    I'm looking for a good PS3 game... but one I've never played before. Like a fresh experience. But I'm not sure what to get. Any good games spring to mind?

    A fresh experience you say? A few one-of-a-kind games then...

    Flower - perhaps the most soothing, relaxing and atmospheric game on the console. You are a leaf in the wind, watch how you soar.

    Heavy Rain - imperfect (and that's being kind) but it's a different way of telling a story in games.

    Child of Eden - the most visually and aurally inventive game in many a year. Hypnotic stuff from beginning to end.

    Disgaea 4 - a wonderful starting point if you're unfamiliar with the most hardcore of SRPG series.

    Stacking / Costume Quest - Two Double Fine gems, and two charmingly unique games to boot.

    I have heavy rain and child of eden, not sure about them other ones :p

    I was thinking of gran turismo 5. I'm not much of a racing game guy as a rule, but I really enjoyed the racing aspects of Rage, wish their was more of it. Would I be better starting with GT5, or something like motorstorm?

    Demons and Dark Souls - My two favourite games of this gen. By a mile.

    Catherine: Action, puzzle platformer - definitely a fresh experience. One of the best games out last year.(can be imported now - due for release in EU next month).

    Alice: Madness Returns: Another action adventure game.

    Shadow of the Damned: Bought it but haven't played it yet -Third person shooter - looks good and was only E12 in gamestop.

    Without a doubt, 2 of my favourite games. Would say that Dark Souls is a little more forgiving as Demon Souls is an absolute bastard if you mess up. But the rewards for perserverance on both games are unmatched IMO. Am sure you could pick up Demon Souls for next to nothing 2nd hand but I would defnitely go for the more refined Dark Souls. 2011 game of the year for me.

    I agree with these three, awesome games, loved every minute of them !

    Flower is a PSN game. :)

    As for other games, try Rayman Origins. It may be an old school 2D platformer but it's fantastically designed and utterly beautiful to boot.

    Enslaved. One of the best single player games on the PS3 IMO.

    You can't go far wrong with the Jak and Daxter collection - some of the racing there reminded me of Rage (or vice versa).

    Also the Drake series - loved those games can't wait to play the latest.
    And Batman of course.
