PS3 Game Recommendations

I plan on finally picking up a PS3 in about a month, and putting together a wish list of games I want to eventually get around to buying. Having had a 360 for a while that eventually died on me(As of September 2010) I'm looking at trying the other HD console and its exclusives finally. Since I didn't own one I never really followed PS3 releases however, so I'm sure there is plenty of games out there that I am overlooking through sheer ignorance, so any suggestions would be lovely.
As it stands the games I am interested in off the bat include
ModNation Racers
Gran Turismo 5
MLB 11 The Show
Demon's Souls
Valkyria Chronicles
3D Dot Game Heroes
Little Big Planet 1 & 2
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 & 2
Anything about those titles I should know, and/or any suggestions as to similar titles I would enjoy? I'm pretty sure my friend has Uncharted 1 & 2 so those I plan to borrow at some point as well.

Also, inFamous is pretty good.
I want to know more PA people on Twitter.
Also Uncharted 1 and Infamous
About Gran Tursimo 5, though... ehhh, you will probably enjoy it if you're a car nut, but as a racing game, it leaves a lot to be desired.
I'm probably alone though on the idea. The first is a great game too and it's maybe better to play the one with less abilities first. As it would be annoying the other way around. But if the main draw to Little Big Planet for you, is the community levels, I'd say skip the first.
EDIT:
Also if you're a fan of platformers. The Ratchet and Clank games for the PS3, are gold.
Ratchet & Clank Tools of Destruction
Ratchet & Clank Quest for Booty
Ratchet & Clank A Crack In Time
PSN:Hakira__
And I'm contractual obligated to mention MAG (even though you didn't list any FPS titles).
Can't go too wrong there.

I think you must add the following to your list:
MotorStorm 1,2 and 3 (if the rumors are to believed)
EchoChrome
WipeOut HD
Killzone 1 & 2
As for GT5 it's a title I hold in so high regard that I'd say it will make you a car nut if you're not so get it.
Also non-exclusives:
Red Dead Redemption
Portal 2
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX
At least that's my opinion.
I also recommend GT5 (if you like cool cars and sim-racers), inFamous, and Portal 2.
Folklore is pretty neat. And I super love Ateriler Rorona.
I enjoyed Uncharted 2, but don't play it back to back with Assasin's Creed 2 or you'll be saying "Why the fuck can't you climb this thing, Drake, Ezio could climb the fuck out of it", and don't play it on Hard, or you'll be in for a long game of hide-and-peek headshotting.
AC2 and Red Dead are fantastic if you haven't xbox'd them yet.
Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles are goddam gems and should be your first gets.
e~
I liked MGS4, if you like MG you might, too.
3D Dot Game Heroes is okay. I don't really play it, but I really enjoy having my friends who aren't really gamers and have never played zelda etc, and everything is shiny and new to them. Also making mans if fun, if time consuming.
Also the PS3 version of Portal 2 is superior because it comes with a PC voucher.

The PS2 one is better. The PS3 one tries to "americanize" the thing and it just feels odd.
Infamous - Seriously, get this.
Uncharted 1 & 2 - Pretty good if you like cover shooters and climbing puzzles. The characters are amusing.
Ratchet & Clank - If you like platforming and shooting, all 3 are must buys.
Little Big Planet 1 & 2 - Pretty good if you like platforming, best if you have someone to do local multiplayer with.
Heavy Rain - The story is a little incoherent but can definitely pull the ol' heart strings.
Pixel Junk Shooter - Definitely a fun little game. I haven't played 2 yet, but I can vouch for 1 being good.
Non-exclusives
PS3 Portal 2 - the best version of Portal 2 to buy hands down.
There are plenty of other good non-exclusives to play beyond Portal 2 (like the above mentioned Red Dead Redemption) but I can't think of any that are necessarily best played on the PS3.
It's rather good at first, but doesn't really remain so.
Infamous would be a good addition to your list and, as others have said, LPB2 would be sufficient probably, no need for the first one.
Absolutely get Demon's Souls, yes.
Listen to this man.

The PS2 one is unplayable and the voice acting was terrible. Siren Blood Curse is great.
Honestly, Uncharted 1 and 2 should be cemented on the list. Uncharted 1 is a good game, Uncharted 2 is a HOLY SHIT FANTASTIC EXCEELENT GAME!!! I heard this and though my expectations were too high...they weren't. Love that game. Still play through it every 6months or so.
Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time was fantastic.
The God of War Triology. At the very least play three, the scope of some of the set pieces rocked my socks!
Edit: Nothing like claiming my lack of man parts as the totp :P
Then you did it wrong. I played it and it was just fine. The voices were weird, true, British accents coming out of Japanese people was a level of disturbing I wasn't aware of. But the acting itself was fine.
That being said, I'm not claiming the PS3 one is bad at all.
The original Siren is easily one of the hardest story-based games of all time. Even with a FAQ telling you what to do, it's still very tough. However, if you're up for the challenge, it's very rewarding. Siren 2 is even better and can actually be completed by mere mortals, but sadly it's never been released in the US (I played an Asian version although there's a UK version in English).
Even if the PS3 remake isn't as good as the original, I still want to play it. With most horror series going full blown action these days, good horror games with an actual emphasis on horror are in short supply.

I just bought it a week ago and have been playing it pretty heavily. I haven't encountered any player trying to kill me, but I have been destroyed by the AI over and over and over again. Really fun game.
I've had only one encounter with another player as I tend to stay in soul form, but that one time was rather amusing. I was killing the mini-legions at the start for sharp stones, and then attempting to exit via 1-1's demon portal but found it blocked. Returned back to the first room and saw the hostile spirit and readied myself, only he went running down the pathway towards the first tower. He must have expected me to have killed the red dragon already since he made no effort to get away when it flew overhead and roasted him.

Gripshift - It's a driving puzzle platformer. Sorta. It's hard to explain. Remember Hard Drivin'? It's like that, only more awesome.
echochrome - It's a puzzle game that uses perspective as a tool. You can create your own levels and upload them/download other people's created levels as well.
Super Rub a Dub - This game is like Marble Madness, except you're in a pool of water that you tilt using the Six Axis function of the controller. Instead of marbles you have a duck, who has to rescue little ducks from pits and windup sharks, among other things.
And even though it's not an exclusive, Burnout Paradise is $20 on the PSN and it's pretty rad, if you haven't played it yet.
Also, if you get Gran Turismo 5, stop by the GT5 Thread and let us know your PSN.
