Refine See titles to watch instantly, titles you haven't rated, etc. Yet, some games are better than others, and the PS3's library is no exception to this rule. Here are the best PS3 games to quench your gaming thirst. Each game ramps up the stakes and the excitement, and while many consider Uncharted 2 to be the best, we are giving it to Uncharted 3.
There are a few reasons for this. For one, Naughty Dog further improved the combat in this game, particularly hand-to-hand combat. The game also made stealth a viable option for some combat scenarios to get the upper hand. The action sequences are also bigger and more intense than ever, and technical achievements of the game are what add to this. Naughty Dog made an entirely new engine just to make a natural ocean sequence for one part of the game.
The story is also the best of the series. The entire Uncharted series is required playing for any PS3 owner, but we think Uncharted 3 stands among the best of them and deserves the most attention. Also released on PS4, the creative platformer brought all the charm of the previous two games with more features and creative options than ever. For one, the sense of scale in the game is greatly improved in nearly every aspect of the game.
Whereas every player played as some iteration of Sackboy, there are now four sack people to choose from in LittleBigPlanet 3. That makes each player a bit more distinguishable and offers additional customization options. The game is also fully voice-acted. Whereas the other two games featured the narrator as the driving voice, LittleBigPlanet 3 has a full cast complete with an antagonist and each character has an accompanying voice actor.
It gives Adventure mode a larger sense of scale and gives players more reason to press forward. In terms of collectibles, there are additional stickers, outfits, and scenery pieces. However, the most significant thing in LittleBigPlanet 3 is its compatibility with the other two games. All the content from the prior games -including user created content- are compatible with LittleBigPlanet 3.
There are also more options in create mode, with players being able to use up to 16 layers to design levels. The God of War released on PS4 was a heart-felt and epic game that continues the story of Kratos, and it is one of the best games of the current console generation.
The game takes place well before the events of the PS4 game; before Kratos had redeemed part of his humanity. After Kratos mistakenly kills his family in the events of the first game, he becomes the god of war after killing Ares.
Then, in God of War II he discovers that his father is Zeus and that all the gods are deserving of punishment. The game is the first in the series to be rendered in HD, and the game uses that improved fidelity to ramp up the violence. There are also some thrilling action sequences that see Kratos climbing Mount Olympus and slaying titans. When it was announced that the developer would be taking the GTA formula to the Wild West in Read Dead Redemption , it was met with excitement and skepticism.
No one was sure if an open world cowboy game would be as engaging as something more compact like Grand Theft Auto. The skepticism was quickly put to rest, though. Red Dead Redemption was met with critical praise, and the open-ended formula of Grand Theft Auto was a natural fit for the sprawling setting of fictional New Austin.
Players take on the role of John Marston, a former outlaw turned rancher and family man, who is picked up by a pair of mysterious government agents.
Their instructions are clear. John must hunt down members of his old gang or John will never see his family again. Then you are set loose on an open world that covers dusty ranges, wide open plains, and political conflict in Mexico.
It is a massive game that deals with absolute freedom versus the constraints of civilization. There are also tons of animals to be hunted, treasures to be found, and bandits to be captured or killed. The game is almost overwhelming in how much there is to do.
The Game of the Year edition also includes the Undead Nightmare : a tongue in cheek zombie-packed add-on. At the launch of the PS3 and Xbox , each had their exclusive shooters to entice consumers into investing in their consoles. Microsoft had Gears of War , and Sony had Resistance. While Gears of War had more longevity as a series, Resistance was still a high-quality sci-fi shooter that was inventive and influential in its own right. The first game offered impressive visuals alongside a race of horrifying invading creatures.
Resistance 2 upped the stakes and included more sci-fi weaponry, but went a little wonky in the story. Resistance has always stood above its peers in humanizing its cast, and that is particularly true in Resistance 3. Taking place four years after the second game, the human resistance against the invading Chimera is all but dissolved.
Protagonist Joseph Capelli is living in a human settlement with his wife and young son, but must leave them behind to head to New York in a last ditch effort to close a wormhole that spells doom for the human race. The desperation of the characters and their personal motivations in the conflict is never lost, and that is what makes the game so memorable. Combine that with the brutal combat and array of weapons in your arsenal, and Resistance 3 is as fun as it is engaging.
