Okami HD

Done

Ya know, there was one that I really wanted to get but couldn't because it was basically a PS3 exclusive, but I can't remember what it was...

I'm so helpful, I know.

Uncharted. All three games.

Oh, and LittleBigPlanet.

It's multiplatform but...well, NieR. You did say you wanted an RPG.

Also consider the Yakuza series and inFAMOUS 1 and 2.

Shadow of the Colossus.

Seconding Okami, Uncharted Trilogy, LittleBigPlanet, Shadow of the Colossus, and also the HD remakes of PS2 trilogies - Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and Sly Cooper.

Also, the downloadable game Flower. That's about it for PS3 exclusives, there are plenty of multiplatform games like Arkham City and Bioshock and others I can't think of right now.

Also, never ever buy God of War, because it's an awful series.

Gonna have to dispute this one here. It depends what you're after. A rich, intense story with a likeable character? You're better off elsewhere (NieR). If you want a stress-relieving hacky-slashy-button-mashy nine to twelve hours then any of the trilogy is a good idea. Ascension seems quite obviously forced in to try and milk that cash cow for all it's worth but I'm still gonna check it out because those games are fun for what they are.

To add to all that, I recommend Journey =D

Yeahhhhhhh no. It looks good and has a good soundtrack. That's all it has going for it. Gameplay is unoriginal and monotonous, and I don't like the idea that you can excuse awful characterisation and a dull story (the story of GOW3 being, from what I gathered, you fall to the bottom of the mountain and then climb back up it, i.e you play the full game just to get back to the start), especially when the gameplay itself is so meh. I mean, Mario Galaxy doesn't have a decent story or any depth to its characters, but the gameplay is top notch. But it could still be improved by a deeper story. Same goes for GOW, except the gameplay ISN'T good and the game therefore has basically no redeeming features. Incidentally, Gears of War is another series to be avoided for similar reasons.

@Quote (Mr. Traveler): He's already got it. It'd have been the first thing I'd have recommended.

I guess the entertainment the gameplay provides is subjective because I actually had a lot of fun with it. With the variety of weapons and combos on offer I thought it was fast, fluid and fun. When it was interlaced with the occasional puzzle made for a nice breathe of fresh air, even if they weren't of Portal level complexity. And yeah, if you generalise any story then it will sound bad but it dis justify it with Kratos finding Hephaestus who led him to Pandora.

Now, I'm not saying these games are revolutionary or fantastic. If anything, they're popcorn games, games to kill time with, have (subjective) fun with and then forget about when you play something better. It's essentially the video game equivalent of a summer blockbuster.
