Ninja Gaiden Sigma - PS3

SWEET.

Ninja Gaiden is easily one of my favorites on the PS3, it's so much fun! You play as the famous ninja in black, Ryu Hayabusa, on a mission to obtain the Stolen Dark Dragon (an evil and very powerful sword) and avenge his destroyed village. However, during his journey, Ryu slowly learns that the fiends that stole the Dark Dragon are planning something absolutely SINISTER. So...yeah, the story is pretty cool. Ninja Gaiden also has impressive graphics(60 frames-per-second), and extremely challenging and addicting gameplay. Ryu obtains several kick ass weapons throughout the game, from nun chucks to swords that are bigger than he is. Each weapon has a set of its' own combos and moves, and more combos and abilities for Ryu's weapons can be obtained by upgrading them at shops, which are found all throughout stages as an old man statue. Athough upgrading weapons cost money, it is well worth it. The upgraded weapons gain more combos and sometimes even change appearance. The enemies and bosses in Ninja Gaiden are really challenging, but also entertaining to fight. From Vigoor Empire guards to gigantic fire-breathing dragons, Ninja Gaiden has all the bosses you could ask for. In short, Ninja Gaiden Sigma is a must-have for PS3 owners.

Heavenly Sword - PS3

Amazing visuals Not enough content
Awesome audio Doesn't live up to expectations
Engaging story  
Epic boss fights

Good but Could Have Been Awesome

Heavenly Sword is a good game but just falls short of amazing. The game has superb graphics and great audio. Story is fantastic and loaded with intense action and the gameplay is tremendously fun. Once you have the Heavenly Sword, you possess three fighting speed, power, and ranged. Each has an enormous amount of combos which you use to take down enemies and bosses. The bosses in Heavenly Sword are a thrill to fight, each of them skilled in one of the three The major factor that brings Heavenly Sword down is that the game is REALLY short. It only took me five hours to beat the whole thing. Still, despite that severe flaw, Heavenly Sword is a great game, it just didn't live up to expectations by being so short.

Metal Gear Solid 4

I got MGS4 the day it came out. I'm on my fourth playthrough and am still amazed. Incredible graphics and great audio are just the start of how awesome MGS4 is. The story is just epic (even though it can get confusing at times) and the gameplay is loads of fun. Unlike other Metal Gear games, you don't have to use stealth all the time to get through stages, you can run around and shoot people or do a combination of both. As you play through the game, you get a bunch of fantastic weapons and gear, from pistols to electromagnetic ray guns. By the way, you'll need the weapons and gear to take out the seven big bad bosses in the game, which are a blast to fight. However, the game does have some minor flaws. The multiplayer could have been better, I personally don't think it had enough game modes. Also, MGS4's cut scenes can get annoying sometimes. Some of them are really long and boring, like the mission briefings. Although, some of the cut scenes can be jaw dropping, like the Raiden vs. Vamp scenes. Bottom line: MGS4 is a masterpiece, and if you have a PS3 I highly recommend giving it a try.
