BioShockBioShock

Definitely one of my favorites if not my favorite of this generation. Top 3 for sure.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $16.98
Again, top 3, the reason I bought a ps3 in the first place. What can I say, I love the story
Fallout 3: Game of The Year EditionFallout 3: Game of The Year Edition
Buy new: $56.99 / Used from: $49.86
This is probably in my top 3 also, if not it's way up there. I didn't much care for oblivion but this just had the perfect setting
Grand Theft Auto IVGrand Theft Auto IV
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $17.24
well nothing else I can say about this
Call of Duty 4: Modern WarfareCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Buy used from: $21.98
I just love the solo campaign, and the multiplayer kept me coming back. Made halo 3 seem like a joke.
Mass EffectMass Effect
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $11.99
I love all the choices in this game.
Fable IIFable II
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $18.68
Better than I expected, Longer also. Combat wasn't too deep but there were a lot of choices. I loved the dog too. It was fun buying every property in Albion.
Gears of War 2Gears of War 2
Buy new: $42.93 / Used from: $24.99
I liked this much better than the first game. Like 100 times more, I actually didn't really like the first one. This one seemed more varied and even though I didn't play it for the story, it seemed much better.
Left 4 Dead - Game of the Year EditionLeft 4 Dead - Game of the Year Edition
Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $24.98
Basically this and CoD4 were the only reason I bought live. The zombies, my god the zombies. I love zombies.
Rock BandRock Band
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $9.81
Right when I got tired of guitar hero this came along. Good thing it did, really fun at parties. Plus I play drums in real life, so how could I not love it.
The Orange BoxThe Orange Box
Buy new: $19.82 / Used from: $13.49
Even though this game is way cheaper than when I bought it I still don't feel regret, I still feel like I got a great deal. Portal alone makes it worth it, plus I had never played half life 2 before, and that game was huge.
Prince of PersiaPrince of Persia
Buy new: $24.39 / Used from: $13.35
Even with the no death thing, I loved this game. The world is one of the most beautiful places I have visited in a game.
InfamousInfamous
Buy new: $36.99 / Used from: $29.00
Play it 2 different ways and it actually makes it radically different. Another great reason to own a ps3
Resistance 2Resistance 2
Buy new: $56.99 / Used from: $24.99
I don't know what all the negativity for this game is. I really enjoyed it, better than the first for sure, which wasn't shabby either.
LittleBigPlanetLittleBigPlanet
Buy new: $74.98 / Used from: $36.98
The one ps3 game I play regularly if not only for a half hour at a time. I really am glad people are supporting this online as much as they do. There are so many good levels online.
Valkyria ChroniclesValkyria Chronicles
Buy new: $44.44 / Used from: $22.99
This game is a gem. More people should buy it. It's just such a neat concept, reminds me of a more involved advance wars, a good thing to me. I love the graphics and it has a good story too.
Uncharted: Drake's FortuneUncharted: Drake's Fortune
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $20.75
I never really like the tomb raider series very much, but I loved this. Still some of the best graphics I've seen on the ps3.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Buy new: $46.99 / Used from: $32.92
Well this is the reason I bought the wii, and this game was a blast. I don't care if it wasn't as revolutionary than ocarina of time, it improved it I think. One of the best zelda's made.
Super Paper MarioSuper Paper Mario
Buy new: $46.99 / Used from: $28.98
One of my favorite series. I liked the 2d/3d thing. I'm glad they changed up the series.
Super Mario GalaxySuper Mario Galaxy
Buy new: $45.77 / Used from: $33.35
Well I did not think this was going to be as good as it turned out to be, and I still had high expectations. I would put it up there with super mario 64, and I still play that game. I bought the wii for zelda, I was surprised when mario overtook it for my favorite wii game.
Super Smash Bros. BrawlSuper Smash Bros. Brawl
Buy new: $46.99 / Used from: $30.99
Well they took my favorite fighter on gamecube and added more. Can't complain.
No More HeroesNo More Heroes
Buy new: $70.69 / Used from: $16.90
Well I got a wii to take advantage of the different types of games being released, so mature and weird, I love it.
MadWorldMadWorld
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $8.50
So ironic. The wii, the ultimate family console, would have a game more bloody that any game I have seen, has more strong language than most any game I have seen. This game is completely ridiculous.
BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Standard EditionBlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Standard Edition
Buy new: $52.98 / Used from: $51.00
I'm glad I bought this game, I was weary of fighting games since street fighter 4 owned me, but this game is amazing. So much style. Not too hard to learn how to play, so if you're a newbie to fighters like me, go for it.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
Buy new: $37.85 / Used from: $28.95
Yea, last generation, but it was the last great ps2 game, and it was release this generation. I'm going to count it. Still holds up too the current gen.
