GamePro: The 33 Best PS3 Games

GamePro writes: "Who says the PS3 doesn't have great games? Like its predecessors, Sony's next-gen console is destined to be the home of some truly awe-inspiring games, and already has a continually growing library of true gems to its credit. Here are thirty-three titles that every PlayStation 3 owner should have in their collection".

[Salta_nelas]

No Wipeout HD??

Those 10 first spots need a few tweaks imo.

[Trollimite]

i couldnt agree more!

the list is unorganized

[Orange]

WipeOut is a better choice than Super Stardust.

Eden is a better choice than Monsters.

Bioshock didn't wow me. It's solid, but the environments and scale are limited. Maybe an excursion into the sea in a pod? Would've been cool.

Ratchet is a little high.

I'd play LBP way more if i could install and play it off the HD.

Killzone still wows me.

Uncharted is King. #1.

[hulk_bash1987]

No Valkyria Chronicles, No go.

[Maddens Raiders]

is one hell of a roller coaster ride. Gotta love that ending!

[Guitarded]

Nice to see someone else aware that their opinion is uncalled for. I, too, feel the need to give my opinions when uncalled for. Only many times in a negative way, that as you may or may not be able to see has cost me a few bubbles. No point. Just an observation of the desire to voice ones opinion to possible opposition or agreement.

[FamilyGuy]

But they are missing quite a few fan favorites
Where's;

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm
Valkeria Chronicles
Demon's Souls
Soul Calibur IV

Is this list just best sellers or what?

Rag Doll Kung Fu I really liked but it seems not many share this opinion.

[Syronicus]

It should have been the top 40 games... Missing out on VC, Wipeout and a few others makes me wanna cry.

[I_am_rushin]

All those games are great, but the order is way off. Assassin's Creed better than inFamous? I don't think so!

[mastiffchild]

Any list that puts TES4 below the series lowpoint Fallout3 is full of fail in my book and the omission of VC just shows them up as being plain silly!

F3 is just not as good a game as Oblivion(even though it borrows much from it) and as a fan of the first Fallout games the near universal praise for a game with TWO borked combat systems is beyond me. The second best PS3 game? It isn't even the best Bethesda PS3 game!

[Trollimite]

the title should best games on ps3!

i thought they where talking about exclusives.
also i hope they arent in any spesific order, because any ps3 owner would pick killzone 2 over GTA4, i think...

[skygear75]

MGS4 is totally awesome :D! I'm playing it now.

[presto717]

Everything is just out of order.

FAIL.

[a_squirrel]

It's not IN order, although i would've liked some ragdoll kungfu

[doctorstrange]

Motorstorm - "About the only thing that's missing is split-screen multiplayer, which the sequel should be adding" wait, how old is this?

[Myzer]

The lack of Wipeout HD automatically invalidates this list.

[Shaka2K6]

.

[user3915800]

Be known that the 2 games that I played are MGS Garbage number 4, so much hype got me to buy this movie with lack of game play, and little pee planet, another waste of time.

PS3 its collecting dust after breaking down on me twice, and when Multy comes out I will be 99% sure that it will be better on the 360 and movies I watch them through steraming them on the 360 since they will be out before they will be on blu g@y anyways.

Yes, the PS3 its an obsolete garbage and a waste of my $600.00, I know they are cheaper now, but Im a true gamer that picks up anything I like, although I have no love for the patchstation 3, since I cosider it to be the worst garbage on the market today.

[Guitarded]

This list=Mega fail. PS3=MEGA FAIL! I no longer hate the Sony fanboys. You poor guys deserve my sympathy.

[a_squirrel]

yeah, they screwed up on the list, but seriously, these idiots above me are obviously... well you know xD

seriously you guys, if you dont got anything good to say, dont

[saimcheeda]

he thinks the list is fail not the ps3 dumbass....and if u think we aree sad, then how sad are u that ur trolling here?:P

[blackbeld]

Well MGS4 is on #1 that is true... but COD and KZ2 should be on 2nd or 3th place... So the list could be much better.... Also SF4 is missing in top 33... WTF.. Megafail list!!!! I agree with you ......

