Soul Calibur does, as I descovered. Perhaps that wasn't the best
fighting game to start out with on the PS3.

Depends on what console you have though, Brian, as Super smash bros
is a nintendo exclusive. I'd recommend Mortal Kombat to start off
with as that series of game even those for the ps2 doesn't really
have too complex of an engine.

Super Smash Bros. Melee is also fairly plyable as long as you
consider the fact that you often have the environments of each
arena working against you as well as your opponent's attacks. I own
it and I've been playing it for about five years now.

Hi Lindsay,
I guess it really depends on what you view as accessible, and how
much work you are willing to put into practicing the game to make
it playable by you.
For example the fighting games like Mortal Kombat are all fairly
accessible once you memorize the menus, and have another blind or
sighted gamer walk you through it a couple of times.
The WWE wrestling games like WWE Smackdown vs Raw are accessible
once you learn the different moves, sounds, and memorize a few
things. Brandon Coal has a podcast around somewhere on WWE
Smackdown VS Raw, and it is a great introduction into the
wrestling games for the PS2 and PSP.
The Tomb Raider series of games I really like aren't accessible as
such, but can be played with some sighted asistance. I have
however discovered some tips and tricks that helps me get around
in the games. For example, as long as I keep Lara Croft in walk
mode I won't fall off of ledges, buildings, etc. I can walk her
right up to an edge, she will stop, and then I can use the reverse
safety drop command to safely turn her around and have her drop to
the ground below. It took me lots and lots of practice. As far as
jumping over stuff I try to time the jump by counting the time I
have Lara in the air. Still some guess work involved, but I can
usually do it if I am consistent about counting the time. I
wouldn't recommend something as complex as TR for your first PS2
game.
Like I said if you really want something somewhat easy to learn
and play try a fighting game like Mortal Kombat or similar as a
start. Those you can get the hang of fairly quickly. As for other
games I suggest renting them and trying them out before you
actually buy it to see if it is somewhat playable or not.
