Anderson,
I just recently got a PS3 and my reaction to Resistance 1 was the same as you. I just couldn't get into it. Maybe I was too late to the party.
So I might just try Journey.
I think everyone should at least try Journey. It's just such a unique game. Probably only a third of the people who play it will really get into it, but for those people, it'll be a great experience. For the others, they may find it somewhat dull, but it'll probably still be a reasonably pleasant experience, nothing aggravating or annoying. It's hard for me to imagine someone who would really dislike Journey. If there is such a person, I don't want to meet him.
