Download Best PS3 Games
While Sony didn't dominate the console space as much with the PlayStation 3 compared to its previous piece of home hardware (the PlayStation 2, of course), there was still an outstanding list of games released for it during the PS3's long lifecycle.
Which is what makes choosing the best games released on the console so, so difficult. The list below aims to give you the gaming highlights for the PS3, and includes huge AAA hits, small and personal experiences, exclusive titles, and much more.

"Assassin's
Creed II might seem as if it has added more than its foundation was
meant to handle, but once all the new features are completely
introduced, it develops that magic that so few games can cast. This is
the rare sequel that offers fans of the original the basics they would
expect, while adding and changing so many other aspects that even those
who didn't appreciate the first should take the plunge, without
hesitation." -- Download or Watch the Trailer
"Regardless
of whether you're getting sucked into the Story mode or competing for
high scores in the Challenge mode, Batman: Arkham Asylum does an
outstanding job of letting you be Batman. Everything about this
game--the impressive visuals, stirring soundtrack, superb voice acting,
fiendish puzzles, hard-hitting combat--feels like it has been lovingly
crafted by a development team that's both knowledgeable and passionate
about the source material. Miss out on this one and the joke's on you."

"While
on the surface it might look like little more than a very pretty
first-person shooter, BioShock is much, much more than that. Sure, the
action is fine, but its primary focus is its story, a sci-fi mystery
that manages to feel retro and futuristic at the same time, and its
characters, who convey most of the story via radio transmissions and
audio logs that you're constantly stumbling upon as you wander around.
All of it blends together to form a rich, interesting world that sucks
you in right away and won't let go until you've figured out what,
exactly, is going on in the undersea city of Rapture." -- Download
"It
serves as the contemplative companion to the typical Mario adventure
while embracing the unbridled fun found in the best platformers. Clever
gameplay mechanics are the driving force, pushing you toward your
inevitable confrontation with the woman you've lost, but it's the
engrossing story that cements this as something really special." -- Download
"Developer
Criterion has invented a world wonderfully suited to Burnout's nature, a
city built exclusively to cater to your destructive whims. And while a
few design hitches here and there get in the way now and again, by and
large Burnout Paradise delivers an experience that is both true to the
Burnout name and wonderfully fresh-feeling all at once." -- Download
"The
campaign hits the same satisfying rhythms, the multiplayer captures the
same frenetic intensity, and the cooperative zombies mode delivers the
same stale undead-massacring action. Caught between striving for the
future and remaining rooted in the past, Black Ops II finds solid
footing, providing another great ride on the Call of Duty
rollercoaster." -- Download
"Any
game can deliver a few cheap scares. It takes a special one to terrify
you. Dark Souls is such a game. It's a thoughtful, atmospheric, and
mysterious role-playing adventure that challenges your mind and your
mettle." -- Download
"Yet
even though it allows you to wipe the recent slate clean, Dishonored
still begs to be replayed from the beginning. Unlocking different
powers, finishing missions in different ways, striving to be more or
less murderous, and seeing a different endgame all offer appealing
incentives to give it another go. It's a rare game that feels so
compulsively replayable, but Dishonored is such a game." -- Download
"GTA
V is a complicated and fascinating game, one that fumbles here and
there and has an unnecessary strain of misogynistic nastiness running
through it. But it also does amazing things no other open-world game has
attempted before, using multiple perspectives to put you in the thick
of cinematic heist sequences and other exhilarating, multi-layered
missions like no open-world game before." -- Download
"Though
it suffers from its share of plot and technical problems, Heavy Rain is
nonetheless a bold and visionary step forward in the medium of
interactive storytelling. Part adventure game and part psychological
thriller, Heavy Rain is far from the quick-time-event-powered movie that
it may appear to be at first glance. Every action you perform or
decision you make--from the simple and mundane to the dark and
disturbing--brings you closer to the flawed but realistic characters you
manipulate." -- Download
"One
of the most remarkable aspects of Infamous is how it continually
improves throughout the quest. The pacing is excellent. It doles out new
abilities, introduces powerful story twists, and concocts exhilarating
missions at a steady rate, which means the game never loses steam during
the course of the lengthy adventure." -- Download
"It's
a real accomplishment that Journey draws together so many conventional
game elements, and so well, and still feels like the art piece we expect
from the makers of Flow and Flower: intriguing, ambiguous, and
experimental. The game's length, two or three hours on the outside, is
exactly right, letting you take in the whole experience in one session."
