Bioshock. Best PS3 game I have ever played, hands down. Can be had for $20 or less nowadays.

Besides that... Call of Duty 4? It might not be down to the $30 mark yet, but if it is, you should definitely get it.

Assassin's Creed is always good, and MGS4 might be up your alley if 1.) it's down to $30 and 2.) you can stand the ridiculously overwrought story packaged with it.

But I dunno. Depends on what you like, I suppose.

WELL... The God of War Collection (God of War 1 and 2) should be just around $30 now, if not less. They're still awesome games, if you don't mind the somewhat dated graphics. (Though I suppose that's stretching things a bit. They still both have ridiculous graphics.)

Little Big Planet might be up your alley if you're into level creation and platforming. That said, LBP2 is coming out this winter, and it's supposed to have a feature that allows you to create your own games out of it (like side-scrolling shooters, puzzle games, etc.).

MGS4 is still a good choice. Again, if you can stomach the godawful storytelling.

The Ninja Gaiden Sigmas are also good. The first more than the second, but mostly because the second suffers from the same stupid pitfalls of cheap deaths that the original Ninja Gaiden 2 does.

For shooters, Resistance: Fall of Man are good. The first one gets a bit tedious and samey after a while, but it's still a good game. The second one I haven't played yet, but I've heard it's a bit better (but also probably a bit more expensive).

...and I'm just grabbing all these games off of Wikipedia, so maybe you should check there instead. You can list the games by exclusivity, release date, name, etc., so finding one within your price range shouldn't be too difficult.

EDIT:

And also the Uncharted games. I've played the second one, it's great, and the first one is just as good.
