This game alone makes the PS3 worth owning.
I really don't think this needs an explanation. Although I have to say - my experience with the game was very buggy. Looking past some of these bugs though the game delivers on all fronts.
An open world game that feels fresh and inspired? In 2009? Yes it is true and it is only on the PS3.
This one may be an iffy addition to a list that touts "Games that make X system worth owning," but nevertheless I feel it is appropriate. This game is brutal and not afraid to be such. The game is a lot of fun once you get your bearings though and I have found it to be one of the most rewarding games to play. Once you get used to how the game works a bit, there is a lot of fun to be had and quite a bit of depth. I highly recommend this title for hardcore gamers, but the casual should be wary. I think because it caters to the hardcore that alone is reason enough to feature it on the list as it relates to a unique demographic :)
I have to admit, I haven't played much of the R&C series. I played the very first game - which I loved at the time - but never came back to the series. When I had heard all of the fanfare over the last title in the series I knew I needed to check it out. Many months after having this notion, it finally came in the mail via Gamefly and what I have played is a very fun and lighthearted game. It is a serious game at the core, mechanical level, but as far as story goes, it is a fun, non-serious romp. Definitely check it out if you like mashers.
LBP is my dream come true. I have always enjoyed games that allow me to make games/levels (StarCraft and WarCraft 3 mostly). The editor is deep, but I feel that it could have a LOT more tools added that would give it sooooooo much more functionality and open even more doors for creativity.
The game is a lot of fun and definitely huge fan service in it for all MGS lovers... that said, I felt completely underwhelmed by this game personally but if you own the PS3 this game is still certainly worth checking out.
This game looks gorgeous and has a class system ala TF2 / Battlefield. The multiplayer is the real meat of this title as the singleplayer only offers cliche characters and a boring story that feels like it was put together over a night of madlibs gone awry. That said it is a lot of fun online and as far as shooters go on the PS3 it has probably the largest community.
You know, some of the people have commented this game shouldn't be on the list. I disagree. Heavy Rain is an unusual "game" and while the actual 'playing' of Heavy Rain is little more than quick time events the odd narrative kept me interested enough to keep on playing. Heavy Rain isn't the kind of game that I would want to play all of the time, but it does offer something that you don't see very often in games - for better or worse.
Original game? Check. Great graphics? Check. Interesting protagonist? Check. Tight controls? Good story? Sequel worthy? Check. Check. Check. Game is a winner. EDIT: Well this game's sequel has arrived and the sequel takes everything that was so great about Uncharted and makes it look like child's play. That isn't to say this game isn't still an amazing title, but you should certainly play it before Uncharted 2, and I do not say that just because it is the first in the series, but I say it mostly because this game's experience will pale in comparison to its critically acclaimed sequel.
