The 11 Best PS3 Games (Page 2 of 7)

10. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Now that the PS3 version of the game has been released, it is quite possible that only one year into the current generation of next-gen consoles, we have already witnessed the finest American role-playing game on the new generation of systems.

With Oblivion, publisher and developer Bethesda has achieved complete and utter mastery of the American RPG, a style of gaming that, at its very best, enthusiastically embraces the Dungeons & Dragons archetype with no winks, nods, or other forms of irony. Fighting orcs, trolls, and worse with swords and sorcery and attempting to save the world from savage darkness was no laughing matter in Tolkien's world. What a welcome relief, then, to find an RPG that establishes the same level of earnest gravitas.

PlayStation 3 owners who are skeptical that their six hundred hard-earned dollars were spent in vain or who have already burned through the first wave of primarily action-driven games now have a deep, rich, and meaningful experience to play into. You'd be a fool to miss out on this one.

9. Warhawk

If you like blowing things up, your PS3 and Warhawk will help with this slight aberration, letting you enjoy the soothing art of explosions.

Going online in this online-only fragfest is delightfully painless and simple, and as soon as you join a game, your character will spawn at your chosen drop point. Immediately, there is no doubt you are at war; bullets are flying by your head, bombs are exploding off in the distance, and a thick cloud of smoke billows out of a burning building.

The flying aspect of Warhawk is what truly defines it and sets it apart from other third-person combat MMOs. There are plenty of planes scattered across the battlefield, and as soon as you make your selection and climb onboard, the plane starts hovering. Hold down the R2 button and you vehicle will rise up into the clouds. When you're at a safe height, tap the triangle button and the Warhawk converts to flight mode and you're ready to tear up the skies.

While at times it can be overwhelming and has somewhat of a steep learning curve, Warhawk slams just about every common type of type of weapon and vehicle, land and air, into its massive multiplayer mode and it's all good fun...easily the PS3's best multiplayer experience so far.
