Ever since the original Hot Shots Golf expertly dumbed down the snooty sport for the unwashed gaming masses, successive versions have played it pretty damned safe, offering the same easy-breezy game mechanics with minimal tweaks and additions. Inaugural PS3 installment Out of Bounds keeps that legacy largely intact -- returning vets will quickly acclimate to the well-designed courses, doe-eyed avatars (now eerily surrealistic Hummel figurines thanks to the PS3 visuals), and forgiving swing system.

They're quite awesome, too. Sony's stable of exclusives have significantly improved over the past generation, offering content that you cannot find anywhere else but PlayStation. This top ten list features what I consider to be the ten best Sony franchises. From Kratos to Nathan Drake, Jak and Daxter to Ratchet & Clank, and Wipeout to Gran Turismo, PlayStation fans have been spoiled rotten by these franchises."
Dafuq? Infamous is easily top 5 Sony material. I enjoyed it way more than Killzone or Gran Turismo.
WHAT ?! infamous games are one of the best this gen
and also 10 sony's franchises is not fair since they have alot more of amazing franchises
inFamous should have made the list, but if it isn't too much trouble, can you please edit your comment to let's say, Hotshots Golf or something? I mean not WipEout man, not my beloved WipEout HD Fury online Eliminator. With the 2097 hud & soundtrack. With the female announcer. Contender...eliminated:)
Thanx
Freaking A right. Infamous is hands down one of the best Sony franchises around.
where the heck is infamous,it deserves a spot on that list,though it is a top 10,id probably swipe infamous in for hot shots golf,only because hot shots isnt my type of game.
If this were my list, Yakuza and Infamous would without question be at the top of the list.
To my knowledge, there has never been a Yakuza game created for a non- Sony platform. So its a Sony platform exclusive. But I see what your saying. You mean games published by Sony.
Dude you and your delusional logics, Yakuza isn't a Sony IP, and isn't published by Sony, the only reason you don't see the Yakuza games on any other platform is because when they first worked on the first game, it was supposed to be a multiplat, but of the 3 console makers, only Sony gave them the green light as opposed to Nintendo & Microsoft. It is a 3rd party game regardless of exclusivity, the article is about 1st party games, if Sony ever bought the riggts for the IP, then yeah it should be on the list!
It is very evident you want to add something that has nothing to do with the subject to get other people angry, keep your "Logics" somewhere!
Where the heck is Infamous? Also add the recently Gravity rush to the list too. It should belong to sonys exclusive powerhouses

Will be picking up LBPK for 10 dollars. This might be the closest PS3 users will get to a steam sale on PSN.
A step in the right direction, Sony.
@Nitrowolf2, I have the Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank collections on Disc, but if I didn't that would be a great way to get into those games.
Unfinished Swan was on sale during the Holiday Essentials sale and I missed it, so this time I don't plan on doing that again.
The Unfinished Swan – Regular $14.99, Sale $7.49, PS Plus $3.75
Ratchet & Clank – Regular $14.99, Sale $7.49, PS Plus $3.75
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy – Regular $7.99, Sale $3.99, PS Plus $2.00
Already have the colelction, but since I'm Plus those prices are just to good to miss.
Those are the three I'm planning on getting :P
I think. lol.
Great sale!
Edit: LBP Karting looks fun too, though. Not sure whether to get LBPK and US or US, R&C, and J&D. I need a sale where all four of those cost $15 haha.
@Calis
Yeah I am, $2.00 is dirt cheap, it'll be nice to have the extra digital version.
Those are actually some really great PS Plus discounts, especially for the likes of LBP Karting and Unfinished Swan
What is that I read on the title? Games and MOVIES? can someone check up on that? is this true? or just a bad title..
To hear some people talk you’d think sport starts and ends with football. Obviously that’s not the case so here are 8 of the best non-footy athletic activities. From face kicking to golf. Yes, golf.
Is it bad that THIS game is almost enough to convince me to get a PS3?
I guess I've always been a closet HSG fan.
Ballin!
