Ten PS3 Games You Really Should Own

So, you've just purchased a Sony Playstation3. Excellent decision, indeed! You're in for countless hours of video gaming fun. The Sony Playstation3 is, without a doubt, one of the most powerful, the most reliable and the most functional console in the current generation of video game machines.

Now, there's one question that's stopping you at the gates of video gaming heaven...

What games should you play with your Sony Playstation3?

Here are 10 "must have" games for the console. Any of them will provide many hours of memorable enjoyment.

1. Metal Gear Solid 4: Sons of the Patriot. One of only a handful of games that garnered the perfect score in websites like GameSpot and magazines like the now defunct Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM), MGS4 is a masterpiece in storytelling. Boasting of more than 4 hours of cinematic, the title - and the series for that matter - has always been criticized for being more of a movie than an actual game. Sony would rather call it "interactive storytelling," and even if the movies overshadow the game play most of the time, something that cannot b denied is that this title is beautiful.

2. Little Big Planet. Imagine a soup upped version of old school platformers like Super Mario, Sonic, and Klonoa... only this time, you can create your own world and share it with other people from all over the (real) world! Little Big Planet is a revolution in gaming, making it one of the newer flagship titles for the Sony Playstation3.

3. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. The Sony Playstation3's first "must have" exclusive is a combination of Gears of War and Tomb Raider. Fans of exploration-adventure games and first person shooters will be in for a treat!

4. Killzone 2. The Sony Playstation3's most hyped game delivered big time, selling more than 2 million copies on its first month of release. This FPS boasts of the best graphics found on the Sony PS3 so far.

5. BioShock. Previously an Xbox 360 exclusive, BioShock has found its way to the Sony Playstation3 with added features to boot. The Game of the Year for 2007 is ready to show PS3 owners why it is hailed as the best FPS with the best storyline in the entire history of video gaming.

6. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Go anywhere, do anything, be the person you want to be. This is the premise for the high fantasy RPG that is Oblivion.

7. Fallout 3. Using the Oblivion engine, the post apocalyptic world of the Fallout series - which many claim included the best games ever made - is brought to life. Your choices in the game will define your character and will lead to one of many possible endings. Fallout 3 is the unanimous choice for Game of the Year, 2008, in many gaming websites.

8. Grand Theft Auto IV. The king of sandbox games, GTAIV is the best in the series. Play the role of Niko Belic as he adjusts to life in the Big Apple (or at least, a replica of New York City) and struggle with his conscience on whether or not to take on criminal assignments to survive life in America.

9. Eternal Sonata. Japanese RPGs on the Sony Playstation3 are rare. Eternal Sonata may be one of those rare titles, but it is a thing of absolute beauty. Every scene of this game will take your breath away. Plus, the storyline is quite unique for a Japanese RPG. It involves a fictional world in the mind of renowned musician Frederic Chopin while he was on his deathbed.

10. Guitar Hero: World Tour/Rockband 2. The most commercially successful games in recent memory are also parts of the Sony Playstation3 library. Take a guitar and strum to the tune of your favorite rock music, or gather 3 other friends and form a band that will conquer all the challenges that these games will throw your way.
