Default What to play?

Looking for a game to play. I have a PS3. A decent story is important. Linear gameplay/not a sandbox. Definitely no turn based combat. As little level grinding as possible. On the easier side of the difficulty spectrum. Non-cartoonish art style if possible.

Not too important; however a game with some Platformer/RPG/Puzzle elements might be the most fitting.
Edit: Nothing of the horror genre.

Dragon Age 2, I guess. Sounds like what you want. Origins is too repetitive.

Your request is... rather odd, though. Linear, but good story, with easy gameplay and no grinding. Why don't you just watch or read something?

I greatly enjoyed Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 on the RPG side of things. If you're looking for MORE of a challage, I highly reccomend Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. Ridiculously hard, but at the same time, once you overcome anything you feel like you actually acomplished something.

On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, Katamari Forever. You play as a cosmic prince pushing a ball that you use to roll things up to make a bigger ball so that you can roll up larger things. Probably one of the goofiest game series I have ever played, and most likely my favorite too.

Since you're asking for game suggestions, I'm going to assume that you've already played Metal Gear Solid 3-4.

If you want something different, there's always Alpha Protocol.

Yeah, the controls are more than a little wonky, and the game is silly-easy to break if you focus on pistols. But it has one of the more solid and player-adaptive stories I've seen.
