Without fail, every time someone purchases a new console for gaming whether its Xbox, PlayStation or even PC the first question that the person asks is What are some good games that I should buy? Its a question that I have been asked repeatedly by friends and family, and a question that I love to discuss with those who are new and unfamiliar to the console, as well as those who are more experienced in gaming.
Because the What to buy question is one that has been asked many times on this very forum, I wanted to put together a list of some of games that are essential to play for the PlayStation 3.
This is NOT a list of exclusive games for the PlayStation, but rather a list of some of the best games to help build the ultimate PlayStation library & get the maximum enjoyment out of Sonys gaming console. I am very much aware that some of the games on this list have been released on other consoles.
There are a number of games that could have made this list but didnt. For example: Why did Uncharted 1 & 2 make this list but not Uncharted 3? For the sole reason that the Uncharted Dual pack gives you a bigger bang for your buck. The point is that anyone could make a valid argument for any game that should be on this list and I encourage everyone to comment and share their thoughts on games that should have made this list.
Also, I tried to make this list as diverse as possible & include games of a wide number of genres. I didnt include a game like Grand Theft Auto IV, because I included Red Dead Redemption and the two games are very similar, so I chose what I considered the better game.
The following is a list, in no particular order, of PlayStation games that deserve to be experienced by all PS3 gamers, both those new to the console, as well as long time users.
The Uncharted series is one of the PS3s biggest & best franchises. This action/adventure game combines platforming with third-person shooting gameplay elements to create some of the best action & set pieces in gaming, along with an incredible story. The Uncharted games also have some of the best visuals that were second to none.
You play as Nathan Drake, a modern day treasure hunter & descendant of Sir François Drake, as he travels the world in search of hidden mysteries & riches such as the lost treasure of El Dorado & the lost city of Shambhala. While in search of the treasure, youll engage in gunfight battles with pirates, swing from jungle vines, scale ancient walls & solve puzzles, all accompanied by your friend Victor Sullivan & a female companion.
A multiplayer gameplay was added in Uncharted 2, comprising of both competitive and co-operative multiplayer. The co-op multiplayer allows up to three players to take on the the roles of Drake and two other "hero" companions and features missions involving gunfights, platforming, and teamwork-based objectives. The competitive multiplayer allows ten players to play against each other in two teams of five in modes such as Deathmatch, Plunder, Elimination, King of the Hill, and Turf War.
The strong story, characters, beautiful visuals, & cinematic set pieces truly show what the PlayStation 3 is capable of in a gaming experience. These games should not go unplayed.
Heavy Rain is an innovative, intriguing and immersive drama psychological thriller video game, featuring four protagonists involved with the mystery of the Origami Killer.
The player interacts with the game by performing actions highlighted on screen related to motions on the controller, and in some cases, performing a series of quick time events during fast-paced action sequences. The player's decisions and actions during the game will affect the narrative. For example: You can kill the main characters and the game will still progress leading to different scenes and endings.

The Portal games are two of the most original and unique gaming experiences that the PlayStation has to offer. This a first-person puzzle/platform game comprises a series of puzzles that must be solved by teleporting the player's character and simple objects using the "portal gun", a device that can create inter-spatial portals between two flat planes. The game's physics allow momentum to be retained through these portals, which must be used creatively to maneuver through the game's challenges.
Within the single player campaign, the player returns as the human Chell, having awakened from stasis after many years. Chell must navigate the now-dilapidated Aperture Science Enrichment Center and its test chambers with the portal gun while the facility is rebuilt by the reactivated GLaDOS, an evil artificially intelligent computer that first appeared in Portal. Portal manages to find a perfect balance between difficulty and rewarding the player for completing each test chamber.
Portal 2 also includes a two-player co-operative mode, in which the robotic player-characters Atlas and P-Body are each given a portal gun and are required to work together to solve test chambers specifically designed to require cooperation.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is role-playing video game that takes place in the land of Skyrim, which is in the midst of a civil war after the assassination of the high king. The story revolves around your efforts to defeat the Nordic dragon god Alduin, who is prophesied to destroy the world. The open world, nonlinear gameplay in Skyrim allows the player to explore the land at will and ignore or postpone the main quest indefinitely, but raiding dungeons, completing various quests and challenges given to the player by non-playable characters, providing hundreds of hours of gameplay.
Character development is a primary element of Skyrim. At the beginning of the game, the player selects one of several human, elven, or anthropomorphic races, each of which has different natural abilities, and customizes their character's appearance. A perpetual objective for the player is to improve their character's skills, which are numerical representations of their ability in certain areas such as combat, magic and stealth.
The inclusion of dragons in Skyrim affords a major influence on both story and gameplay.. They are randomly-generated, meaning their numbers are infinite, and they can attack cities and towns at any time. Early in the game, the player character learns that they are Dragonborn, which allows the player to use powerful spells called dragon shouts. Twenty different dragon shouts can be discovered by visiting "dragon walls" in dungeons, and they are unlocked for use by absorbing the souls of slain dragons.

You switch perspectives between a U.S. Reconnaissance Marine and a British SAS commando and engage the Ultranationalist in multiple locations, including Credenhill in the UK, the Middle East, Russia, and the Ukraine.
The main attraction to Modern Warfare is the revolutionary multiplayer portion of the game that features various game modes, and contains an addictive leveling system that allows the player to unlock additional weapons, weapon attachments, and camouflage schemes as they advance. The online multiplayer also has never before seen features such as killstreaks which reward the player with perks such as UAV, airstrikes, helicopter support etc, which provide a slight advantage to the player and the team.
