From no games to too many for my budget

As i said before im not 100% fanboy, i researched both the 360 and PS3 before i bought them and yes at the time of the PS3's release there games were lacking but based on blu-ray, free on-line, built in wifi, the word of mouth from friends of the hardware failures of the 360 and the long jevity of sonys consoles (PS2 life span= 10years, xbox life span= 4 year)because paying hundreds for a console i would like it to last atleast 5+ years before they make something else. People complain about the backwards compatibility that the PS3 lacks but with the PS2 being around 10 years im alil ready to move on, i mean if your that worried about 10 year old games go pay 100$ to get a new slim ps2. Of course the 360 better be backwards compatible since it wasnt even around 5 years.

Back to the games though, when i got my Ps3 the only really good games were Resistance, Motorstorm, and a couple multi plats like Assasins Creed. The only really good exclusive was Ratchet & Clank Future. Then 1 game gave me a glimpse of hope for things to come, Uncharted. This game had the best graphics of its time on any system, an great story and fun gameplay. Then along came Metal Gear Solid 4. I have been a fan of this series since its original debut on the Playstation. Its graphics topped Uncharted and was one of my favorite games of 2008. Grand Theft Auto 4 was also a great multi plat game of 08 as well as Soul Calibur 4. Rounding out 08 there were many great multi plats such as Star Wara: TFU, Dead Space, and Fallout 3. It also ended with 2 strong exclusives in Resistance 2, and Little big planet. There were so many good exclusives and multi plats i barely had the funds to keep up. (Im not a hardcore gamer that lives at home in the basement and works just to buy games, i have rent, bills, etc..) 09 has started out a lil slow for the PS3 just as 08. But just like 08 it seems that it will end with a bang. 09 has started out with a great exclusive in Killzone 2. This games grahics and music score are equally matched by great gameplay an on-line. Then in march i picked up the multi plat Resident Evil 5. I have played every RE game since the original on the Playstation and is one of my favorite game series of all time. It was a great game with good graphics and fun single player and multi player modes. My next gaming purchase will be the PS3 exclusive InFamous. This is the first of a many exclusives up comming for the Ps3 in late 09 early 2010. Before the holiday season there will be Uncharted 2 and Ratchet & Clank Futre: ACIT. Plus multi plats to get like Assassins Creed 2 and Borderlands. Then after the holidays there are Ps3 Exclusives like God of War 3, MAG, Heavy Rain, possibly a new Twisted Metal game, and Gran Turismo 5. With all of these up coming games exclusive and multi plat im glad i got a PS3.