[keysy420]

this is the hardest game to find. still this is a good list just in the wrong order

[a_squirrel]

you my friend, should be in the gamer zone

but yeah...

(where's rag doll kung fu?)

[locos85]

True man. I'm banned here for another 15 days and I haven't made too many post. The open zone is full of tards that seem to be programmed to hate PS3 or 360. There doesn't seem to be any logical thinking in here.

I have both PS3 and 360 but seriously it should be all about the games, not what console you play it on.

On topic. I don't agree with Heavenly Sword or Infamous being so low on the list.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Little Big Planet should be #2. It seems like they just copy pasted the top 33 on metacritic...

[MiloGarret]

LBP should be #34, KZ2 should be #1 and Wipeout HD should be in the top ten.

[Marceles]

Valkyria Chronicles? Hell..Folklore is better than some games on the list.

[mastiffchild]

Hey, don't be knocking the 'Lore! I picked it up cheap and soon found myself needing to get the DLC! Shame that it wasn't pushed more as if more had played it the word of mouth might have made it a slow burner and we'd be getting a sequel!IDK quite what you'd call it though-JRPG? TP actioner? Whatever, it's quite a wierd game to pigeonhole but also a higly overlooked little gem, imo. Even gives a bit of replayability with the two characters and with some good Sixaxis stuff and quite pretty visuals(and nice artstyle esp for an early PS3 game)it's certainly something any PS3 gamer who hasn't played it should think about picking up as you can get it for a tenner new or a fiver preowned.

I know you weren't digging out Folklore but I just think it's a better game than people think sometimes.

[MetalGearBear]

MGS4 is king of PS3!!!!!

[a_squirrel]

poor guy, last time I saw you you had 5 bubbles, now look at you!

[raztad]

WTF?

That is the worst list I've seen in my life.

WTH is doing Fallout 3 in spot number 2? inFAMOUS SHOULD be among top 5. Take off Bioshock, Battlefield, and specially GTA4 <--one of the most boring games this gen. Where is Valkyrie Chronicles. Worst list EVER. It seems it was made by a BOT trying to look smart.

@squireel bellow

Not sure if you are joking or not, but in case you being serious. Red Faction:G > Battlefield.

[a_squirrel]

battlefield? hell no, you can BLOW UP WALLS MAN!!!

[Grandreaper9999]

The original red faction > than any game with destructible environments.

Until I can dig tunnels almost whenever i want, I'll stand by that. Breaking structures/walls gets old fast. Tunnel digging in Multiplayer never gets old. Especially with AI units that use them to schwump you.

[Perkel]

agree , gta4 would be more like 50 place to ma. bad company ? Bioshock ? Come one there are better games..

[APOFISBORICUA]

GTA4 definately is a boring game, but BIOSHOCK is an amazing game and Bad Company is very good too. i dont think that Fallout 3 and Rainbow six Vegas are meritorious to be on the list. Also the list is missing VC, Folklore and WIPEOUT HD. Also I believe that Prince of Persia is better than Assasins Creed.
Anyways top ten must be in no respective order:

UNCHARTED
Metal Gears Solid 4
Killzone 2
inFAMOUS
LBP
Ratchet and Clank
Call of Duty 4
Dead Space
Bioshock
Valkyria Cronicles

But thats just my opinion.

ALSO RED FACTION GUERILLA is THE MOST OVERRATED GAME OF THE YEAR!!!IMO. What have they done with my beloved RF series? The game is boring as hell!!!! Also PROTOTYPE is boring as Hell!!!

PEACE AND GAMING!

[Guitarded]

With that pathetic list of garbage, it's a wonder the PS3 is still on the market. Out nearly three years already and only three games on that list that remotely interest me(the rest of the world too, looking at the sales numbers of most of these games). That's sad.

