Killzone was always worth playing but Resistance 3 is better story wise than any FPS I ever played.

Resistance is actually much different from the other fps in that era. It's got a Half Life vibe in it definitely, especially the third one.As an Xbox 360 guy, I didn't get a PS3 until late in the system's life. Fortunately I've been able to go back and play a lot of the classic exclusives that defined the system: The Last of Us, InFamous 1 and 2, the Uncharted trilogy, the Yakuza games, Valkyria Chronicles, Ni No Kuni, and others. But two franchises I never got around to playing were the two big exclusive FPS series - Resistance 1-3 and Killzone 2+3. I played a bit of Killzone 1 on PS2 and found it pretty much a half-hearted attempt to make an edgy dudebro FPS but I've heard the second two games improved upon the formula. And Resistance always felt, again, like an attempt to make a brown dark dudebro FPS that defined that era of games.
That said, all 5 games are pretty cheap right now, and given that I never got a hold of them through any other means (for example, through PS+ when they had PS3 games available) I'm thinking about grabbing them. Is it worth it? Or should I skip these games?
Wait a minute here, you mentioned franchises that defined the system and didnt mention LBP, Motorstorm and even the superb Warhawk? what is wrong with you? and yes they are worth playing still, as a matter of fact i started playing Resistance 3 like 2 days ago on psnow. Killzone 2 multiplayer was the bomb though.As an Xbox 360 guy, I didn't get a PS3 until late in the system's life.

Warhawk multiplayer experience hasnt been matched on PS consoles IMO. MAG was amazing as well.Unfortunately I never played games like Starhawk, Warhawk, and MAG...kicking myself since there's no point now that their servers are offline.
LBP I played and liked but didn't include, sorry. Motorstorm, probably should play that.
