Good Games For Ps3 And Xbox 360
It might have been eclipsed by the success of the PS4, but the list of the best PS3 games is quite something to behold. There are still some absolute crackers like, and that all belong to the PS3 generation. And then there are the under-appreciated classics like Resistance 3, Dead Space 2, and the LittleBigPlanet series. And, er, if you're looking to upgrade your console, here are the best available now and take a look at the to start your library off fast. Want more PlayStation goodness?
Here are the to play right now. Other great PlayStation features: The The The The25. Tokyo JungleYou'd be forgiven for overlooking Tokyo Jungle; the game looks like a B-grade title, with blurry textures and blocky models throughout. But you don't play Tokyo Jungle for the graphics - you play it so you can control a pack of beagles taking on a lion. You play it to dress a giraffe in silly hats. You play it because Tokyo Jungle is an addictive roguelike, constantly offering new surprises and challenging you to perfect your routes through an abandoned city as you hunt for food and mates to keep your species alive.
Its simple gameplay and plethora of unlockable animals means you'll get the hang of things quickly, but constantly be striving to get that next piece of the puzzle. LittleBigPlanet 2With the possible exception of Minecraft, no other console game nurtures the imaginations and creativity of its players like. The first game's user-content creation tools were a revolution in player freedom, and the sequel not only refines these options, but expands them to allow you - yes, you - to create not only fresh levels, but whole new stories, worlds and even games. And the stuff the community has created is unbelievable.No, LittleBigPlanet 2 doesnt have as sophisticated a platforming system as the Marios and Raymans of this world (it's still heaps of fun, regardless), but to judge the game on these terms is as short-sighted as dismissing War and Peace because you dont like the font it's printed in. Simply put, this is one of the most important, relevant, and entertaining games on any PlayStation.23. Hotline MiamiHotline Miami is the game your parents always warned you about back in the 1980s, a video game from an alternate universe where Reagan became Forever President and The Running Man is actually a real thing you can watch on TV.
Don a rubber animal mask of your choosing and wander into one of a few dozen pixelated murder carnivals to waste every mook in sight, as the background colors pulsate along with the way-too-cool-for-you synthwave soundtrack. Hotline Miami is raw, punk fury, a hypnotic display of hyperviolence one step away from pure, unadulterated anarchy - Just don't tell your parents. Batman: Arkham CityHow do you make the best superhero game of all time better? You add a whole lot more of it, and drop all of that into one of the best-realised open-world cities ever seen in a game. Smartly choosing fidelity, personality and meaningful design over sheer scale for scale's sake, Rocksteady's quarantined chunk of Gotham is one of the most striking, affecting and most entirely purposeful environments seen in an entire generation. Letting the empowering yet perfectly balanced mechanics of the first game really fly, literally and figuratively, s structure is an equally grand victory in both gameplay and aesthetic terms.But just as importantly, it never dominates or detracts from what made Arkham Asylum great.
The same mix of intelligent, creative sandbox stealth and taxing, thrilling, almost musical combat still underpins everything, and is even better than it ever was before. That Arkham City also plays host to a Batman story dark, dramatic and entirely epic enough to stand up in any medium is just the icing on the utility cake.21. Deus Ex: Human RevolutionIt shouldn't have worked.
It shouldn't have even been attempted. It should have been a dumbed-down, lite-RPG cyberpunk shooter with a recognisable name stapled on. But miraculously, Eidos Montreal's is the real thing, a layered, complex, entirely player-driven action-RPG with freedom, creative thinking and choice at the core of its every element.Effectively whatever game you want it to be, it's even more impressive that DE:HR manages to offer so much customisation of experience while also being so coherent. Its dense story of conspiracy and philosophical tension - both global and personal - will drag you along whatever you choose your character's stance to be, and the cohesive, lived-in nature of its world-building is second to none.20.
Burnout ParadiseWhen came out, multiplatform games were always better on Xbox 360. Criterion always made PS2 sing and PS3's Burnout Paradise still looks sensational. It revised the Burnout formula too, combining an open world city and surrounding countryside to race around.
