LBP and Uncharted without a doubt. i won't accept any other offers

Gaetano4976d ago

U2 more than U1 imo. But LBP is just amazing. I don't think there is a game with as good community creation and sharing on consoles?

Yeah Nathan Drake is the one that shines the most, but honestly SackBoy is such a perfect mascot, who best represents community, creativity, and fun...What games should be about.

Not to raise peoples hopes but I got inside info that more Versus XIII info will be revealed next month. To be exact, there is an 80% chance that this info will be at this years Jump Festa and a 20% chance that it will be revealed on some other day in December. This should come as no suprise to fans as we know that Square always announces something at Jump Festa.

I think he may have meant the franchises as a whole, not just the first games in those franchises.

Mw3 define ps3 without doubt

nix4975d ago (Edited 4975d ago )

i think every game/franchise has their own story to tell. For eg. Heavenly Sword, Uncharted 1 and Resistance 1 were the first gen of games to show the power of PS3. Killzone 2 had it's own challenge and controversy. MGS4 started the chain of PS3 game of the year. there was a time when PS3 exclusives won "Game of the year" title 3 times in a row.

GT5 also had it's own huge expectation to live up to. inFamous, LBP series, Motorstorm series, God of War, Heavy Rain etc... all have different stories to tell us. Uncharted series is setting new bar in the gaming industry. in short, PS3 is the culmination of every exclusive game that has come out so far. PS brand has never been about single genre.

Though i didnt like the campaing ill have to say uncharted 3 has defined it from a technical stand point.

Have to agree with the list, I'd ad GT5 in there too though as it's the best selling exclusive.

christheredhead4976d ago

There are a ton of games that define the console. Mgs4, gran turismo, infamous, resistance, r&c, i mean the list goes on and on. It really depends on what you like. Something that ive always really enjoyed about the playstation brand is the huge diverse library of different games across different genres.

trouble_bubble4975d ago

Indeed. Someone else could just as easily pick risky ventures like Demon's Souls or Heavy Rain and make a valid, rational argument.

GribbleGrunger4976d ago

games that have been on other PS generation consoles can't 'define' the PS3. they defined the consoles they were on at the time. it should be games that appeared first on PS3 and i stand by what i said!

Uncharted and LBP!!!

damn you all for disagreeing! how dare you!

Project: Horned Owl Review

From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