Indie developers have made incredible artistic achievements in the past decade. Some of them have created games so simple and beautiful they would go on to influence the indie scene and the industry at large for years to come. LittleBig Planet Developer Media Molecule bought the PS3 a potential mascot in the sweet-looking Sackboy, and gave the system an exclusive that truly felt like a game of its generation. As an actual platformer it was charming enough, without being spectacular, but it was the creation tools that sparked the imagination, and produced some inspired player-created levels.
Linked combat alongside clever levelling schemes and a narrative told in a big way will have players aching to play through as both protagonists; Milla and Jude.
Released in the West on the eve of a new generation, Tales of Xilla gave the then-wheezing PS3 another quality shot in the arm. LittleBigPlanet 2 Bigger, better, more was the mission statement for LittleBigPlanet 2 , and it definitely delivered that. LittleBigPlanet 2 offered more variety in gameplay terms and subsequently pushed the creative side to new places as well.
Inarguably the best game in the series from a quality standpoint. Lee Everett and his ward Clementine stole the hearts of players, before trying to crush the aforementioned organ with some gut-wrenchingly devastating scenes. Telltale have not quite reached this peak again since, but that was never going to be an easy thing. Vanquish Vanquish is short, sweet and gloriously frenetic fun. Playing as a cyber-suited, knee-sliding, cigarette-smoking cliche of an action hero as he tears up enemies in a ballet of violence should be a pleasure reserved for two generations prior, but Vanquish was sprinkled with that red-hot Platinum Games magic dust and became quite the cult favorite, as shown by its inclusion here.
Tools of Destruction changed little from the winning formula of the PS2 outings, but the extra grunt ensured it was shinier and slicker than ever. A rare case of more of the same, but better being absolutely fine. First-person parkour in a brilliant-white futuristic dystopia? You can see where the appeal lies. The fifth chapter arrived after the PS4 arrived, but what a fitting end to the generation it was.
Long term fans will know just how magical Yakuza 5 was, and still is. Instead, we got a WWII shooter…with a twist. Mass Effect 3 Was the ending a criminal act? Depends who you ask, but fumbled finale aside, Mass Effect 3 brought the story of Commander Shepard to a rousing end. Sucker Punch went some way to correcting this with a bigger, more vibrant sequel set in a New Orleans-inspired city and some fancy new powers. It upped the mission variation, and pushed the ongoing story into more interesting places.
Written and directed by Andy Serkis King Kong, Lord of the Rings , as well as future Tomb Raider writer Rhianna Pratchett , Heavenly Sword told a visually handsome tale of Nariko, a flame-haired warrior thought to be a prophesied divine warrior who finds herself thrust into a battle with the evil King Bohan Serkis and embroiled in the search for the titular sword.
Heavenly Sword was a stunning-looking game for its time, holding up well even now. A little Yakuza here, a pinch of Arkham Asylum there, a touch of Burnout , and many others. Sleeping Dogs was a surprise hit that many were hopeful for a sequel of, but that sadly looks further away than ever given recent events with the developer. It takes the best of the final fantasy series and makes it modern but without losing the feeling of nostalgia.
Making it accessible for consoles. The first game's user-content creation tools were a revolution in player freedom, and the sequel not only refines these options, but expands them to allow you - yes, you - to create not only fresh levels, but whole new stories, worlds and even games. And the stuff the community has created is unbelievable. No, LittleBigPlanet 2 doesn't have as sophisticated a platforming system as the Marios and Raymans of this world it's still heaps of fun, regardless , but to judge the game on these terms is as short-sighted as dismissing War and Peace because you don't like the font it's printed in.
Simply put, this is one of the most important, relevant, and entertaining games on any PlayStation. View on Amazon. Hotline Miami is the game your parents always warned you about back in the s, a video game from an alternate universe where Reagan became Forever President and The Running Man is actually a real thing you can watch on TV. Don a rubber animal mask of your choosing and wander into one of a few dozen pixelated murder carnivals to waste every mook in sight, as the background colors pulsate along with the way-too-cool-for-you synthwave soundtrack.
