It's a great, but very in depth game. And some excruciatingly long cutscenes :P but well worth the play.

I've come to really like the Ratchet and Clank games. Haven't played All for One though because of FW restrictions.

No love for FFXIII? Or Batman Arkham Asylum?

All of the games suggested are great, you should get a Singstar one as well, its a lot of fun on parties

Then I'd strongly suggest playing the previous 3 MGS games. As a big fan of MGS and a person that grew up with Solid Snake, I can say that all the previous games were better than MGS4 (more tactical espionage action, less cutscenes ) so if you haven't done it already, you should really give them a go. MGS1 is available on PSN (and torrents), also MGS2 and 3 were recently re-released in a HD collection for the PS3.

This is also the first time that I hear somebody saying something nice about MGS4 without ever playing the previous games. I played it 7 or 8 times and I really loved it but people who know nothing about the previous games usually don't. Where I see a great soldier and the final chapter of his life coming to an end and completing the story, others see an old emo fart pondering on meaningless crap. So you kinda just made my day, thanks for that.

Metal Gear 4 -
is a must play for any ps3 owner, but its very story heavy so if you didn't play the 3 previous games you'll be kinda lost. But is an AWESOME game.

Uncharted 1,2 and 3 -
This is how you make a third person shooter. Excelent gameplay, excelent story, Drake is such an awesome dude.

And an underrated gem, Folklore:
An action RPG/mystery game. It makes good use of Sixaxis. My favorite game for the ps3 hands down.

Brutal Legend is an awesome game. Online sucks, which makes it a perfect CFW game. Single player has 3 difficulties, start on the lowest if you have never played a game like this (if you've played Batman Arkham Asylum/City, then it's pretty much the same genre). It's a metal themed game.

And Brutal Legend, ahh that game was just great because it was metal themed. Some of the fighting elements in the game were tacky and boring but it was still fun to bang out to.

My uncle has played through it so many times, and he's never been any kind of console or PC gamer ever. And he's 55 years old..loves the game. I will definitely give the first 3 a run through. I'm just unsure (never bothered to look up) if MGS is PSX or PS2. May need to borrow a ps2.

There's a lot of beauty in the game. The story is one of the biggest elements of it's aura, not to mention the game play and mechanics themselves. There's so much about it, that it's a mission to go back into retro mode and learn about it to fully appreciate what it has to offer.

His age really adds to the ... coolness? of the way it plays too. I can't wait to get into it or play the first few.

Uncharted 3 is number 1 permanently
the rest of 9 is of yours choice

[opium2k]

Not sure if Dirt 3 was mentioned or not but if you can handle the load times it can be quite fun. Dirt 1 and 2 are both on ps3 as well I believe.

sly cooper - The Sly Collection
ratchet and clank - All 4 One, A Crack in Time, Tools of Destruction
jak and daxter - Jak and Daxter Collection
rayman origins
sonic - (lots of games)

I haven't tried any of the above but those series' are usually popular with kids.
There's a bunch of emulators for old systems too like NES, SNES, gameboy advance, etc. Obviously the graphics won't appeal to him as much as the ps3 games but they have huge libraries of games for all age ranges.
