Top 5 PS3 Exclusives So Far This Generation

The Playstation 3 has been out two months shy of two and a half years. The console has walked the rocky road and had its fair share of up's and down since release. I thought I'd take this time to highlight what I'd consider the top five Playstation 3 exclusive titles since the console hit the market.

KILLZONE 2 and MGS4 are 'meh'?
Okay... opinions and all that.

WARHAWK is the only one I haven't played on that list, but after KZ2 changed my mind about online multiplayer, I may now give it a go.

Warhawk is still my favorite online multiplayer game on the PS3. So well balanced. Doesn't matter what weapons you find yourself with, whether you're on foot, in a jeep, a tank, or in an aircraft, you'll have a place on the battlefield and be able to get things done. That's balance. The map design is absolutely impeccable. And to this day it has the most in-depth stat tracking of any game I've ever seen. You can track literally every detail you can imagine. Can't recommend it enough.

There are too many good PS3 exclusives to create a list of just the top 5. I'd want to put Folklore, Resistance 2, Valkyria Chronicles, etc. on my list too. A top 10 would've been able to include a better variety and showcase some more of what the console has to offer.

Nice list! These are all my favourite games and that list is almost exactly my order. These are the games that took up all my time, I've lost whole Saturdays to Warhawk and LBP.

I love this! talking about games(not sales) and no 360 fanboys to be seen anywhere with their "Bu, bu, but, those gamez didn't salez 8 million!"

no body ever mentions Valkyria Chronicles!
this is an amazing game, its not for people that do not like turn based combat though. For me this is one of the best RPG this generation, lovely gfx, fantastic musical score and the combat is really good too. Its not a typical RPG as its set in a kind of alternate world war 2, but the characters and story are really good. its right up there with Lost Odyssey and the mighty Mass Effect, just my opinion.

I agree Valkyria Chronicles was an excellent game. I just wish it had more customization within each class. The character development was great, but I felt that sometimes that didn't extend into the combat or strategy area.

Overall, best RPG this generation. Go out and buy it!

1.7 - I agree with the list
I would also agree with the guy above who mentioned valkyria this game is simply awesome.

I also like Folklore hasn't anyone played that game? Ok it wasn't THE killer app but it was a really unique game experience with a really good story, characters, visuals the whole thing really!

1.8 - Finally...
Someone has recognised Uncharted as an awesome game! It seems no one ever mentions it besides me. I was starting to feel as if I am the only person who has ever played it. Uncharted is in my top 3 PS3 games, along with CoD4 and Killzone 2.

1 - 3. Cod4, Killzone 2 and Uncharted (Can't decide which is best)
4. MGS4
5. LittleBigPlanet

If only exclusives then remove cod4 and add Racthet and Clank Tools of Destruction.

Good list, though I can't say much for Uncharted or Warhawk. I have warhawk, have yet to play it. As for Uncharted I want to pick that one up soon, but I keep pushing it back. Other than that everything else is fun. Might get uncharted next week and see how it goes :) (Depending on how big my paycheck is :p)

Graphics are top notch. Story is just good. Better then Kingdom of the crystal skull but not as good as the holy grail =D. Temple of doom level of story. Replay... to me is low. Worth it if your a perfectionist. I play games like that for story and once to me is enough usually(Exceptions being god of war and zelda)... but still a good game overall and I still own it because I like jumping in from time to time and showing friends and letting them borrow it.

Uncharted has the best combat system I think I've ever played in a game. You've done yourself a horrible injustice by not picking it up.

What were you playing November 2007?

@ DaTruth. Best combat system ever? Really? Maybe good for a TPS but I would go hands down with God of War, Zelda, Ninja Gaiden Sigma(Haven't played 2 so won't judge) or a few other games for sure before it... Do you mean for it's genre being TPS? Or Action adventure? because I can think of others Exclusive or not(call of duty 4) that are better. Don't get me wrong the controls were great. Really great. but far from the best ever in a game bro... Even Street fighter 2, 3rd strike or 4 for in depth combat system and balance(4 is still yet to prove balance but is fun either way)...

2.5 - Sorry, IMHO
Let's not get to serious here! Obviously, I haven't played every game known to man, but as far as shooters... and I mean all shooters, I never had a more enjoyable experience and I am just conveying that to the man.

The seamless transition from targeting to shooting from the hip, to hand to hand and stealth is just too amazing. I can't emphasis the "seamless" enough.

