Strategy Informer: "Here at Strategy Informer, we locked ourselves away in the underground bunker for days on end, trying to finalize our list of the best PS3 games released this year. Finally we've emerged - so while we go and have a shower and change our clothes, why don't you check out our Game of the Year awards for the PS3 in 2010."
The PlayStation 3 is Sony’s most interesting home console ever, but what’s most interesting of all is trying to nail down the very best games on a console with hundreds of incredible games. Let’s give it a shot.
We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad
Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension
2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.
Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯
I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers
Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming
Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?
If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.
I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.
I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64
I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.
But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.
The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.
if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.
Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.
Saddle up your horses, boys. Let's gallop on through this list of the best cowboy games you can play on the PS3.

I love the Steamdeck, it's pretty great, also amazing that we can carry a handheld computer around that can play so many games.
yay sports champion!!!
okay then
Best Multiplayer: Red Dead Redemption. I couldn't agree more.
I spent 13 days of my life in RDR's multiplayer. Free roam and Gang matches. The first free DLC "Outlaws to the end" was a generous gift from Rockstar that added some fun co-op missions and 10 trophies. The competitive multiplayer was a blast too. I bought all the payed DLC as well.
"Legends and Killers" for the new maps and modes, "Liars and Cheats" for the gambling and competitive modes and both came with new playable characters and 10 trophies each except "Undead Nightmare" which had 12 trophies. It was mostly single player but it did and a fun new zombie co-op.
Red Dead Redemption wins both my singleplayer and multiplayer game of the year awards. I spent 300 hours playing Red Dead Redemption. If you haven't bought it yet, you really need to get this game. If you already have RDR but don't own the DLC yet, you should buy Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare DLC disc.It has all 4 Add ons for Red Dead Redemption and comes with a poster, a disc and a case for $30.
I payed $30 for all the DLC each day 1 so I don't get my free case,disc and poster :( but the DLC on that disc is what counts and imo it's worth way more than $30. I made it to level 50 in multiplayer and got the platinum trophy on September 25th. I played it for over 300 hours in the last half of 2010. I have 100% of the trophies in Red Dead Redemption which is not something a whole lot of people can say. Even without the Multiplayer, Single player alone was GOTY. RDR is my favorite game of this generation and If you don't think it is a 10 out of 10, you are mistaken.
RDR has the fun factor GTA4 should have had. Such an awesome game.
