During the lifespan of the PlayStation 3, there were over 5,000 games released for the console. These titles covered every genre and style imaginable and ranged in quality, but included some of the best and most recognizable games of the generation. The sleek and versatile system found its way into many homes, particularly as it offered the ability to play Blu-ray movies as well as video games, and it had everything from family-friendly games to more gruesome and serious titles.
The PS3 was a marvel of technology when it was first released in 2006, offering superior graphics to any seen to that point, and it was able to have Wi-Fi capabilities, which were perfect for the newly created PlayStation Network. The PS3’s sophisticated Cell processor also made it much more powerful than the competition of the time, and games developed for the system could be more advanced than ever before. All these features would still mean nothing without good games, though, and, thankfully, its library includes some of the best and highest rated of all time.
CoD: Modern Warfare 2 was the sixth game in the Call of Duty franchise and is still regarded as one of the best shooters to have ever been made, even getting a campaign remaster in 2020 to keep the game fresh and available on modern consoles. Its story campaign, multiplayer, and co-op missions all hit their marks perfectly, earning the game a Metacritic score of 94 on the PS3. Even with newer games available, CoD: Modern Warfare 2 remains the go-to choice for many looking for an excellent multiplayer shooter.
Although the PS3 release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was initially plagued with some bugs and glitches that lowered its Metacritic score to 92 rather than the 96 it was receiving on other systems, Skyrim is still one of the most iconic games to come out of that gaming generation. Skyrim has been released at least 17 times on 10 different platforms and continues to be replayed regularly by many. On the PS3, there were reports of problems with the game having slow save times and occasional loading glitches, but overall, the game remains one of the best titles, regardless of platform.
The Last Of Us is an incredibly recognizable game these days, particularly since the release of its TV series and remakes of the games in recent years. This cultural phenomenon all started with the original The Last Of Us, which was made exclusively for the PS3 at the time of its release. Following the now-familiar story of Joel and Ellie escaping infected enemies through a post-apocalyptic environment is still as emotional a story as it was when it first debuted. This original version of the game earned a Metacritic score of 95, with a User score of 9.2.
