time. Ni no Kuni is great, too. Try 3D Dot Game Heroes if you ever liked old school Zelda gameplay.

MGS Collection I have on 360, the Uncharted games I actually forgot, I'll get them all for sure and Journey as well.

It's my favourite game ever, I have it already on PC and 360, I am super excited to play Demon's.

I played Infamous 1 for a bit a while ago, so I'll just get 2.

Dont get too many. Stick to like 5 maximum first of all... But your list sounds brilliant for now. Play Demons Souls. You won't regret it.

inFamous 2 falls apart in the middle as does the framerate. Get the standalone PSN inFamous title. It's the perfect length and while it still has a crappy framerate a lot of the time, it's better than inFamous 2's. As others said, Journey is a must.

Check out 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's an Ode to Classic Zelda gameplay with an interesting voxel graphical style.

ModNation Racers is PS3's answer to MarioKart except you can totally customize your avatars appearance and create tracks. It's one of the most in depth methods of track creation in a console racing game to date.

If you don't own a Vita and like the Disgaea series, Disgaea 3, 4, and D2 are console exclusives on the PS3.

Others have already recommended Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, Demon's Souls, Ni no Kuni, Valkyria Chronicles, The InFamous Collection is also worth checking out.

Now for digital stuff. Flower and Journey are obvious recommendations. Also don't forget to check out Wipeout HD, Super Star Dust HD, Rainbow Moon and it's upcoming sequel Rainbow Skies.

I could probably come up with more games, but I think what was recommended thus far is a solid list to check out.

Oh and of course, Gran Turismo 6

I'm still in the "new PS3 owner" phase and I'm pretty much just resigning myself to the lazy river of PS Plus releases. They keep on releasing content-heavy RPG's, so it's plenty alone.

I tried Demon's Souls and I can't beat the first level (post-Nexus). I'm making mild progress in Dark Souls though, but I don't think the series is for me.

PS4 released and Sony had a host of problems with PSN.

Use the web store though. The PS3 store is garbage.

DO NOT PLAY TLOU YET!!!! Wait a bit if you can, so you can experience the progress Sony first party games endured.

I think you will appreciate all games and TLOU a bit more that way.

BTW, GOW3 is a must.

So far in my collection I have:

Last of Us
Batman Arkham Origins
Ni Ni Kuni
Demon's Souls
Tokyo Jungle
Uncharted 1-3
Infamous collection
PS+

...I think I should be set for awhile. ;)

Demon's Souls = best game on the system.

Also recommend, as most people have mentioned:
  • Uncharted series
  • LittleBigPlanet (Get the f2p Hub whenever it releases, as it should have all story mode levels from 1/2. Series is all about simultaneous cooperative+competitive multiplayer fun!)
  • Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time (it's a level above the other R&Cs)
  • Valkyria Chronicles
  • Infamous 2 (since you've played 1)
  • Flower
  • Journey
  • MGS4

I played LBP a lot on the PSP, but if I find the latest one for very cheap, I'll buy it. GTAV I'll wait until it is cheap.

Depending on what you disliked about Abyss (characters are a common complaint) you might still like either game. Lots of people like and dislike different Tales. I'd mainly recommend Xillia though if you want a more likable story and cast.
