Don't let Borderlands' laughable box art fool you this is one hell of an engrossing game. One of Borderlands' greatest strengths, however, was its online cooperative gameplay as well as your ability to find literally limitless permutations of weapons in which to arm yourself with. A FPS-RPG from Gearbox Software, Borderlands' paltry story and shallow characters were easily eclipsed by its deep quest-based gameplay, sprawling environments and deadly enemies. There are few games on the list that outright surprised as many people as Borderlands did. Fall of Man's deep, lengthy gameplay is still much-revered today and helped push the Resistance series as one of PS3's most important.

That game was Resistance: Fall of Man, a dark, dreary game that took place in an alternate history where aliens are quickly seizing control of the Earth.

Back in the fall of 2006, many gamers were surprised to learn that Insomniac, the makers of Ratchet & Clank and Spyro, would be working on a first-person shooter to help push the PS3 out of the door. Launch titles are especially important for any console as it rushes out of the gate, and the PlayStation 3 was no exception. Released NovemRead the Review See It in Action A Crack in Time is a standout action-platformer that's both challenging and accessible, one of the hallmarks of Ratchet & Clank since the PlayStation 2 days and the singular reason why Ratchet & Clank games have such broad appeal. The most recent entry into the saga on PlayStation 3 was A Crack in Time, a great game that not only takes full advantage of PS3's tech, but keeps the series' beloved characters, humor and weapons intact as well. There are few franchises more synonymous with the PlayStation brand than Insomniac's Ratchet & Clank series. Still, Demon's Souls is a huge game with tons to do and just the right mix of sadomasochism and addictive gameplay. If you die, you have to restart at the beginning of the level and make it back to your stuff.

You need to crawl through environments slaying monsters. Some hate the game because it's so old school, but others are drawn to it for that very reason. Truth be told, Demon's Souls is a polarizing title. Released OctoRead the Review See It in Action

Motorcycles, a DeLorean knockoff, tracks and more have been just some of the additions to this online racer, and now it's less than $10. It's beautiful, it's deep and Criterion has been continually supporting it since launch in 2008. There isn't much to say about Burnout Paradise - it's pretty much the perfect racing game.
