Top Playstation 3 Games December 2012
There will likely be a whole slew of new console owners out there who are only now catching up with the latest systems and the games released for those systems. This article is just for them, as it welcomes new console owners to the fold with a list of the 10 best PS3 games they should pick up and play for their brand spanking new PS3.
This generation of games consoles is coming to an end, with the Wii U already having arrived to usher in the next-generation, and successors to both the PS3 and Xbox 360 expected in 2013 . However, even after the current crop of games consoles has been replaced by newer models, they’re still worth owning thanks to the plethora of great games available on them.
Red Dead Redemption was a surprise hit, coming from nowhere to win various industry awards. It’s the spiritual successor to Red Dead Revolver, but everything about the new game was ramped up, from the size of the world to the length of the game, from the cast of characters to the variety in gameplay. If you like westerns then this is one of the best PS3 games in the genre that lets you star in one.
L.A. Noire is a strange combination of open-world exploring, driving, and combat, all done while investigating crimes in 1940s Los Angeles. It has a similar feel to the Grand Theft Auto series , except you’re now on the right side of the law. It’s an engrossing look at recent history, with some innovative animation techniques adding to the sense of realism.
Heavy Rain is unlike any other game on this list or, to tell the truth, any other game ever released. It takes the form of an interactive movie, but one in which you have precise control over the words, actions, and choices of the main characters. It features multiple endings depending on how you progress through the game… which stays with you long after it ends.
Batman: Arkham City is the sequel to 2009’s Batman: Arkham Asylum. As the title suggests, this is a game starring the Dark Knight, with a storyline written by veteran Batman writer Paul Dini ensuring this is more than just a cheap licensed tie-in. You play Batman as he tackles the main storyline while encountering all of the biggest, baddest villains from Batman mythology.
Grand Theft Auto IV is an epic game , the fourth full title in the long-running GTA series. It’s set to be bettered by the forthcoming GTA V , but until that happens Grand Theft Auto IV provides more underworld escapism than any sane person should be able to handle. You play new immigrant Niko Bellic as he slowly works his way up the criminal ladder.
God Of War III is the direct sequel to the first two games, both of which appeared exclusively on the PS2. Every element of the gameplay was fine-tuned for this sequel, and alongside the improved visuals, they add up to an ultra-impressive title. You play Kratos in an adventure loosely based on Greek mythology, fighting gods and monsters on the way to defeating Zeus.
LittleBigPlanet 2 is the sequel to the bestselling original released in 2008. While there is a story mode, the meat of the game is when you start creating your own content using the tools at your disposal. And the number of tools is vast, allowing for an equally impressive number of different levels and mini-games to be created. All of which star Sackboy.
