For the past few years, I’ve listened to many XBox 360 owners explain why their console of choice was superior to the Playstation 3. And while some games – Dead Rising, Fable 2, and the upcoming Alan Wake\u00a0for example – have made me wish that I owned a 360, for the most part I’ve been very happy with my PS3.<\/p>\n

And whereas the Playstation 2 absolutely dominated the market with such titles as Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, and Katamari Damacy, the Playstation 3 has until recently had no such list.<\/p>\n

But check this out.<\/p>\n

Heavy Rain<\/a><\/strong>
\nI’ve written about Heavy Rain plenty. It’s a phenomenal interactive murder\/mystery. I’ve already bought a second copy as a gift for a friend, largely because I needed to share the experience.\u00a0If you have the means, I highly recommend picking the game up. It’s so choice.<\/p>\n

LittleBigPlanet<\/strong>
\nI haven’t written about LittleBigPlanet on this site, largely because I haven’t played the game much, although we do own it. My wife, on the other hand, played through the game nearly to completion. I’m sure that I could lose myself in the game’s creation engine as I once did with Neverwinter Nights’ Aurora Engine creation studio. But for now, I’ll continue to resist.<\/p>\n

Pixeljunk Monsters<\/a><\/strong>
\nMy love for Pixeljunk Monsters seems to know no limits. Years after buying the game, I’m still playing it. And just a few weeks ago, I finally unlocked the second-to-last level in the expansion. It is very hard.<\/p>\n

Trine<\/a><\/strong>
\nI know that there also exists a PC version on Steam, but Trine on the Playstation 3 is superior, if only because you can play the game with three players. It’s also the only game on which I’ve ever managed a platinum trophy. Not easy.<\/p>\n

Uncharted 2<\/strong>
\nEveryone else seems to love this game more than I do, but I’ll admit that it’s a good game. I’m probably less than halfway through right now. I’ll have more to offer as I progress further.<\/p>\n

In addition to the above, I’m interested to try the punishingly difficult Demon’s Souls<\/em>, and I know I’ll soon pick up a copy of God of War 3<\/em>. Also, as soon as The Last Guardian<\/em> hits store shelves, I’m all over it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
