Question
Hello I would like to ask you a question , which might seem rather unusal.

I have a ps3 and i have the games   cod4 , cod5 , h.a.w.x , gta4 , all fifa games , warhawk , restiance 1 and tom clancys end war.

I am intresting in purchasing another game , however I can't really think of a good one everybody says  guitar hero, our littlebigplaent would be good but i do not see the appeal , is there any game you would reccomend that I buy ?

Answer
If your interests really only lie in action-packed games, I would recommend Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, The Orange Box, Haze, Metal Gear Solid 4, Fallout 3, Bioshock, Mirror's Edge, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry 2, Devil May Cry 4. Those are more in-line with games you enjoy. Little Big Planet and Guitar Hero are great games, don't get me wrong. However, if you're more for the action-packed games those won't satiate you. =)

Please let me know if I can help you further or with anything else.

Best wishes,
Helen =)

Expertise

Ever since I played "Pong" in the early 80's, I've been a video game aficionado. I can answer hardware & games questions about PSP (PlayStation Portable), all PlayStation (1,2,& 3), Wii, Wii Fit, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Nintendo (NES), Super Nintendo, Gameboy/Gameboy Advance, and antiquated systems (ColecoVision, Atari, Sega, etc). I can answer hardware questions about all systems (including PS1 - PS3, Wii, NES, SNES, PSP, DS, GBA, GB, Xbox and Xbox 360). I can also answer PC game questions, especially CounterStrike: Source, Vampire: Bloodlines, Half-Life 1&2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, and all Sims & Sims 2 questions. I am ESPECIALLY knowledgeable in Square-Enix (formerly SquareSoft) games such as ALL the Final Fantasy games (I can even tell you really obscure things about these games). If I haven't played the game yet I will research it and help you find the answer, renting the game if necessary. I can even answer questions dealing with the consoles themselves (hardware questions). I cannot answer questions about Action Replay. I cannot answer questions about football, basketball, or wrestling sports games. I also have very limited knowledge about Xbox & Xbox 360 games unless they are cross-platform. If it is an independent game that has not been widely published and/or a game only released in some countries, I may not be able to help with it either (sadly!)

Experience

I currently am employed as a supervisor for a large, national video game retailer. I am also an expert here in games/roleplaying games, weddings, childbirth, and doulas. My husband is a computer programmer and one of the forefront coders for CounterStrike: Source scripts & mods. He has his own forums for coders/scripters at Mattie.Info. I have been an expert here since 2000 (under the name of Helen Chipman) and also volunteer on numerous other game-related websites and forums.