Hotline Miami is raw, punk fury, a hypnotic display of hyperviolence one step away from pure, unadulterated anarchy - Just don't tell your parents. How do you make the best superhero game of all time better?
You add a whole lot more of it and drop all of that into one of the best-realized open-world cities ever seen in a game. Smartly choosing fidelity, personality, and meaningful design over sheer scale for scale's sake, Rocksteady's quarantined chunk of Gotham is one of the most striking, affecting, and most entirely purposeful environments seen in an entire generation.
Letting the empowering yet perfectly balanced mechanics of the first game really fly, literally and figuratively, Arkham City s structure is an equally grand victory in both gameplay and aesthetic terms. But just as importantly, it never dominates or detracts from what made Arkham Asylum great.
The same mix of intelligent, creative sandbox stealth and taxing, thrilling, almost musical combat still underpins everything and is even better than it ever was before. That Arkham City also plays host to a Batman story dark, dramatic, and entirely epic enough to stand up in any medium is just the icing on the utility cake.
It shouldn't have worked. It shouldn't have even been attempted. It should have been a dumbed-down, lite-RPG cyberpunk shooter with a recognizable name stapled on. But miraculously, Eidos Montreal's Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the real thing, a layered, complex, entirely player-driven action RPG with freedom, creative thinking, and choice at the core of its every element.
Effectively whatever game you want it to be, it's even more impressive that DE:HR manages to offer so much customization of experience while also being so coherent. Its dense story of conspiracy and philosophical tension - both global and personal - will drag you along whatever you choose your character's stance to be, and the cohesive, lived-in nature of its world-building is second to none.
When Burnout Paradise came out, multiplatform games were always better on Xbox Not so this. It revised the Burnout formula too, combining an open-world city and surrounding countryside to race around.
But the wealth of enjoyable things to do make this better than EA's more recent Need for Speed outings. It's in the little things, like trying to handbrake-turn your car into a parking space for which it grades you or trying to leap down the side of a mountain and land without totaling your car. DLC patches even fixed the few annoyances in the original release's structure, meaning this truly is a Burnout-themed paradise.
Great soundtrack, too. The Resistance series went from a decent launch game to a disappointing sequel to FPS masterpiece over the course of the PS3's lifespan.
It's a shame then, that Resistance 3 - the FPS masterpiece from the first sentence - signaled the end of the series. There's something so utterly right about R3. It's the way the alternate-reality '50s setting combines with the mad, yet satisfying, alien weaponry, and mixes in with the heart-warming story of a father protecting his family that makes this game a stand-out.
Each stage is well-pitched too - there are few, if any, weak moments - and the combat is slicker than a gull plucked from the Gulf of Mexico. Every time you think you've got it nailed, the story throws another situation or problem at you, forcing you to adapt and explore the game's versatility even further.
Which you'll gladly do to bring Joe Capelli's sad, hopeful tale to its thrilling conclusion. Lots of games talk about how big they are, but few offer a wealth of wildly entertaining and bizarre things to do like the Yakuza games. At its heart, Yakuza 5 is a deeply serious story of the Japanese criminal underworld, of evil men doing bad things and righteous men ripping their shirts off in one swift motion to stop them in hand-to-hand combat.
But Yakuza 5 isn't just a brawler. It's also a taxi driving sim; a hunting game; and a Japanese pop idol sim complete with dance battles!
It's got baseball minigames, ramen cooking minigames, stand-up comedy minigames, an arcade with damn-near full versions of Virtua Fighter 2 and Taiko Drum Master, and so much more - and all of these pursuits are fun in their own unique ways.
Yakuza 5 is an exuberant abundance of gritty crime drama and abject silliness, and while it may not be the best place to hop in for newcomers, it's got more than enough goodies inside to entertain anyone. Whatever you think of COD's current state, there's no denying that Modern Warfare was a watershed moment for games. Not only did it revive the tired FPS genre, and transform Call of Duty from ok shooter into OMG shooter, it set a benchmark for multiplayer gaming and provided an incredible, 8 hour rollercoaster of a story that few have matched since.
The ghillie suit stage, the opening scenes on the tanker, that ending - Modern Warfare is stuffed full of memorable moments.
