PlayStation 3 Statistics
First Available: November 11, 2006
Over 66 million consoles sold as of 2012
Over 700 different titles released on this console
One of the greatest moments after getting my first job was saving up my first few paychecks to buy my first PlayStation 3. It was a $400 gaming console with free online play and a built in Blu-ray player, and being 18 years old, those were significant bonuses that made this deal so hard to pass up. That was only the beginning of my continuing adventure with this amazing gaming console. The list below is compiled of the games I believe are the best on this console system. Enjoy.
1. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 – November 2012
The most recent title in this popular series, this game brought both old and futuristic weapons into a great first person shooter.

The PS3 was $499 and $599 when it first came out, not $400 you bozo.
Hey my apologies on that, I should have specified that the PlayStation 3 I had bought was $399 rather than the original prices that you mentioned. Thanks for the comment!
Are you aware that over 20% of the games on this list are Call of Duty games? Did you really not have a more diverse PS3 experience than this? The only Call of Duty game worthy of being on a list such as this is CoD 2 or CoD 4. And you have not only Assassin’s Creed 1, but Assassin’s Creed 2 as well? The first game was repetitive and boring. The second was infinitely better and is the only one worthy of being on this list. No Metal Gear? No Demon’s Souls? No Uncharted? Step your game up, bruh.
Hey thanks for leaving a comment on my post. Sadly you are right my gaming experience has not been able to touch on some of those titles that you mentioned. Thank you for reminding me about them though, I will be sure to pick up those titles when I have some more time to appreciate them. Thanks again!
I’d put infamous higher but overall it’s an ok list.
