Coolest game ever for ps3

A shame that it too suffered the fate of those that came before it, and ended up shelved indefinitely after the third entry became more action shooter than action horror. It seems almost laughable to think of Call of Duty as groundbreaking anymore, but there was of course a time nearly a decade ago where that was very true.

Modern Warfare brought online multiplayer shooters to the masses, and played a massive part in how big the gaming industry has become for better and worse. Mere months after launch, the PS3 really needed something new, something fresh, something with a hint of promise as a potential moneymaker. It was rough round the edges, but the action set pieces, and the camaraderie between Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan, gave the game that aforementioned promise in spades.

Needless to say, this was the first step towards building a brand new successful franchise for Sony, and the re-invigoration of Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter creators, Naughty Dog. Shepard meets people of all species along the way to visiting a host of memorable planetscapes, all of which were burned in the minds of players long after the credits rolled.

After two games set in the undersea city of Rapture, Bioshock Infinite took to the clouds to deliver us unto Columbia, the floating city. A whole heap of mystery, imagery that sticks in your head, and and end point that throws up some interesting questions about the series as a whole.

Now there was an open world that combined the labyrinthine corridors of Asylum with sheer depth and many a neon-struck street for Batman to patrol. Some prefer the more condensed nature of Asylum, but City gave more balance to Batman the detective, and Batman the vigilante.

When a game like Valkyria Chronicles releases only a niche group of people really notice. Thankfully the that niche group made their voices heard people started to take notice. Praised by critics and consumers a like, this tactical role-playing game took the scene by storm reaching praise not seen since the release of Final Fantasy Tactics.

Set in a fictional World War II and tells a gripping and emotional story, its unique blend of tactical action combat and strategic troop placement made for some exciting battles.

For those who missed it on the PS3 can give the game a go on their PS4 as Sega released a remastered version early in GTA IV gets an unusual amount of flak, but looking back, you can understand why to a degree. Truth is, the return to Liberty City was huge, but it was more about actual depth of detail. San Andreas may have been an epic sprawl of three cities, but it was quite sparse for details, GTA IV succeeded in making something closer to a living city by condensing the outward size for a tighter, more visually active map.

The change of character was also important. Its games Flow and Flower were warmly-received independent darlings, but with Journey the company transcended studio size. Journey is two hours long, and in those two hours you get something absolutely magical and unlike anything else on PS3. Visually and audibly breathtaking despite its relatively meagre budget, and hugely affecting despite a lack of dialogue. Journey is spellbinding. A mishmash of American and European culture that results in odd accents and some improbable visual design choices.

So why is Heavy Rain in the top 10? This was a gloriously hammy B-movie that you could control. At the time, this branching interactive adventure had something about it that nothing else on PS3 did, and as goofy as it could be, it had some genuine stand out moments.

Votes: 22, But with that all in mind, here are our picks for the top 10 PS3 games of all time. Have you played Batman: Arkham City? Fighting games were in a rough place prior to , but Street Fighter 4 brought the series back to the roots of its popularity, including the more popular cast from Street Fighter 2. Its highly stylized art style proved odd but ultimately appealing, and its online play was serviceable enough that the genre no longer felt like a total nonstarter. It was the genre's bedrock game through the release of Ultra Street Fighter 4, which most consider to be Street Fighter 4's apex due to its large roster and strong balance.

Its influence has since waned, but it is inarguably one of the most important games in the genre's history, and still one of the PS3's best games. The ability to experiment with new parts to customize your weapons and the addition of Hoverboots add a lot more mechanical depth to the combat and exploration.

Add on top of that a moving story that really digs into why the titular duo is so enduring - and has endured for so long - and A Crack in Time delivers one of the best action games on the PS3. Batman blew the doors off what the Arkham franchise could be, extending out beyond the confines of its prior though still fantastic first entry, Arkham Asylum, for a larger, engrossing sequel.

While it does have a story mode with over 50 levels, the robust and refined customization notches it above the original LittleBigPlanet for us, and demonstrated the imaginative possibilities Media Molecule has continued to explore in Dreams. Portal 2 is the perfect example of what a sequel can be. The writing is funnier, the campaign longer and more layered in its puzzles and storytelling. Inspire teammates, ignite the fans and change the momentum of a game by instigating scrums, drawing penalties, and mixing it up - all after the referee blows the whistle!