But the wealth of enjoyable things to do make this better than EA's more recent Need for Speed outings.It's in the little things, like trying to handbrake-turn your car into a parking space (for which it grades you), or trying to leap down the side of a mountain and land without totalling your car. DLC patches even fixed the few annoyances in the original release's structure, meaning this truly is a Burnout-themed paradise. Great soundtrack, too.19. Resistance 3The Resistance series went from decent launch game to disappointing sequel to FPS masterpiece over the course of the PS3's lifespan. Its a shame then, that - the FPS masterpiece from the first sentence - signaled the end of the series. There's something so utterly right about R3. It's the way the alternate-reality '50s setting combines with the mad, yet satisfying, alien weaponry, and mixes in with the heart-warming story of a father protecting his family that makes this game a stand-out.Each stage is well pitched too - there are few, if any, weak moments - and the combat is slicker than a gull plucked from the gulf of Mexico.
Every time you think you've got it nailed, the story throws another situation or problem at you, forcing you to adapt and explore the game's versatility even further. Which you'll gladly do to bring Joe Capelli's sad, hopeful tale to its thrilling conclusion.18.
Yakuza 5Lots of games talk about how big they are, but few offer a wealth of wildly entertaining and bizarre things to do like the Yakuza games. At its heart, Yakuza 5 is a deeply serious story of the Japanese criminal underworld, of evil men doing bad things and righteous men ripping their shirts off in one swift motion to stop them in hand-to-hand combat. But Yakuza 5 isn't just a brawler. It's also a taxi driving sim; a hunting game; and a Japanese pop idol sim (complete with dance battles!). It's got baseball minigames, ramen cooking minigames, stand-up comedy minigames, an arcade with damn-near full versions of Virtua Fighter 2 and Taiko Drum Master, and so much more - and all of these pursuits are fun in their own unique ways.
Yakuza 5 is an exuberant abundance of gritty crime drama and abject silliness, and while it may not be the best place to hop in for newcomers, it's got more than enough goodies inside to entertain anyone. Call of Duty 4: Modern WarfareWhatever you think of COD's current state, theres no denying that was a watershed moment for games.
Not only did it revive the tired FPS genre, and transform Call of Duty from ok shooter into OMG shooter, it set a benchmark for multiplayer gaming and provided an incredible, 8 hour rollercoaster of a story that few have matched since. The ghillie suit stage, the opening scenes on the tanker, that ending - Modern Warfare is stuffed full of memorable moments.And guess what: it has aged really well. While subsequent Call of Duty games have attempted to build on Modern Warfare, making the action ever more bombastic, this stands as an exercise in stripped back, streamlined entertainment. There's no fluff here, just 8 hours of smooth FPS action that still outclasses all its imitators.16.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsOld Snake may have a creaky back and snarl even more than he used to, but he's still got it where it counts. Is still a technical showcase for PS4, just as MGS2 was for PS2 before it. But, crucially, it uses the advancements in technology to better its gameplay. The camouflage suit, in particular, is not only fun to use but useful in the tense stealth situations you find yourself in.You could criticise Kojima and his team for making the storyline too complex and movie-like (especially in terms of the length of its cut-scenes), but the cast of characters and bosses are all memorable, and there's no denying the drama at the game's conclusion. However, had one scene in particular ended the other way, this would likely be even higher up this list. Still essential gaming if you own a PS3.Turn to page 2 for more best PS3 games.
Sony's PlayStation 3 is a marvel of technology, while the Xbox 360 has been out for over 12 months. But which games console outputs the best graphics? Carried out some checks and found that the graphics of most of the Xbox 360 games were superior to those of the PS3.poll id=48The Gamespot examined a large number of games before coming to their conclusion.
These included:. Need for Speed Carbon. Call of Duty 3. Madden 07. Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
NBA 2K7. Fight Night Round 3. Tony Hawk's Project 8. Tiger Woods PGA 07Conclusion:We expected the PlayStation 3 to ship with several games that first appeared on the Xbox 360, similar to how the Xbox 360 had a lot of Xbox ports at launch. And the PS3 did indeed arrive with a good number of games that originally shipped for the Xbox 360. This gave us the perfect opportunity to compare the graphics on both systems with several cross-platform games. You'd think that the PS3 versions would be exactly the same or slightly superior to the Xbox 360 versions, since many of these games appeared on the 360 months ago, but it seems like developers didn't use the extra time to polish up the graphics for the PS3.
We found that the Xbox 360 actually had better graphics in the majority of the games we compared.To my eye, the Xbox 360 graphics do look better for most of the games. My advice is unchanged - unless you absolutely need to be at the cutting edge, wait 6 - 12 months for the PS3.
