During the year 2010, there were lots of views between PS3 enthusiasts about what games ought to be ranked at the top. And for Sony's outstanding console, there were in fact a number of excellent titles to choose from. Nonetheless, over time a good deal of the controversy has been relegated to the lower ranks, with the best game titles being all but apparent. For this reason, despite a person's personal preference on whether these games should really be first, second, or third, there's very little question that they are among the top PS3 games for last year and even perhaps for all time.

The first title is without a doubt the jaw-dropping Assassin's Creed 2. It features Ezio, Altair's much more current heir, and his forays into 15th century Italy. One thing that's very notable regarding this game is the versatility of Ezio and also the sheer amount of fine detail found in the environment.

Almost every single aspect of Assassin's Creed 2 has been improved from the first one, including the potential to glide, to swim and to steal, as well as the many ways of taking down an opponent. This game is certainly one of Ubisoft's most well-liked and awaited series. And while the initial installment is already a great achievement in terms of graphics and gameplay, the second one tops it significantly.

Next there is God of War 3. Unlike Assassin's Creed, this game carries on the tale of the primary protagonist of this series: Kratos, who started out from being a mere mortal to reaching the status of a god, and then moving on to satisfy his thirst for revenge on Mount Olympus. A number of elements have also been enhanced from the original, but the same things which made the previous games so popular, such as the gory finishing moves, the painstakingly detailed characters and settings, and also the terrific production values have been maintained. However, with God of War 3, a mini-game has also been provided to extend the gameplay.

And last but not least of the top PS3 games, there's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, heralded by many as the top game for PS3 (or at the least, very near the #1 spot). This series follows the tale of Big Boss, this time around on his mission to kill Liquid Ocelot, again utilizing some elaborate equipment and trusty companions. A lot of times this game crosses the line between a fantastic movie and a fantastic video game, but manages to incorporate both into one excellent package. It wins on a lot of aspects such as the convoluted storyline (to compete with quite a few modern action flicks), the amazing graphics, and the intense stealth action. Its included online team shooter is additionally a great addition to the game.

Obviously, these are only a few of the top PS3 games for 2010. But for the coming year, you will find more titles currently being awaited, including Uncharted 3, Resistance 3 and others. All the more reason to keep your PS3 gaming console clean and prepared to play.
