1.VALKYRIA CHRONICLES
I don't know if there's one thing you can point to and say "This is what made Valkyria Chronicles great." There's the jaw-dropping art style that looked like a canvas painting come to life, the blending of strategy and RPG mechanics, the story of Welkin and the Imperial Invasion – it was the whole package. You could play the game to try and take down tanks with your band of soldiers or play it to get a heartfelt tale of survival. It was entertaining to simply watch it or get lost in it. Valkyria Chronicles was – and is – a spectacle PS3 players should be playing.
2.DEMON'S SOULS
Demon's Souls is one of the biggest examples of a love it or hate it sort of game, and I happen to love it. It's unrelentingly punishing, and yet always manages to remain fair. If you don't respect what's in the world around you, you'll die and have to work to get your stuff back.
More than that, though, I love Demon's Souls because of its atmosphere. The world is desolate, and yet it invites you to explore its corners. Though almost all of the land's denizens are deadly, their interesting designs really make you want to see what lies (and will probably kill you) next.
Really, Demon's Souls shines because it's like nothing else around. It's not for everyone, but the people that like it simply fall in love.
And then die.
3.STREET FIGHTER 4
There couldn't have been a better way for Capcom to breathe new life into the legendary Street Fighter series. Street Fighter IV borrows a number of elements from the older Street Fighter titles and mixes in some modern innovations, making it the best of the old-school mechanics and a beginner-friendly learning curve. With a brand new visual style to go along with the super tight mechanics, Street Fighter IV is one of the best fighting games on current consoles. There's nothing better than taking an old favorite into the ring and pulling off classic special moves right off the bat.
4.RATCHET AND CLANK:A CRACK IN TIME
Leave it to Insomniac to once again nail the Ratchet and Clank franchise. A Crack in Time is an absolutely amazing addition to the long-running franchise for a number of reasons. Whether it's the humor, graphics, gunplay, platforming or the challenging time-based sections, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time has a lot to offer. With so much to unlock and level-up, players can sink a huge amount of time into A Crack in Time, and I appreciate a game that always gives you something to come back for.
5.SUPER STARDUST HD
After playing Super Stardust HD when it first arrived on the PlayStation Network for hours on end, I came to the conclusion that it was one of my favorite games of all time. Stardust is one of the finest dual-analog shooters around and its perfectly balanced gameplay is complemented by blistering, particle-filled visuals and a badass soundtrack. This was one of the first times in my life I became obsessed with getting highly ranked on the game's global leaderboards. Considering the fact that I still return to Super Stardust HD and have a blast should tell you how excellent this downloadable gem really is.
6.OBLIVION
Many games tout how much of an open-world experience they have, but Oblivion truly delivers by allowing the player to experience Tamriel however they want to play. The depth of the game is staggering, and whether you're trying to join one (or all) of the factions across the land, hunting mystical creatures through the numerous caves or closing the gates of Oblivion, you dictate the entire adventure from start to finish. Few games come close to offering that kind of flexibility.
7.DEAD SPACE
Forget zombies -- EA's Dead Space introduced players to a new nightmarish kind of monster to worry about. The Necromorphs that crawled, slithered and leapt at Isaac Clarke were frightening beasts that could unnerve any player. Wandering the darkened hallways of the Ishimura constantly kept you on edge that something was waiting in the shadows to rip you to pieces. Drawing from a seemingly inexhaustible library of horror references, Dead Space proved that survival horror could not exist in space; instead, it thrives quite nicely.
