In December, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the launch of the brand Playstation. As we already did with the first Playstation and the best PS2, this time we will look at what is the best games Playstation 3 for public and press according to Metacritic rating.
10. Call of duty: Modern Warfare 2
We can all agree that Call of Duty is one of the highest grossing franchises in the industry. In fact, this was one of Sony’s biggest problems in the transition to purchase Activision from the side Microsoft: knowing what will happen to the saga when Xbox takes it over.
Interestingly, despite the fact that the architecture of Playstation 3 It is a sophisticated port from PC, it has interesting graphics, attractive campaign mode and multiplayer at a time when online is becoming a must in such games. Call Duty also has its detractors, but this one does among the best on the console.
9. Bioshock infinite
I remember when I was able to access a demo of the first one Bioshock on Xbox 360. I was shocked by that impressive start, it was hard to see on console before. It was a huge success and spawned two sequels, Bioshock Infinite being the last to be published and receiving the most critical acclaim. Surprisingly, the team was not interested in releasing sequels, it was the pressure from the publisher 2K Games that allowed the game to see the light of day.
The game is part of the genre First person shooterbut the trilogy has an art design and script that goes beyond what is usual in games of this type. If you haven’t enjoyed it yet, you might be interested to know what a Big Daddy or you’re just looking for a great FPS, just know that the trilogy is sold as a bundle called Bioshock: The Collection and usually at a discounted price. This is essential and one of the best games on Playstation 3.
8. Portal 2
When Valve was still releasing games with some regularity and led us to believe so Half Life 3 can exist, he ventured with a puzzle game based on a 3D environment that looks like an FPS. Nothing could be further from the truth Portal and its sequel, Portal 2, are whimsical puzzles in which the main character is a weapon that can open holes interspatialportals, and absorb and contain small objects, something like Half Life 2 Gravity Cannon.
This time around, the world in which Portal 2 takes place, the aftermath of the events that took place at the end of the first part, is much more colorful. New and more difficult challenges, as well as some designed specifically for co-op, show that Valve as a developer cannot return to the forefront because the level was so high that it would be almost impossible to improve it.
7. The last of us
It seems like yesterday, but this game first appeared on the Playstation 3, and then there were two remaster on Playstation 4 and Playstation 5, in addition to the TV series, which will soon have a second season. In the midst of Naughty Dog’s post-publication success Unknownfurther expand the graphical capabilities of the console with this The last of us.
In motion, it is simply incredible, along with GTA V, it is definitely better graphically Playstation 3. This is an example of utility the first party studioswho can devote themselves solely to getting all the inputs and outputs from authoring consoles, what with Playstation 4 and Xbox One is lost
6. Red dead redemption
Rockstar surprised everyone with this sequel Red Dead Revolverlocated on the border between Mexico and the United States. With an open world much more coherent and similar to GTA, and with mechanics worthy of a western, many of the advantages of this Red Dead Redemption, such as the online mode, led to its current sequel, and by the way, a very juicy and constant amount of income, which lets Rockstar take the sequels VERY easy.
5. Little big planet
In times when originality was sought in peripheral devices such as Playstation Move or Microsoft KinectSony has found the goose that laid the golden eggs with this Little Big Planet, a puzzle game whose characters and aesthetic transcend the console and become the image of more merchandising brand.
Personally, I’ve never been a fan Bag boythe most charismatic protagonist of the saga, despite the success of his puzzle-platformer mix and his laudable attempt to promote the creation and use of community-generated content under the motto “to play To create. Share it“, something difficult for a console in 2008.
4. Batman: Arkham City
A direct sequel to Arkham Asylum and part of a trilogy of video games based on the superhero Batman and Arkham City, this Arkham City is even better than the original, which was already a surprise when it was released. Personally, I had a great time playing this mix of beat’em up and infiltration adventure. I recommend this game, and even better, the Arkham trilogy available on multiple platforms, especially if you’re a DC Comics fan.
3. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
I am completely biased in this game. When Uncharted 2 was announced I ran to find the first installment and when it came out I watched both. The original is okay, but the sequel is so good that It might be my favorite Playstation 3 ever. The train phase near the end of the game is an adrenaline rush, young people believe me when I say there was nothing like it in late 2009.
Very good graphics, good plot, good “shooting” in a third-person game that reminds me a lot Gears of Warand the intensity is so high that it is even half normal that it does not repeat itself at all, on the contrary. It had a third installment that graphically pushed the Cell Playstation 3’s CPU and its NVidia graphics even further, but for my taste in terms of playability it was no surprise and even a little behind. Deserves to participate top three games for playstation 3.
2. Grand Theft Auto V
GTA V for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 It’s just a miracle. Your mind must have forgotten that these two versions existed because they are in the same year Rockstar republished them in the next generation. With a team of over 1,000 people and a budget of over $170 million, this eleven-year-old blockbuster is the latest GTA installment and for the first time a complete first-person experience.
I’m not going to find out what this phenomenon means right now GTA in the world of video games, but I remember the number of forums from that time with users passionate about the game and despairing of its performance. For context, at the time it was not mandatory to install the game Playstation 3 -some models were sold without a hard drive- and the open world of San Andreas constantly dragged the drive, so a chaos of threads was created explaining the yellow lights on older models due to CPU overheating and how to solve them.
1. Grand theft auto IV
After the success of GTA 3 and its sequels, Rockstar decided to focus the saga on the darker environment of Liberty City and develop a scenario that was different from gangster movies, invested more than 100 million dollars and became the fastest selling video game outside of history. It has two DLCs and is one of the best rated on Metacritic of all time, and certainly deserves to be among Playstation 3’s best.
I’m not sure the best Playstation 2 and 3 games have that much of a Grand Theft Auto presence. I think it does a huge disservice to the industry and obscures the visibility of other great games, but that’s the opinion of the press and we have to respect it.