I saw the Gametrailers review of it (Not for the review score itself, but rather game play and scenario information) and thought it looked pretty well done. That's pretty much why I want to get it. Just that lack of funds (because of all the games coming out and some past games I missed in the PS2 area) were slowly coming into my house. It was either Uncharted and pass on RE5 or get RE5 and pass on Uncharted. Since my sibling got RE5 it gave me the opportunity to get Uncharted.

Roger that. I would agree that it does it's own brand of controls the best. Seemless is a good word. I did feel at times that I had to line up the camera to make a jump which kind of irked me but otherwise it felt great... Except the jet Ski stuff. I feel like that culd have been done better... however it looked amazing. Seeing the rocks underwater was just amazing.

I would choose Uncharted over RE 5 anyway myself... I like supporting new IP's and RE just isn't what it used to be...

Yeah, I really wasn't feeling RE5 to much which is why i went out and bought some JRPGs and RPGs for the PS2 spending quite a bit. I know Uncharted is one that everyone is talking about and now seems the perfect time as any to pick it up. Mainly because no other games I really want are coming out at least until May. When I get charted that will be 11 PS3 games, which can hold me over while my funds replenish for a month and then for a few more weeks until the other games and heavy hitters start rolling in to.

Love me some killzone 2 as well, warhawk looks to be fun, I downloaded the demo and I might get it if I can convince my brother to get it. I am not an MGS fan, I own LBP and it is OK, I really haven't played it all that much since I got it though, matter of fact I think I lent it out to a friend.

4.7 - @ NIGHT_HAWK3210
Seriously, comments like that tell me you are an idiot. The game does have very long cutscenes which add the overall epicness (not sure if that's a word) of the experience. The cutscenes are important story-wise but also feature some awesome battle/fight scenes. The seamless experience of moving from gameplay to movie and back to gameplay is why this game is so good.

And if you don't want to watch the cutscenes you shouldnt be complaining anyway. Here's a protip!

START --> SKIP --> YES

Follow these simple steps and you can skip the entire thing if it bothers you that much.

Why are you complaining about movies that you can skip anyway? It doesnt make sense to me. I was more frustrated by the boring talking scenes in Half Life 2. The first playthrough I listened, but the next time I just wanted to skip them and I couldn't so I got angry!

i must be stupid, because you confirmed what i said. i guess im weird, but epic battles are a lot more fun to play than watch. if i skip the cut scenes i would have no idea what was happening. just run around an hide from people, wow how fun. i have a "protip" for you. EAT A D1CK DOUCHEBAG FANBOY. personally i think mgs is boring as hell. the coolest thing in the game was blending in to environments, but after about an hour that was played out. man mgs fanboys are as bad as halo fanboys(at least halo is fun online). oh yeah, how hard is it to put trophies into a game?

It bothers me that such a high profile game makes it so hard to join up with friends. You think they'd implement a party system by now. Heck, Halo 2 did it way back when. Why can't it be done now? Stellar game regardless, but geeze.

Also, I named all the games on this list before I looked. It's kinda obvious XD

It's not that hard to join friends, you go to "Join Friends" and click on them.

The problem is rank restrictions. Most people have games set up so high rankers cannot join low ranked players and vice versa, so the people playing all have access to similar weapon sets.

I had a hard time fighting Whiptail in Heavenly Sword, so I didn't touch it in a while. I had to learn combos for breaking waves etc. Currently, I'm playing Kai trying to save Shen on the bridge. I forgot whether I chose Hard level, but it's freaking hard. After just shooting arrows for couple of hours, I googled for help. You have to use aftertouch, guiding each arrow with motion controls. I still haven't beaten it, but the feeling is FREAKING AWESOME!!! Although, I'm not sure HS would be in my top five, that experience alone is my NUMBER ONE! It's amazing how it looks, plays, feels...

I'm not that much into shooters, so my picks are quite different...

1-Eye of Judgment
2-Motorstorm Pacific Rift
3-LBP
4-WipeOut HD
5-Killzone 2 (ok, I'm a graphic whore! Bad shooter, but dang this game looks good. Feel like I'm running around with a target on my chest though : ) but I don't mind... )

MGS and Uncharted almost made the list, but hey, had to stop at 5. 2 and 3 are great when family or friends come over. No learning curve, and hilarious fun...

Currently own 23 PS3 games, all great ones in my book though!.
