just cause 2 is the closest i can think of. GTA4 would be pretty close but no jungles. far cry 3 is also out later this year/early next year i believe.

I never played the first game and looked for some gameplay, it greatly reminded me of Final Fantasy XII which is a good thing since it's actually one of my favorite Final Fantasy games.
I can get around a bad story and clichй characters, I've heard those are the biggest criticisms the games get.

Only thing holding me slightly back is the really slow pace of the combat, is the entire game like that? Do you think I will grow used to it?

Short answer: no.
Long answer: HELL NOOO!!!
Don't be fooled by its visual likeness to FF12. It's nothing like that. FF12's world exploration and battle mechanics are a gem, this one's - a steaming pile of horse poo.

Okay so I'm going shopping tonight and seeing how much I can trade in Brink for, but in return I'm looking for some good games for the PS3. I would like to say exclusives are priority here above all else but anyone can suggest anything for me. I like everything except RPG's and some sports tittles, not a major fan of those.

My current games are as follows, so please don't suggest one of these

Uncharted/2, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, The Saboteur, RE5, LBP, DiRT2, inFAMOUS, COD4, Bioshock 2, Mirror's Edge, GTA IV, Dead Space/2, GT5 Prologue, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk and some football games.

Looking for something possibly with a deep and or long storyline that isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg (i.e anything near RRP price of £39.99!) Cheap and cheerful I would say. Thank you in advance!

You could try out Demon's Souls. While it does not have a deep story line, it is a pretty long game on the first playthrough. Granted, it is classified as an RPG, but I'd say it is still worth checking out.

3D dot Game Heroes is another nice PS3 exclusive. It is basically 'Zelda in HD and with blocky characters', very charming, very colorfull, it has a nice difficulty and I personally found it very entertainig.

Another exclusive would be Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Albeit being a bit on the cheap/unfair side of the difficulty spectrum it has a nice combat system, high replay value and should be pretty cheap to find nowadays.

Hmm what about this thread? Is it a thread for people to ask what games to get then others answer them. Or anyone can just post what they prefer. Sorry but this won't work for me... No offense again.

My impression was the first one. Soooo many of these pop up on a weekly basis, I think directing them into one thread would be useful. Plus people then see previously suggested games, instead of asking over, and over, and over, and over..... because the search function seems to be beyond some ...

How about InFamous 2? Since you've already have the first it would be logical to get the second one too. It fits almost all your criteria: it's an exclusive, it's got nice story, not sure about length though.

Assassin's Creed 2 - it's not a shooter though and not an exclusive, but is one of the best new franchises, and it's got a nice story/universe if you're into conspiracies.

Red Faction: Armageddon is a good enough 3rd person shooter. The destruction is pretty cool and it does have some of the best weapons ever (examples: Rail Driver, Magnet Gun & Singularity Cannon).

I enjoyed playing it although the first couple of levels didn't exactly get me excited, but perservering beyond that and it turned out to be pretty fun. Plus, its a fairly easy platinum to if you love your trophies. Took me about 13 hours of game time to get it.

If you are a fan of mini MMOs, then definitely yes. White Knight Chronicles is one of the best co-op based RPG games in a while. The online community is one of the best I have ever seen. The series has been constantly getting free updates during its Japanese run unlike Final Fantasy XIII, whose "DLC" got "transferred" to FF13-2.

Don't go with gimmicks. If you love co-op, you will love WKC2. There is a reason lots of people who play it play for more than 1000 hours.
