Hey everyone. Here's my top 10 games that come from my favourite console of all time. Up until recently Ps3 has always been second best to the ps2 but I truly think it's the best. It's got backwards compatibility for ps1 games and some models have ps2. It's home to biggest collection of games and some of my favourites.
Before I start the list I want to mention a couple of things. I have eliminated Ps2 remasters from the selections because they are ps2 games and not ps3 BUT there will be one on here because I experienced the game on ps3 and not on ps2 so I consider it a ps3 game. I will keep this list to one per series because that's a better way to represent my love for a series. There are also multiplat games but they will only be on here if I own them on ps3 so games like Saints Row won't be here since I don't own it on ps3.
Also a special mention to the Uncharted series which I will be getting into shortly. Also a very special mention to Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction which was narrowly beaten by ***********.
Alright let's go!
#10-Heavenly Sword
We're starting with a Ps3 hidden gem. A ps3 exclusive that really went under the radar due to the ps3's poor performance in 2007. This game stars Nariko, the daughter of the leader of the village chief who, while they were under attack, decided to wield the Heavenly Sword. A sword of great power but comes at a cost, after they are done, the user dies. This game is truly great. The combat is akin to a hack and slash but offers a bit more depth. The game looks nothing short of amazing, especially considering that the game was made in 2007. With great graphics, a great story, great combat and badass main character, you can't go wrong with Heavenly Sword.
#9-ICO
You know all that buzz with The Order 1886 being a 5 hour game and just being a cinematic experience ? Well here's a game that can be finished in 2 hours and is a cinematic experience. So why all the hate ? This game can be described in one word, Magical. This game is absolutely beautiful, story, visuals, characters not combat though, that's poop :P This game is something that will touch your heart. It's an experience, something that if you haven't experienced, you should. Like right now. I'm serious, go buy it
#8-Sleeping Dogs
Oh boy this game. This game is honestly fantastic. It's an open world game, where you can drive cars and you sometimes shoot people. According to the internet, yes. I'm not gonna lie, I went into this expecting GTA in China but I got something so much better. Yeah there are similarities but there's so many different things to set it apart from GTA. For example, a competent story and a protagonist that's actually likeable (This is before GTA V btw). Any thought of GTA was expelled from my mind when I was like halfway through the game, this is it's own game and deserves to be seen as that. I love almost everything about this game, combat, vehicles, action hijacks and various others. It's a great game from start to finish, though the final boss is kinda disappointing and honestly, I wanted a bit more as I feel the story resolved a bit too quickly.
#7-Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja 3
Now I loved the first part of Naruto, after Shippuden the series kinda went downhill for me and I was no longer the fanboy I used to be. But after an impulse buy I got this and man is this game fun. It's a seriously fun game and the jutsus get pretty awesome, my personal favourite being Sasuke's Kirin. Though I do have a complaint, getting an S rank on the final fight is insanely difficult and I have yet to do that. The fighting is pretty cool too making it on of my favourite 3D fighters. This ripped from my Top 20 list, because honestly I don't have much else to say. It's a great game and I'm fighting game fan thorough and through.
#6- InFamous
Good or Bad ? No matter which you choose, you're still a badass. This game is fantastic. Sucker Punch did a fantastic job in creating this new universe and as far as I know, they have a perfect track record when it comes to games. The game incorparets a morality system which isn't as much of deal as it was back then after the likes of this game and Fable. The powers Cole gets are really fun to mess around with and make the game really interesting. Your morality also determines which powers you can get which is also cool. One of my favourite parts of the game though is the atmosphere. Sucker Punch absolutely nailed the shitty hellhole that is Empire City and you can feel it as soon as you start.
#5-Playstation All Stars Battle Royale
I love this game. It's a great party brawler despite what people who haven't played it have said. It's not a smash clone, it's its own game and if you don't believe me then go play it, if you don't want to then shut up. That's all I have to say
#4-Dragonball Z Budokai HD collection
Like I said before I love me my fighting games. The Dragonball Z games are among some of favourites in the genre and Budokai 3 my favourite overall. Like I said before, these are the kind of games that my cousin and I would play to death as little kids. I'd always win because I was superior in everything we did, related to video games anyway :P One of the definitive multiplayer experiences for me. It will always be that too, you can't beat this game in opinion, you can try but you won't succeed. The Budokai games will always be on top of the DBZ game pile.
#3-Rayman Origins
Holy creativity Batman! It's rare that a game gives me warm fuzzy feeling that's not from nostalgia but this game managed that with great ease. The visuals are beautiful. The music is absolutely fantastic. In fact, I'm listening to the soundtrack while doing this list. I just love everything about this game, the humour is great, the story knows it's nothing special and works with it, the difficulty actually increases smoothly as you progress and it even has rage quit sections in the form of treasure chest chases. Really, ask anyone those things are fun but really annoying and frustrating. This is really a game that you should go out and experience for yourself
#2-Sly Cooper Thieves in Time
You know, despite my absolute love for this game, it's really difficult for me to give you a good opinion on this game. I think it's too easy, very forgiving with it's checkpoints and not the best looking. It looks fantastic but I've seen better from years before. Despite all that, the game is just so charming, with all it's corny jokes, the character interaction, the characters themselves and the level design. I really believe that you should try this game out.
And number one is................................ (Cue drumroll)
#1-Ratchet and Clank A Crack in time
Here it is! The one that narrowly beat out Tools of Destruction. It was hard to choose between this and Tools of Destruction while I thought that this game had better gameplay, humour and a better challenge, Tools of Destruction had better Level design, story and weapons. This game came out on top because of one thing and one thing only, Dr Nefarious. Otherwise known as my favourite video game character of all time! This game was a treat. The gameplay, the story, the exploration possibilities, the beautiful scenery and the visuals. The awesome and improved Clank gameplay just made this a fantastic package. Not that damn my blaster runs hot trophy, that can go jump and river and sleep with the fishes. This is my number one ps3 game and should you really be shocked ? Anyone who knows me knows I'm a total Ratchet fanboy.
And there you have it, my top 10 ps3 games. Anyone reading this should make one of their favourite console too