[a_squirrel]

seriously, some guys in th open zone need to get a life

[dktxx2]

go read the comments on bloodmasks blogs. talk about a bunch of freakin weirdos.

[CobraKai]

Anyone who thinks the PS3 doesn't have great games, doesn't have a PS3.

[ultimatek1]

lol this is ridiculous, 33 game list, is this all?

[dktxx2]

read the title dummy.

[a_squirrel]

no, he's not a dummy, (although it is pretty funny) you just misunderstood him

He's trying to point out that it shouldn't be a list limited to 33, it should have MORE games

[dktxx2]

are you sure thats what hes saying?

[blacksheep14]

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was a bit boring to me. i dont think it deserves to be on the list

[dktxx2]

It a very good game, my most played online game this gen. i would say it could be in the top 30.

[stonecold3]

dont have game in the top 33 like ps3 just go and play your sales and sit there until theres and xbot game to come along xbot is out dated and xbot look like a dreamcast

[a_squirrel]

xbox360s don't look like dreamcast... they arnt as round, lol

just kidding, seriously, don't bash the bashers

[Aaron Greentard]

no motorstorm, warhawk, vakyria chronicles, folklore.

[a_squirrel]

there was motorstorm, one and 2

[fan_of_gaming]

are both on the list, Warhawk is #22 and Motorstorm is #14

[TheCagyDies]

MGS4 and UC:DF

[HDgamer]

Horrible lie here "You also get the butter-smooth online game Team Fortress 2."

That game isn't updated, the matches aren't butter smooth or even smooth more like rocky road. This list should've had Wipeout HD, Pixel Junk Eden, and other exclusive games. But pretty much 90% of the list is good.

[Persistantthug]

The Orange box, regardless if it was or wasn't good at launch, it's awesome now though.

[-MD-]

Uncharted should have been 1st IMO followed by Ratchet and Clank and then Resistance 2.

[madcowzz]

this list is actually not too bad.
i got 21/33 of those games on that list. still, like many said above me, it's missing Valkyria Chronicles, Folklore, PixelJunk Eden, and WipEout HD. those are essential.
imo these other games should have made the list: echochrome, Prince of Persia, flOw (even though it was acknowledged it still should have made the list), Rag Doll Kung Fu, and Siren: Blood Curse (i'm borderline with this one though).

[McMee]

@Madcowzz haha midway through my post I saw yours which was basically a condensed version of mine and just agreed instead.
Even a slight reorganization would help the list substantially though. Bottom line my top 5. Typical list but hey I like good games.

- MGS4
- UC:DF
- KZ2
- Ratchet & Clank
- InFamous

[Esena]

Yes. Quality is subjective. But so are opinions. I think PS3>360 because the quality of exclusive 360 games is lacking in all areas especially graphics. I must admit there are games that I feel I have missed out on. Just not enough to justify the price of a 360. Therefore my equation is
PS3>360

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

And I feel the same way about the ps3. Nothing really makes me want to put up all that money for a ps3. Uncharted, Resistance, and Motorstorm are the only games that I really enjoyed on the ps3. The 360 has more than I need to cover my gaming needs. Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Gears 2, Fable 2, Kameo, Halo 3, Crackdown, Left 4 Dead, Halo Wars, etc... are all gaming bliss. Add the fact that most multiplatform games run better and have better support on the 360 and you have an easy decision. For example, Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games this gen and I get to have all the DLC goodness.

[Traveler]

Sorry, but Dead Rising, Kameo and Crackdown are fairly average games to me. Not bad, but nothing that would make me want to buy a console. I have owned a 360 since launch and the only games I care about on it are Gears of War, Halo 3, Tenchu Z and Fable 2. Mass Effect would be on the list, but I bought the PC version. 4 games really isn't an impressive number after having owned the console for over 3 and a half years.

