Best PS3 Games of 2012

GameZone writes, "Can you believe that 2012 is almost over? It seems like just yesterday I was getting hyped for the release of Twisted Metal and Starhawk. As most fans would agree, those are only a taste of the impressive, highly anticipated exclusives that PlayStation 3 saw this year. When it was all said and done, 2012 wasn't about the release of AAA blockbuster games on PS3; rather, it was the smaller titles that shined, showing us that games can still be innovative, emotional, and impactful."

Journey. Best game of 2012.

aquamala4531d ago (Edited 4531d ago )

Just like 2011 , the best games this year are multi plats

Borderlands 2
ACreed 3
Dishonored
Far Cry 3
Xcom
Mass Effect 3
Hitman

I have to disagree with that about 2011. The exclusives that year at least matched the multiplats in my opinion.

Infamous 2
lbp 2
Uncharted 3
Killzone 3
Resistance 3
Skyward Sword

Those were some of my favorite games last year. This year hasn't been as great for exclusives though. All Stars and Halo 4 are the only ones I was in to.

aquamala4531d ago

You think that list match this list?

Arkham City
Portal 2
BF3
Skyrim
Dark Souls
Saints row 3
Deus Ex

TheFirstClassic4531d ago (Edited 4531d ago )

From a metacritic point of view, no, but in my opinion? Yeah. Portal 2 was awesome, as was dark souls, but I didn't like bf3 much, it felt so stale compared to bc2. Skyrim was practically broken upon release, I don't really like Saints Row, and I haven't played Deus Ex or Batman yet.

I forgot to include Gears 3 in my list btw. Haven't played Forza but that was supposed to be excellent. But yeah, throw Gears and Forza in there, and I think it was pretty close. If you only counted one system's exclusives it wouldn't match the multiplats though. I just perferred most exclusives last year, not like my opinion is fact of course.

finally, a console-specific list that actually keeps to the specific system rather than list a bunch of multiplatform games.

Starhawk very underrated game. I really did enjoy playing Starhawk.

Michiel198961d ago

playstation all stars would have been good if you could finish without ultimate moves. Made the game so boring and repetitive. The rest of the combat was really fun but that just killed it for me. Look at smash where you can get such creative kills and here you just wait for lvl 3 ult and press one button.

TM3 is my favorite but I'll take what they bring out gladly. Fun times back in the day and great soundtracks

Cacabunga215d ago

Last one on ps4 wasn’t good at all.
Hoping for some good reboot or remake of the first 3

Dagexon215d ago

You mean the one on ps3?

Cacabunga214d ago

Yes i do, thanks! I realized too late couldn’t edit

Lego 2K Drive features an exciting mode called Brick Brawl, inspired by Twisted Metal. Players can create, share, and upload various cars, including ones like Sweet Tooth. The game boasts thousands of custom cars, ranging from the Batmobile to the Sweet Tooth ice cream truck.

Never understood the like for the series. Not my bag but I know a lot of gamers are clamoring for a new game and liked the TV. Series

TiredGamer215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

TM1 and 2 are time period classics. They were a bit rough, ugly, and grungy, but they felt right during the time period they were released and they scratched that early console “death match” itch before FPS games would completely swallow that market.

Many great memories with friends playing couch co-op and 1v1. Short, and quick-and-dirty gameplay that we returned to over and over. I’d buy a remake or proper remastering of the first two games day one.

InUrFoxHole215d ago

Lol, nice! I remember having the tiger handheld or watch..

FinalFantasyFanatic214d ago

I played those so much as I kid, I bought the Twisted Metal games that were on PSN as Playstation Classics, wow, they feel clunky by today's standards, they could really use the remake/remaster treatment.

UltimateOwnage215d ago

Twisted Metal: Black is when the series really hit for me. I still love that game so much. It was kind of downhill for the series after that IMO. I'd love to see the series go back to its roots, but I don't hold out a lot of hope for David Jaffe coming back from where he is these days to oversee development of a competent sequel.

Snookies12214d ago

Black was the pinnacle in my opinion. I adored TM1 and TM2, for sure. But Black brought it to a whole new level of awesome.

Shaz from GL: "The way Journey evokes emotions through its narrative without using traditional storytelling methods is something no game has been able to replicate."
