It's Bank Holiday weekend, but no rest for the wicked. Especially when PlayStation 3 is celebrating its first birthday. Yep, Sony's sleek stunner of a console is one on Sunday, and we thought we'd put together a top ten list of the very best games you can buy.

I agree with the first two. But, not a big fan of Resistance.

Your avatar is my most anticipated game though.

Yes. The Ghost of Sparta will be awesome as hell and will rule all. The bloodiest game of 09. Believe.

I am not too hot on RFOM either.

Immersion in games is important for me, and when I am shooting in RFOM, it feels I am sliing along on ice, and shooting BB pellets at really weak ugly creatures.

P.S
And i will get tons of diagrees, but i can see how awful a democracy this site can be with my bubbles. Just look back in my comments to see if I deserve it.

1.6 - Don't worry
Breakfast I feel the same way.. RFOM was a big let down for me, it felt like a generic shooter from start to finish. It was Insomniacs first game on PS3 so I cut them some slack and it looks like RFOM2 will be better.

I think it's kind of lame that they have to use PSN titles to make a full top 10 best games list. Even though those are some great PSN titles, it would be good if they were all actual "retail" titles. I don't think they will have any problems for their 2nd birthday with that.

@1.5 - That's funny you have to actually apologize to the rabid PS3 fanboys on this site just to give your opinion because they will take away your bubbles and shun you. A serious flaw with this site. Believe me they will get no such pleasure from me and I will say straight up that RFOM was poo. Disagree, ignore and take away my bubbles all you want fanatics.

Resistance was cool. I liked it. But nothing special. I would give it a solid 8.0

I didn't like the multiplayer tho'

1.9 - Breakfast on Resisance
LOVED Uncharted and Ratchet...

But I do have to agree with Breakfast about Resistance...having not played it until recently, I really feel it is one of those launch games that has simply gotten outpaced rather quickly.

* Compared to the other two games listed, the graphics simply don't hold up (see COD2 as well). Relatively sparse environments, lack of detail (things are too "clean"), rushed "cut-scenes" and a distinctively dated lighting system mean the game just doesn't meet expectations.

* Gameplay: Resistance certainly isn't alone in this, but it is "just" an FPS. With the advancements in cover systems, physics and other gimmicks (time lapse gameplay, Portals, etc), an old-school shooter just doesn't have the appeal it did a year ago.

IMHO.

Uncharted
Resistance
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Folklore
Warhawk
Everyday Shooter
MotorStorm
SuperStardust HD
PixelJunk Monsters
Heavenly Sword

Amazing first year.

Add in the amazing number of amazingly good PSP titles, downloadable PS1 titles for the PS3 and PSP, a gigantic backlog of PS2 games, 20 dollar Greatest Hits PS2 games still left to buy, and even a few big PS2 titles coming out to what will be the greatest single year for a console with the PS3 2008 lineup and PS3 owners are going to need to start hiring staffs to help them with the gigantic number of games they have to play.

What is it with always leaving out the multiplatform games? It's getting weird.. i mean who can ignore awesome games for ps3 such as COD4, Oblivion, Assassin's Creed, Burnout Paradise, DMC4, UT3, Skate etc..? Do they not EXIST?

ohh yea i forgot, since theyre also out on xbox 360, they must be awful games..

The PS3's real birthday was in November 11th, 2006. (Japan)

That's when it was first available to purchase, regardless of where it was retailing from.

Just like how the PS2's real birthday was March 4th, 2000 in Japan....even though it came to the US and the rest of the world later that year in October and November, respectively.

Im sorry i strongly disagree. Halo 3 is a great game... the most fun i ever had in a game happened with halo 3. Name another fps that comes close to what halo has to offer. The only game near it cod 4.

lol...you should give halo 3 another shot and ill try with resistance.

Now that i said i like halo...now you can disagree with me

Edit* Everyone has different tastes

ok well 1st I dont own a 360 so there's no point in me givng the game another shot..

but I did play Halo 3...it's not Great dude Online Play is Great but what about SP..? but fine thats ur opinion...i'll play it again whenever I happen to be @ my friends house.

I still prefer RFOM over Halo...XD

EDIT: Mouthbreaker use to have an account named "Maestro".....

7 - Predictions anyone?
I'm thinking

1. Uncharted?
2. Resistance
3. Call of Duty 4 / Oblivion/ Devil May Cry (the only three REALLY good games that have a superior or atleast equal ps3 version)
4. Warhawk
5. Motorstorm

any other ideas? Pixel Junk Monsters, Heavenly Sword and Folklore have a chance, but besides those I can't really think of any that could make the list.

InYourMom - 655 days 11 hours ago
7.1 - Is it
really that hard to guess the list? If they are going by exclusives they are going to have to list every exclusive game that has come out on the system at least for retail to make a top 10 list.

KnaveX - 655 days 10 hours ago

too bad you cant say the same for 360, sure, it has more than 10 exclusive games, but only about 5 of them are decent enough to make it even into the top 10 Xbox 360 exclusives. See inyourownmom? We can all be fanboys, but we can't all be in the gamer zone.

Imsomniac should make the next Sonic game with the R&C engine. But that will never happen.

I wish the members of insomniac would clone themselves and develop more series of games. Imagine a world where games are released on time all the time, where all games are A quality or better, and a company that is independant and listens to its fans, and good to its employees.

Nice list...I think we'll have a riot on our hands if Uncharted and Resistance aren't in the top five. :)

Personally, I've played Ratchet, Uncharted, Resistance, Motorstorm, and Warhawk on a friend's PS3.

Here are my favs. Out of all the games, Uncharted was my fav. I was dissapointed on the last level but overall it was a good game. Motorstorm and Resistance were also good games. Played and beat Resistance. Didn't like the multiplayer. Also played Warhawk and Heavenly Sword and I didn't like those. So overall not a fantastic year but it had a couple of good games.