Anyway, I guess it just goes to show you that people's taste in games varies. I'm glad that there are consoles out there that appeal to those different tastes. I like the 360, but if I could only have one I would choose the PS3 in a heartbeat.

[militant07]

I only completed 2 games on ps3, MGS4 and Uncharted,

I have more games, but nothing interset me in completeing it...

so what you say ?1 year old console and only 2 games completed?

i completed bunch of games on X360 and own a good amount of games and i play xbox360 the most.

[hulk_bash1987]

Apparently you haven't hear that the PS3 is getting DLC for Fallout 3 as well. I respect your choice of gaming console, but I'd like to respectfully disagree, PS3 exclusives do more for me than 360. However, it doesn't mean I hate my 360 in any sense of the word.

[rukia_chan]

no killzone 2 in 1 in list : fail.

and wtf fallout 3 in second place? lawz!

[BannedForNineYears]

Holy crap, this is a terrible list!
He put the lost and damned picture on the GTA 4 section! The lost and damned isn't even on the PS3! HE FREAKING FAILS NOOB! GO KILL YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AXAXAX]

IMO.. Bioshock, Assasin's Creed and RE5 were the most BORING and REPEDITIVE big blockbuster games out on current gen. Oh add Orange Box to that list too...

That's fine if you disagree with me - just like I disagree with this list.

& how is infamous at #17 ?? I enjoyed it more than GTAIV

I love R&C series, but it was not better than LBP or KZ2

I've had it with these lists.

[commodore64]

.. oh wait.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

1. Uncharted
2. Motorstorm
3. Resistance 2
4. Motorstorm 2
5. Resistance

[Superduper09]

InFAMOUS > Assassin's Creed. I have both games.
Valkryia Chronicles should've been on the list :(

[Power_Of_Flops_]

We couldn't even make such a list for the 360.

Are there 33 good games on 360 ?

[Traveler]

Like I said in the gamer zone, I have owned a 360 since it launched and there are only about 4 or 5 games that I care about on the console: Gears of War 1 & 2, Halo 3, Tenchu Z (not great at all, but I am a fan of the franchise) and Fable 2. Of course there are some good multiplatform games that I enjoy, such as Mass Effect, Bioshock, Dead Space and Assassin's Creed, but most of those I bought for the PC (except for Dead Space, which I bought for the PS3 because I got a good deal on it).

That said, it would not be hard to make a list of 33 good 360 games, as long as multiplatform games were included.

[-MD-]

Notice how 30 of these games are multiplatform lol.

[kraze07]

MGS4 definitely deserves its spot at the top IMO.

[Traveler]

I respect that. For me Uncharted would take the top spot, with MGS4 coming in a close second. Killzone 2 would be in the third spot, etc...

[xdye017]

They forgot to put Haze on top 1.

[Power_Of_Flops_]

Or Too Human. Er, wait...

[locos85]

Haze wasn't that bad. It was just over hyped in my opinion.

[UziSuicide]

I get the impression the list was a bit of a lark considering some of the positions of those games.

Not to mention the 'exclusive' 360 DLC screenshot for GTA.

[Sitdown]

why do they double up Skate 1/2 and Motorstorm 1/2, but separate Resistance 1 and 2? In addition, does nobody outside of me appreciate Hot Shots Golf?

[SeraphimBlade]

Though MGS4 deserves the top spot, its just plain moronic that Valkyria Chronicles isn't on the list at all. That deserves to be somewhere in the top 10.

[Rocky87]

1. Killzone 2
2. Uncharted
3. Metal Gear Solid 4
4. Infamous

[ultimolu]

I do agree with a few that were listed here buuut...they are missing a few more.

[ShadowMantis]

MGS...and Resistance

[AXAXAX]

my favorites in no order

KZ2
Warhawk
Uncharted
Motorstorms
MGS4

... all Sony's... :)

not to mention almost all of my 20 or so games are Sony published.
