@no-quarter Regarding Rugby games, I don't have Rugby 18 but have Rugby Challenge 3 and Rugby League Live 4 and they're both fairly average games but I play careers and make awesome Shield Snorters teams. When I had a month's break from work last year I created a greatest ever Shield Snorters team from scratch (mucked around figuring out weights and heights of players etc). My mate and I used to play online quite a bit.
The problem with the Rugby game is that the highest level was impossible - you can't even throw a lineout in straight - but the second hardest was too easy. I play the league game more these days.
Other than those I'd recommend the Uncharted games, they're a mix of shoot em up and puzzles (male Tomb Raider basically). The old ones have been remastered so you can go through them all if you liked them.

Naughty Dog make some great games.
The Last of Us would be my pick of the games that has been brought to PS4 that was also released on PS3. An epic story mixed with some great game play.
The Uncharted games are the other games they've released on PS4 are also great. Kinda Indiana Jones types of stories mixed with gaming.
Rayman Legends and any of the Lego multiplayer games would be heaps of fun to play with the kids.
There is also PS Plus. This gives you access to online games and you can also download a couple of free games each month ($90 per year)
The new God of War is supposed to awesome too. Haven't had time to play it yet though.

What's a good space sci-fi game? I've been playing Star Trek Online recently, but it's pretty average.
Someone should licence Peter F Hamilton or Neal Asher's books for games.
No they shouldnโt. Iโd end up like one of those South Koreans that donโt eat for 72 hours playing games and are found dead.

Thanks guys some good suggestions and more than enough to keep me entertained

@paekakboyz Yeah, that was really intriguing. That fictional universe has a lot of possibilities. I suspect that a TV series based on it could be as big as Star Trek.

Definitely give elder scrolls a go bro! Skyrim is ficking epic and even short sessions let you advance pretty quickly. I'm big on total war warhammer atm, but I think that's more PC than console based. Dark souls is also cool, but expect to die... a lot!!
Picked up Skyrim in the weekend, played the first level, and can already tell how awesome this game is going to be. Love how it started off with someone getting beheaded, and how when you kill someone he sometimes does an awesome elaborate finishing move. I also spent way too long customising what my character looked like...

@no-quarter ahem, let me know if you want any tips on min/maxing. There is a pretty easy smithing and enchanting grind you can do (iron daggers for africa) that you can spam. If you do it in bursts it doesn't upset the leveling or difficulty.
Was that the version with Dawnguard and Hearthstone? Love me some vampire killing with a crossbow!

Of all your posts on here this is by far the most baffling. I don't understand a word.
