There's a lot of games on PS3 that are absolute classics. I'm sure I could easily make a top 50 list.
But I feel like the PS3 was greatly over-shadowed in the seventh generation by the vastly superior Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.
Anyway, I'm not including PS2 remakes, because otherwise most of them would just be PS2 games lol. These are also in no particular order.
1. BlazBlue Calamity Trigger - To this day, this is still my favorite fighting game (with 3rd Strike a close 2nd). It has every tool needed so that I never feel like I was screwed over by dumb mechanics (which happens in SFIV all the time, and is basically all that MvC3 is). Anyway, the first game is still my favorite in the series. I like the rest of the games too, but it's never felt quite the same.
2. Saints Row The Third - I thought I hated open world games until I played this. I fell in love with it instantly too. It somewhat saddens me that Volition will likely never make another game like it.
3. Tales of Graces f - When I first played the demo for this game, I absolutely hated it. I thought the controls were garbage. But then I picked up during a sale, because I thought it was kind of criminal that it was the only game in the main Tales series I hadn't played. And I'm glad I did. It's amazing. I don't understand how they could go from this, to the heaping pile of garbage that was Xillia.
4. Metal Gear Solid 4 - I've never been a huge MGS fan. I played the first one and liked it, but could never get into 2 or 3. But when I bought my PS3, my boss (at the time) talked me into getting it, and I'm glad he did. I did everything there is to do in this game, and then I played through it again for fun. You can imagine my rage when I found out that old saves were incompatible with the trophies. I haven't felt like doing it all again, but I still consider it one of the best games this generation.
5. Mass Effect 3 - A lot of people give me shit for not saying ME2 is my favorite, but I've always put gameplay above story, and ME3 has the best gameplay in the series, by far. I also loved the hell out of the multiplayer. Even before the game was released, I played the MP demo for days straight until it was taken down. I even go back to it occasionally, even though I've gotten the plat.
