THE 10 BEST PS3 GAMES: FROM UNCHARTED 2 TO GTA 4, ONLY MASTERPIECES IN THE RANKING
- 10 – Call of Duty Modern Warfare – 94 out of 100
- 9 – BioShock Infinite – 94
- 8 – Portal 2 – 95
- 7 – The Last of Us – 95
- 6 – Red Dead Redemption – 95
5 – LittleBigPlanet – 95/100
The first, unforgettable chapter of the LittleBigPlanet sandbox series is not only one of the most beautiful and fun platformers ever, but it is also one of the most ‘creative’ video games ever made. Behind the sweetness of Sackottino’s looks and the ‘superficial light-heartedness’ of the adventures experienced by the emulators of the ‘crazy rag doll’ lies a multiverse of interactive experiences that changes dynamically depending on the users, with the latter true protagonists of the monumental work accomplished by the content creators.

4 – Batman Arkham City – 96/100
Unanimously considered one of the most successful action adventures of its generation (along with Darksiders), Batman Arkham City is the sum of Rocksteady’s digital experiences , an extremely current blockbuster even almost fifteen years after its arrival on the market. There are many factors that combine to make Arkahm City a timeless masterpiece, such as the extraordinary combat system, a first-rate narrative plot and one of the richest and most layered open worlds.
3 – Uncharted 2 Among Thieves – 96/100
If the first chapter of the action adventure odyssey experienced by Nathan Drake’s emulators was able to showcase the enormous talent of Naughty Dog , it is only thanks to Uncharted 2 that the PlayStation Studios subsidiary was able to fully demonstrate the enormous potential of complex hardware like that of the PS3 . Many remember Il Covo dei Ladri as the beginning of the path undertaken in the following years by Sony with the ‘cinematic’ first parties: the writer, however, prefers to look at Uncharted 2 only and exclusively as one of the most entertaining video game experiences and unforgettable ever.
2 – Grand Theft Auto 5 – 97/100
That September 13, 2013, we all considered the launch of GTA 5 on PS3 and Xbox 360 as a video game event of international resonance, but very few would have looked at the odyssey of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as a real watershed for the entire entertainment industry. There’s no need to bother with the record sales figures for GTA 5 or the community’s talk about the popularity of GTA Online to look at Grand Theft Auto V as the ‘dominus’ of the sector, a monumental project that has determined the fate of the industry in the last decade and which, judging by the interest aroused by Trailer 1 of GTA 6, promises (or threatens?) to do the same with the sequel
1 – Grand Theft Auto 4 – 98/100
Well yes, only that killjoy Niko Bellic could have had the strength to look down on the protagonists of GTA 5. The resounding 98 out of 100 that stands out on the Metascore of Grand Theft Auto 4 makes it the most important and representative video game of the entire PlayStation 3 toy library, for a whole series of reasons: no game, then as now, has been able to merge the anarchic freedom of the GTA classics with the depth of a story as mature as it is original, all by placing the player in a context free roaming that to define immersive and realistic would almost be an insult to the talent demonstrated by Rockstar in building simply legendary interactive worlds. And you, what do you think of the ranking of the best PS3 video games ever? Before reading your comments, we remind you that on the pages of Everyeye.it you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of GTA 4 with the epic moments and mythical phrases of the Rockstar masterpiece , an in-depth study full of anecdotes and food for thought on the odyssey experienced by the emulators by Niko Bellic.
