The year is Pirates rule the waters of the Caribbean and have established a lawless Republic. 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. The reason why those games make it to the list is that friends and family will always have a fun time challenging others in a race or battle.
However, as aforementioned, not every game is 2-player-friendly. Skyrim has the ability to have you experience an entirely new world, but only caters to a single player.
Be sure to check with the game as to how many people can play the game at a time. For sure. As you can tell, most games on here are sequels to past games from the franchise. Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition is a remake of the original, and that franchise has been around for more than 2 decades. There are best-selling games for any type of audience out there. Little Big Planet is very kid-friendly. We hope you like the items we recommend! CBR has affiliate partnerships, so we receive a share of the revenue from your purchase.
Premium pick. LittleBigPlanet 3. The Last of Us. Editors choice. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Best value. God of War III. Summary List 9. Premium pick: LittleBigPlanet 3 8. Red Dead Redemption 9. Resistance 3 9. Journey Collection 7. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch 9. Grand Theft Auto 5 8. Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition 9. Demon's Souls 9. The Last of Us 9. The characters are all memorable, and you have the exciting role of their commander.
The main villains are pretty interesting and are hard to forget, as well. As a science fiction story, this game is amazing. It is no wonder that it also has its own comics and books. The alien races and their cultures are particularly well thought out and fascinating. Telltale has made some amazing story-based games.
The Walking Dead was their crown jewel in terms of characters, story, and motivation. They keep even truer to the comics than the TV show, and you see some familiar faces like Glenn and Jesus but the story truly revolves around some awesome original characters.
The story initially focuses on Lee, who protects a little girl named Clementine through the zombie apocalypse. Also, be prepared to cry a waterfall at various points in this series. True to The Walking Dead franchise, this game is merciless to its characters. The story is about a little boy on a journey to save his mother in a magical world. In terms of story genre, it is certainly a coming-of-age tale. The game is more famous for its art design than story, but that is because some adult players prefer grittier stories with more unpredictability.
The story is one of the best, especially for those looking for something more innocent while still being poignant. Like the Kingdom Hearts' series, the Metal Gear franchise's overarching plot is hard to wrap your mind around. It feels like a military shooter game, but there are clones, a vampire, cyborgs, and ridiculous and over-the-top antics.
However, fans still love the story. Sometimes they don't understand what is even happening—especially if they never played a Metal Gear game before—but the characters just feel real and you feel for them and their battles.
A ton of love went into Guns of the Patriots , and the story had very memorable fights and dialogue between the characters.
You play a grizzled father who seeks to find a cure for his daughter's magical illness. Though in the Japanese version, you play her brother for some reason. Like Automata , the story is very tragic and full of unfortunate twists for the main protagonist. The characters are memorable, and, if you liked Automata, then it would benefit you to know that Emil's backstory is in this game.
The game attempts to put the player in her shoes and see things from her traumatized perspective while telling one amazing story at the same time. Peter Parker struggles with balancing his personal life with his superhero one, but things get worse when he's forced to make several difficult choices to protect the world.
Marvel's Spider-Man tells a very emotional and humane story about Peter Parker, without losing any of the fun of the comic books. Horizon Zero Dawn offers one of the most creative open-world experiences in all of gaming, and there's a lot to accomplish before gamers truly get their money's worth.
The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which machines and humans live together, albeit on unfriendly terms. Players control the hunter Aloy as she defends the tribes and searches for answers while learning more about the catastrophe that befell the world and plunged it back into the stone age.
The story is a number one priority in Horizon, and fans are waiting eagerly for the upcoming sequel Horizon Forbidden West to continue it. Created by the same developers behind the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne allows players to customize characters to explore the city of Yharnam. Within the city is a mysterious strain of blood that can apparently heal any affliction.
To obtain blood and cure the city's illness, the player has to battle monsters lurking about Yharnam. Not only does Bloodborne tell a gripping story about sacrifice, but it also provides engaging, yet brutal and challenging battles throughout the entire run. From the book series to the Netflix show, fans of The Witcher have been getting years of quality content that never seems to dry up. Many players still haven't discovered everything the game has to offer , which is a testament to the franchise's depth.
In that game, players control Geralt as he defends his loved ones from the infamous and predatory Wild Hunt. For fans of the franchise, Wild Hunt is sure to offer a fulfilling conclusion to Geralt's story, though there's already talk of a fourth game in the series from CD Projekt Red. Persona 5 is a game that takes full advantage of its anime aesthetic. It boasts energetic action, compelling characters, and an exciting story about the Phantom Thieves of Hearts that has made it something of a cult classic series.
It's widely regarded as one of the most enjoyable games on the PS4, and it still remains a relevant topic of discussion today. The character of Joker is even a playable option in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , proving just how far the influence of this series goes. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End continues the exploits of treasure hunter Nathan Drake, who, after having retired, goes into the treasure hunting business one last time when he reunites with someone from his past.
It's another solid entry in the Uncharted series with a story that weaves its way through the gameplay mechanics and exotic, sprawling locations. The series has always been about adventure in the style of Indiana Jones, which is why many fans of that franchise also play Uncharted , and other titles in the adventure genre. Even though the series has gotten a bit darker over the years, it's still a lot of fun to play.
The scripts are dynamite, and the way the characters interact as part of the larger story is positively cinematic.
