Playstation 3 Games 

PlayStation 3 games and franchises that are crowd favorites

You finally got your PlayStation 3, and now it's time to build a collection of PlayStation 3 games that will keep you entertained for the next few years. While new games come out every year, there are a few favorite franchises and games that continue to please PlayStation fans over and over. Many of these favorite versions started out as PlayStation 2 or PSP games, and have now been adapted for the next generation as PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Vita games, carrying on the tradition of great storylines, killer graphics and phenomenally interesting game play.

PlayStation 3 hardware is designed to handle games with superior graphics and sound quality, mostly due to the fact that the PlayStation 3 reads Blu-Ray discs, which hold a lot more data than traditional CDs or DVDs. The PlayStation 3 is backward compatible, which means you'll still be able to play all your favorite games from your PlayStation 2. However, almost every favorite franchise from PlayStation 2 has a new incarnation in the PlayStation 3, so it's worth trying out at least a few new games. After all, you won't get the full PS3 experience until you try gaming in Blu-Ray.

The PlayStation 3 is known for great action games. First person shooters like Metal Gear Solid are great for play on the PS3 console. Other great action and shooter games include Uncharted, Infamous, Resistance and Killzone. Role playing games are also popular. While many first person shooters involve the familiar storyline concepts of role playing games, some popular franchises like God of War are intensely story-driven, and encourage you to solve puzzles as well as fight your way out of tight situations. Most popular in the role-playing game category are the Final Fantasy series and Kingdom Hearts, a family-friendly romp through Disney movies. These titles are specific to the PlayStation brand, so take advantage of the gaming platform by working your way through these.

Family games also abound for the PlayStation 3. The Little Big Planet franchise is arguably the most fun and well-loved of all the PS3 family games. Likewise, Ratchet and Clank" have won the hearts of many in their crazy but fun adventures. In addition, many of your favorite video games from Disney and professional sports are available on the PlayStation 3. With the addition of the PlayStation Move, a motion-sensor control, many new games are now available for people who want to get up off the couch. If you are a novice gamer, you will love the fact that the PlayStation move doesn't require you to hit any buttons or pull any triggers; instead you simply use the motion of your own body to control the game.

Gaming is a blast when you have a system that can handle complex graphics, high-quality sound, and new technologies that use your own body to help control game play.