-- Download
"No
one could have suspected that the sequel to 2004's Killzone would be
this good. Killzone 2 is a tremendous package, offering an exciting
campaign and terrific competitive online play, neither of which create
new paradigms for first-person shooters, but rather set new standards in
subtle but significant ways." -- Download
"L.A.
Noire is a unique game with a terrific sense of period atmosphere,
absorbing investigation mechanics, and a haunting tale with plenty of
moments that would be right at home in a classic film noir. Those smoky
nights spent listening to jazz at the Blue Room, and the price you paid
for them, will stay with you long after you've retired your badge and
gun." -- Download
"This
isn't just a superbly presented game that incorporates multiple genres
and comes packaged with a powerful creation suite, it's your doorway
into a wonderfully charming, vibrant, and ever-changing universe where
almost anything is possible. Even if you're not interested in designing
and creating games yourself, LittleBigPlanet 2 is not to be missed." -- Download
"Last
Light is notably superior to its predecessor, merging storytelling,
shooting, and sneaking into a remarkable and cohesive whole. And through
this harmony of game design comes the caustic dissonance of a world so
torn asunder that a single possibility can bring with it endless hope."
-- Download
"For
anyone who appreciates games that rise above the simple act of pushing a
few buttons and pulling a few triggers, Metal Gear Solid 4 is a
stimulating ride that you won't soon forget. You'll want to see what
happens next, yet when its long campaign draws to a close, you'll wish
it would continue." -- Download
"As
you journey through the massive Aperture facility, it becomes clear
that Portal 2 does not merely come after Portal. Instead, it radiates
outward from its predecessor, simultaneously illuminating the world that
gave rise to Portal and continuing the adventure that began there. The
sense of novelty is diminished, but the thrill of exploration and
puzzle-solving is still intoxicating, and it's amazing how Portal 2
manages to tell a better story with disembodied voices and spherical
robots than most games can with full-on humans." -- Download
"This
is an outstanding game that tells a great story with memorable and
occasionally laugh-out-loud-funny characters. Think about great moments
that you remember from spaghetti Western movies, put them all into one
20- to 40-hour epic feature, and picture yourself in the starring role.
Now you have some idea of what's waiting for you in Red Dead
Redemption." -- Download
"It's
almost unfair to compare Rogue Legacy to other games that emphasize
permanent death. It doesn't have the secrets of Spelunky and it's more
predictable than The Binding of Isaac, yet at the end of every game
comes a desire to hop right back in, spend your gold on some upgrades
and rack up more monster kills, something the game encourages with a
challenging new-game-plus option that appears after the credits roll."
-- Download
"Spelunky
doesn't extend a helping hand when you're down. It doesn't have mercy.
And that stubbornness is one of the main reasons it's so hard to pull
away from the game. When you finally conquer something that has been
hounding you for hours, you feel like the best darn explorer on the
planet, and that feeling overshadows all the hardships you overcame down
the troubled path you traveled." -- Download
"Rock
Band 3 not only introduces new and exciting things to the world of
rhythm games, but it does almost everything better than those that have
come before it. When it comes to accessible, inventive, and immensely
entertaining music video games, nobody does it better than Rock Band 3."
-- Download
"While
the game expands on the solid base established by its precursor, Street
Fighter IV, brawlers who dismiss this as merely a lick of paint and a
roster update will do themselves a major disservice by passing on its
excellent features and gameplay." -- Download
"Ellie's
uplifting nature stands in sharp contrast to the people and events
surrounding her, compelling you to protect her, shepherd her, and
cherish her. The Last of Us is a singular adventure that looks the
downfall of humanity in the eyes and doesn't blink." -- Download
"Uncharted
2: Among Thieves is a complete package. The perfectly paced campaign is
pure joy from beginning to end, seamlessly combining top-notch
shooting, smooth platforming, clever puzzles, and a playful story into
one of the most engaging and satisfying adventures around. Competitive
multiplayer is just as compelling." -- Download
"Pure
entertainment: that's Vanquish in a nutshell. This speedy and thrilling
third-person cover-based shooter is all madness, overwhelming you with
gigantic robots, flurries of gunfire, and explosions so powerful and
colorful that you might think you feel the heat. There are a lot of
things to love about Vanquish, but its most impressive feat is that
while it uses mechanics you've seen in other shooters, it feels nothing
like them." -- Download
