The 11 Best PS3 Games (Page 4 of 7)

6. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

The folks at Naughty Dog have produced some amazing Crash and Jak & Daxter games in the past, but Uncharted is a big departure from the cartoon-y subject matter of the past. Here, the team turns its attention to photorealistic characters and a compelling narrative to drive this action-adventure game home.

And it does a damn nice job with its first game for the PS3. Uncharted offers up some amazing visuals and the gameplay is perfectly paced. You're always doing something interesting, whether it's investigating ancient ruins, trading bullets with modern-day pirates, or skydiving out of a burning airplane. And even though the story is a bit far-fetched, it's almost addictive in the sense that you'll want to help Nathan solve the mystery behind Sir Francis Drake's diary just to see it all through.

Uncharted reminds of an Indiana Jones movie in that it's a fun and enjoyable romp It isn't going to single-handedly pull Sony's bacon out of the fire this holiday season but it is definitely a title that PS3 owners can be proud to call their own.

5. Heavenly Sword

It's not a stretch to think of Heavenly Sword as "Goddess of War" because the combat takes more than few pages from God of War, but it also features a complex narrative that centers on a troubled main character and is married to a deep and substantial combat system.

If there is one thing Heavenly Sword does better than any other PS3 games to date--sans Uncharted--it's delivering on a captivating story: the main character Nariko belongs to a tribe whose fate is tied to a prophecy which proclaimed that a man would be born into their midst to save them. Unfortunately Nariko, who was born at the prophesized time, was born a woman, a fact that her fellow clansmen see as an omen of doom. Tied into the prophecy is the titular Heavenly Sword, a magical blade that is under the protection of the clan's protection. The evil King Bohan seeks the blade to consolidate his power and a war breaks out.

The game plays out through intensely fun combat sequences, but what draws you in is the story presentation and dynamite acting that keeps this thing interesting the whole way through.

While the combat isn't quite God of War-quality, it's close. What's most important, though, is that it's easy to use and enjoyable with relatively few annoyances. And while the whole experience is a little on the short side, you'll be more than thankful for quality over quantity.
