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.

I do agree that inFAMOUS and Dead Space are totally worth playing too though!
Come to think of it, I would probably replace BlazBlue with MvsC 3, but Archie and Homer would probably disagree.
Yes, both those games are excellent. But with infamous he might as well wait for the sequel.
Says the guy who only plays its story!
You definitely don't need to play the first two games first. You'll want to play them after playing the third, though.
That's my reasoning. FYI Foolio, Mrs 'spro is a third of the way through 3 now. It was a shock going from 2 to 3. If you are going to play 4 though, make sure you play 2 first, it has a big tie-in.
"No", meaning I'm not in the minority?
If you do go with Dead Space Yoda, be sure to try playing Extraction on the Wii first. I'm not really helping here am I?
Not that I've played the first two yet, but I don't think having played three will necessarily spoil the first two at all. Unless you're a graphics whore I suppose.
Never played a Metal Gear game, so don't plan on catching up now.
Forgot about that. They've done some weird things with sequels this generation. Hrmm, probably have to bite the bullet and play it on PC, but I'm less prone to finish PC games.
I'll be done the semester in 6 weeks, so after that it'll be more consistent, as it'll just be regular 9-5 work, free weekends.
I'm on board with this idea. I just want to play one of them for the atmosphere, so the latest and greatest is probably best.
Those don't interest me as much, and I'm making stringent cuts.
Well, yes and no. I like it, but it's not my style with the over-the-top super moves all the time. Street Fighter's the main one.
RE5 gets a free pass because of RE4. Bioshock is playable because it's short and cheap.
Bioshock could be 5 minutes long and 20 cents and it still wouldn't be worth it.
I thought the same thing with RE5.
RE5 can be entertaining online.
Yeah, it has Dvader mode.
