So my PS3 still has that new system smell.  But that also means I've got some catching up to do.  Now, here's the trick -- I'm doing the beat-one buy-one thing, so no bulk buying!  This is a matter of priorities.  I'm going to dump games in here that I have in mind, but in no particular order as of yet.

Uncharted
Uncharted 2
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Bioshock
Eternal Sonata
Super Street Fighter 4
BlazBlue
Red Dead Redemption
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Demon's Souls
Valkyria Chronicles
Resident Evil 5
Yakuza 3

And then there's the PSN stuff which is tempting.
Xenogears
Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX

And I'm sure more that I didn't torture myself by browsing.

Sure there's more I'd like to play, but I've gotta keep the count low or we'll never get through this!  Okay, barring some games that I missed in there, let's work on priorities.

Uncharted and Uncharted 2 I will play and finish, and I'd want to do that before Uncharted 3, so there's a decent amount of time.  Need to keep May open for LA Noire.  I've wanted to play Eternal Sonata for a long while, so I may start the summer with that.  Then it gets tricky.

Any thoughts, suggestions?  And yes, I still have my insane backlog from other systems, but I'm just not going to think about that.

Little Big Planet is fun and I want to try Heavy Rain sometime soon, maybe in April.  I've finished U1 and will mover onto U2 soon.  Are you a Metal Gear fan?

Scratch Mass Effect off that list. It's not available for PS3, but I DO highly recommend ME2!

Buy ME1 on the PC and do skip Heavy Rain.

Skip all of those, and get Burger Time HD. Nyaa

I would recommend one of these to start:
  • Batman: Arkham Asylum
  • Bioshock
  • Mass Effect 2
  • Resident Evil 5
This one's sequel is coming out next week. Maybe skip this one and go for the more complete, better localized sequel? It may not be necessary to play all the games in this series.
  • Yakuza 3
This is a tough call. Uncharted is great whenever you want to play it, but I would NOT recommend playing one right after the other after the other. Could cause burn-out and with these games, that would be a shame!
  • Uncharted
  • Uncharted 2

These games are great, but how much time do you have at the moment?

  • Demon's Souls
  • Valkyria Chronicles
  • Red Dead Redemption
Saved for the Summer time
  • Eternal Sonata
You can play these at any time, but why no Marvel vs. Capcom 3? Didn't you enjoy Tatsunoko?
  • Super Street Fighter 4
  • BlazBlue
Not applicable
  • Mass Effect

Good list there. Of course get MGS4 if you like MGS. Ratchet ACIT is excellent as well. GoW3 if you like action games.

Since I'm still a fairly new owner I can't comment on too much but Valkyria Chronicles was without a doubt the best game I've played so far. One of the best games I've played in years really. My only complaint is that it's a little long, and the first half of the game is so amazingly good, that the second half feels a little disappointing. Not that it's bad by any means, but some of the levels/missions in the first half are truly brilliant and original, whereas the second half takes those original ideas and starts to build on them rather than continue the pace of original ideas.

I would not suggest going into Yakuza 3 unless you have played 1 and 2.  Foolz did it, but he's special.

Your list is excellent, but I'd skip RE5 and Bioshlock, but I'm in the minority on those titles.

Also consider:
Sonic & Sega All Star Racing, Dead Space and Infamous.

Awww! Leave Foolz alone! Meanie!

Yakuza 3 has a "Story So Far" feature where you can watch the cutscenes of the previous games so you can catch up pretty easily. I would suspect 4 would have the same. I dunno; I have a feeling playing the earlier Yakuza would be kinda redundant. I am also assuming that part 4 would include everything the past games had and just improve on them. I am not an expert though. If Yoda already has a pretty big backlog, there are some games he should consider skipping.

NO.
