The gameplay in Mortal Kombat will be different for those of you accustomed to the speed and fluidity of games like Super Street Fighter IV. Landing a combo and executing special moves is more visceral here then in other games. So, with exciting combat, bloody fatalities and tons of things to unlock, Mortal Kombat sounds incredible. For every cheap slip down a chasm or tumble over the edge of a staircase that sends you plummeting hundreds of feet to your death, there are dozens upon dozens that will teach you the cold, hard truths of this world: nearly every enemy is a potential life-ender, and a proper defense and careful use of your equipped weapon are paramount in every single encounter.
Every single person that owns a PS3 should at the very least rent this game to see what all the fuss is about, and those that can remember the good old days when games taught through the highly effective use of intense punishment and a heavy price for not playing should scoop this up instantly.
It is the perfect blend of engaging gameplay and an emotionally complex and impactful story. That explains why it was met with critical praise and showered with game of the year awards. The impact of the game can still be felt in the industry as video game stories have become deeper and more complex since. You play as Joel, a man who has lost everything after society has collapsed thanks to a dangerous strain of Cordyceps that infects humans.
Now a smuggler, Joel accepts a simple job: deliver a girl named Ellie to a terrorist group known as the Fireflies. However, after things go awry and learning Ellie is immune to Cordyceps, Joel must embark on a nationwide odyssey to get Ellie to the Fireflies and develop a cure. The two must fight through fungal-infected enemies who are basically zombies , as well as dangerous scavengers called Hunters.
The violence is slow and visceral, making the game feel more real than it should be. The slow bond that forms between the two protagonists is also natural and believable, and it all culminates into one of the most shocking and conflicting moments in video game history no spoilers here. The Last of Us is one of the swan songs of the PS3 era, and it is one of the most significant games ever made.
Putting it on this list is a no-brainer. Hideo Kojima is one of the most influential and visionary creative directors in video games. The best-selling Metal Gear Solid series is a love letter to American action movies combined with the often-times convoluted storytelling and quirky humor found in JRPGs.
Trying to explain the plot of the games up to this point in the series would be a futile effort, but we will try anyway. With limited time left, he goes on a last ditch mission to assassinate Liquid Snake before he takes over a complex AI system called The Sons of the Patriots and puts the world in endless conflict. The gameplay was also reinvented in Metal Gear Solid 4. The top-down view from the previous games is replaced with an over-the-shoulder view and there is a bigger emphasis on combat.
The levels were also open-ended, leaving multiple ways to deal with situations. The game has a lot of beloved and not-so-beloved returning characters, and it offers a satisfying conclusion to a series that is packed with twists and turns.
It was critically acclaimed and is one of the reasons the PS3 was as successful as it was. Like the PS2 before it, the PS3 had a bevy of exclusives that contributed to an impressive library. The PlayStation Store gave indie developers the chance to showcase their talent on a digital store that would be presented to millions of people.
Sony also made a habit of r-releasing some of its most iconic games in collections. The most popular example is the Final Fantasy series, of course.
Like its competitor, the Xbox , there were also plenty of multiplayer games. Call of Duty was a staple series on the console, as well as the well-received Battlefield series.
Unlike Xbox games, PS3 owners could play online with no monthly or annual charge. That made it pretty appealing for gamers who wanted to mainly play multiplayer.
There were also several big-budget exclusives on the PS3. However, there were quite a few excellent exclusives like the Infamous series that assembled a loyal fan base. In terms of which PS3 to buy, there are really two options. Overall, it had a more premium feel and more sleek design, though the PS3 Slim was introduced a few years into the life cycle as the budget-conscious alternative.
This is the one we largely recommend to find. While the original might look nicer, it has one major drawback: ranging storage capacity. The storage capacity varies widely on the original, whereas the slim model starts at GB, and with games being so large, it is better to lean towards a bigger hard drive.
Once nice thing about the slim, too, is how easy it is to expand storage, should you need to later. Combine that with the slimmer profile and great library, and the PS3 is still a worthwhile console for all gamers. Various factors come into play when a game makes it to the Best Of list.
Red Dead Redemption was released nearly a decade ago, but the game still stands tall as a must-have for the PlayStation 3. Definitely, but not for every game. Little Big Planet proves that you need others around to make the game all the more interesting.
