Many people purchase the PS3 as a Blu-Ray player that can double as a gaming console, but the PS3 is a gaming console that can double as a Blu-Ray player. This is backed by the huge list of great games available for the PS3. Here’s a look at some of the top PS3 games of the year.

Top Games for the PlayStation 3

God of War III

The God of War series has been an extremely popular PlayStation title, and God of War III is no exception. The game play stays true to the epic adventure of the previous titles, putting you in control of the Hero Kratos, on his mission to strike down the gods once and for all.

Heavy Rain

The Origami Killer is at large, and it’s your job to track him down and stop him from killing again. Follow four main characters, each with their own leads and motives in a thrilling crime drama, full of unexpected twists and turns.

Red Dead Redemption

This one is actually a cross-platform game, available on all of the major consoles. Rockstar Games pretty much took their immensely popular Grand Theft Auto series and gave it an old western spin. The result is a great game with a fresh story.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

The first Uncharted game was really designed to showcase the amazing capabilities of the PS3, and while it looked great, it was a bit dull to play. Uncharted 2 takes those amazing graphics and pairs them with more dynamic gameplay, creating an excellent experience.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

The Castlevania series has been around for over 20 years, and Lords of Shadow is among the best of the series. It’s a classic mix of combat and puzzles, staying true to the series but with the added perk of modern 3D graphics.
