Playstation 3 Games

Editor's Choice

Welcome to our incredible PlayStation 3 collection! All of the best PlayStation 3 games and franchises can be found here! Check out some personal recommendations so you can know what series are the best place to start when it comes to the PS3.

Unchantered Series

When it comes to the premier series on the PlayStation 3, the Uncharted series is up there as the best of the best. All three games in the original Uncharted trilogy are fantastic, but there is a very good reason why Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is regarded as one of the best PlayStation 3 games. These games mix amazing gameplay with tremendous story telling which makes you feel like you are playing a role in an epic action movie.

GTA Series

The PS3 and the Grand Theft Auto series go hand in hand. Grand Theft Auto IV was an amazing game when it was released, and so far, this game has never been remastered. As well as offering you an amazing adventure in Liberty City, this game has some of the best DLC ever! Some people also forget that the fifth game in the GTA series also started its life here on the PlayStation 3.

God of War Series

While it started out in the PS2, the God of War series would become even more brutal and cinematic on the PlayStation 3. On the PS3, you can play then entirety of Kratos’s saga, but one game we feel deserves special attention is God of War: Ascension which is a prequel that shows us where it all began for Kratos! This is a tremendous game, a true, PlayStation 3 exclusive as it has never been re-released!

The Last of Us Series

The Last of Us was one of the last huge titles to be released for the PlayStation 3. A truly cinematic experience that sees you play as Joel as you help Ellie make it across a USA ravaged by people affected by a virus. The original The Last of Us game is truly something special, the kind of game that sits with you for a while after you have beaten it. While this has been remastered…. Twice, there is just something extra special about the PS3 original.

Metal Gear Series

What Konami did with the Metal Gear Solid series on PlayStation 2 was incredible, with two fantastic games. All eyes were on what they could do with the power of the PlayStation 3, and they gave us Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots which is a fantastic entry in the series and a game that we feel does not get the respect and love that it deserves as one of the best PlayStation 3 games.

Resident Evil Series

The Resident Evil series was very well represented on the PS3 with several fantastic titles and a few that are a little misunderstood. Granted, Resident Evil 6 may not be seen as the best entry in the series, however, if you are looking for an awesome game to play with a friend, this is truly epic stuff. On the PS3, you get the best of the more survival horror Resident Evil games as well as the more action packed entries in the series.

Call of Duty Series

When it comes to the Call of Duty series on PlayStation 3, where do you start? This console is home to some of the best entries in the COD series, but one we want to highlight is one of the more underrated entries, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. This game offers some of the most epic multiplayer action the series has ever seen and it also has a blockbuster campaign that is going to blow your socks off. The PS3 will not steer you wrong when it comes to its library of PS3 games.

Assassin's Creed Series

Assassin’s Creed would make its first appearance during the PlayStation 3 generation, and the series has some of the best entries on the PS3. One that is particularly awesome is Assassin's Creed III which was a game changer thanks to its American Civil War setting. The Assassin’s Creed series offers you an immense story and some of the best stealth action that the gaming industry has ever seen.

Batman: Arkham - Video Game Series

When it comes to superhero games, the Batman: Arkham series is up there as the very best. The PlayStation 3 would get three entries in the series, and the original game, Batman: Arkham Asylum, actually got some PS3 exclusive content as this version of the game actually lets you play as The Joker. All three games are fantastic and truly make you feel like you are Batman. From solving puzzles to punching iconic Batman villains in the face, this entire series is epic!

Mass Effect Series

Another series that would get its start during the PlayStation 3 era is the Mass Effect series. This sci-fi epic series is just so awesome, and Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games on the PS3. The storytelling, the freedom of choice, the exciting action, and the incredible voice acting and visuals truly do make you feel like you are Commander Shepard, and fate of all you care about is in your hands.

Final Fantasy Series

When it comes to the best RPGs on PlayStation 3, you cannot forget about the Final Fantasy series. This generation was all about Final Fantasy XIII and the Lightning saga that would be an entire trilogy on the PS3. These are games that have become more appreciated over time, and they have remained on the PlayStation 3 so this truly is the best way to experience them.

Killzone Series

There was a time when the Killzone series was seen as Sony’s answer to Halo. While that may not be the exact case, the Killzone franchise offers awesome sci-fi first-person-shooter action. Before the PS3 launched, Killzone 2 was one of the most hyped games! The PlayStation 3 has two awesome Killzone games for you to sink your teeth into and pile a ton of bullets into the Helghast!

Gran Turismo Series

When the PlayStation 3 launched, many fans were excited to see what this next-generation powerhouse could do with the Gran Turismo series. The PS3 would get, Gran Turismo 5, a damn fine realistic racing sim that looks amazing and offers you some outstanding racing action. This is the kind of racing game that offers you a ton of content to sink your teeth into. A pro tip is to make sure you have the GT5 Academy Edition stuff installed, as it gives you even more content!

Bioshock Series

This generation was just insane when it came to new series, and the Bioshock series was truly one of the best new franchises this generation had to offer. These epic first-person shooters told a tremendous story, and while the under the sea setting of Rapture that the first two games had is great. We want to highlight Bioshock Infinite as the story of a strange girl called Elizabeth in the floating city of Columbia is some of the best storytelling of any video game.

Red Dead Games

How can you talk about the best PlayStation 3 games and not give a special mention to Red Dead Redemption? This classic Wild West story of John Marston’s quest for redemption and to save his family is a story that grabs you from the start and never lets go. With a large open world to explore and lots of interesting characters to meet on your way. The Red Dead series is a prime example of the best of the best when it comes to open world games!

Dark Souls Series

The Dark Souls series would see its very first entry during the PlayStation 3 era and while all of the games offer you a challenging dark fantasy experience, Dark Souls 2 is the one that we feel deserves a little bit of extra special attention as it took what had come before it and refined it in a truly special way. All of these games offer you exciting action, a fun skill tree, and some of the most challenging gameplay that the PS3 has to offer.

Devil May Cry Series

The Devil May Cry series may have started the previous generation, but Devil May Cry 4 took things to a whole new level. A big deal was made at the time about how the PlayStation 3 version of DMC4 was the one to play! The leap in visuals from the third game here was just stunning, This is one of the games that made you a true believer when it came to the power of the PS3! Also, it is worth noting that all three original Devil May Cry games got HD upgrades on the PlayStation 3 too.

Ratchet & Clank Series

Not only did Ratchet & Clank return on the PS3, but they gave us the Ratchet & Clank Future series, which started with Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, which is one of the best games in the entire Ratchet & Clank series. The humor, awesome characters, and crazy weapons are all still here. However, the Future series, thanks to the power of the PlayStation 3, made you feel like you were in an actual animated movie as it looked and sounded so good!

Dead Space Series

Not many games have managed to mix horror and sci-fi together as well as the Dead Space series has. The PlayStation 3 would see the entire Dead Space trilogy released on it, and these are some of the best horror games on PS3! While all three games are good, Dead Space 2 is the clear star of this franchise. With some truly horrific creature designs and a terrifying opening scene with an eyeball! This is one action packed game that will also scare the hell out of you!

LittleBigPlanet Series

Here we have the LittleBigPlanet series, another iconic series that would make its debut on the PlayStation 3. These are some of the best PlayStation 3 games and certainly the most charming. The first game was fun, but LittleBigPlanet 2 gave you more ways to create your own levels and share them with other players. But you also had a wonderful and whimsical story mode to play through too.
