PSU's Top 5 PS3 Games You Must Have Before '08

Posted on September 14th, 2007 at 13:44 EDT

This year's Fall is very, very crowded. Even with titles such as GTA 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4 slipping into 2008, the remaining months of 2007 will undoubtedly burn a whole through gamers' pockets. With that in mind, PSU's compiled a Top 5 list of titles that you absolutely must get before the year is out. Do some more chores, work overtime, demand them for Christmas or simply stop buying your girlfriend gifts (a last resort, of course).

 

5. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

Release Date: October 23, 2007
Platforms: PlayStation 3

:: Game Summary ::

Ratchet & Clank Future Tools of Destruction is a 3rd person adventure platformer where the player begins their journey with the shocking discovery that a villain from Ratchet's distant past has tracked him down and wants him dead. This revelation brings up many questions as to Ratchet origins and launches Ratchet and Clank into a mysterious adventure where they begin to learn about his past, the villain's current evil plans, and a glimpse of the future.

Why we chose this title?

The Ratchet and Clank series has always been a solid franchise with excellent gameplay and humorous characters. In R&C Future: Tools of Destruction players will be exposed to all new weapons including Death Springs (pink slinkies of death), Transmorpher grenades (transforms enemies into penguins), and the best weapon probably ever in a game...the Groovitron (forces enemies break out into 70's disco grooves.)

From our hands on experience Ratchet and Clank Future is definitely worth purchasing if you are a PS3 owner and it's a title all ages can enjoy.

 

4. Unreal Tournament 3

Release Date: November 19, 2007
Platforms: PlayStation 3 and PC (Xbox 360 sometime next year)

:: Game Summary ::

Unreal Tournament III is a sci-fi first-person shooter where people have turned to futuristic gladiator tournaments for entertainment. Equipped with a whole slew of weapons, players will be able to embark on massive online multiplayer battles or stay offline and play the extensive single player storyline.

Why we chose this title?

Both the PS3 and PC versions have been confirmed to support user created maps and mods leaving nearly unlimited gameplay for online gamers. Unreal Tournament 3 will also be running at 60 fps and will have tons of new vehicles, weapons, and game modes. We are positive this title will keep you occupied for years to come.

 
3. Uncharted: Drakes Fortune

Release Date: November 20, 2007
Platforms: PlayStation 3

:: Game Summary ::

A 400-year-old clue in the coffin of Sir Francis Drake sets a modern-day fortune hunter on a exploration for the fabled treasure of El Dorado, leading to the discovery of a forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The search turns deadly when Nathan Drake becomes stranded on the island and hunted by mercenaries. Outnumbered and outgunned, Drake and his companions must fight to survive as they begin to unravel the terrible secrets hidden on the Island.

Why we chose this title:

With a compelling storyline and great gameplay Uncharted reaches #4 on our list. Uncharted Drakes Fortune is one of those titles that only come around once in every generation of consoles. With things like wrinkle mapping facial animations, pirates (ARRRGGG!), and over 4,000 separate animations for Drake alone; players will find that Naughty Dog has brought a very impressive package with Uncharted.

 

2. Haze

Release Date: November 23, 2007
Platforms: PlayStation 3

:: Game Summary ::

Developed by Free Radical Design and published by Ubisoft, Haze is a futuristic first person shooter taking place in ... (continued on next page)

posted 2:35pm EDT - September 14th, 2007
4

Hmm... still no Folklore on the top lists...

posted 2:44pm EDT - September 14th, 2007
5

Guitar Hero is nice and all But I think Rock Band is going to be better then GH.

posted 2:55pm EDT - September 14th, 2007

dnt really think any of these games are worth buying. i would rather get PES2008 instead and wait for the real ones to be released.

posted 3:05pm EDT - September 14th, 2007

Haze, Ratchet and Clank, and UT3 are at the top of my list. Good to see PSU thinks they are worth it too.

Hmmm.  This article seems to be pushing the new release, doing marketing duty for Sony (say, you getting free copies of these games by doing this?) rather than giving a more objective release.   How can you not have Gates of Oblivion on this list? Because it may be an older title, it's still a he11uva game, and after playing it thoroughly and obviously longer than most reviewers (cf. IGN) I must say that Lair is a very good game.  Yes there are problems with controls, but get the control system down and its a great game with a lot of the elements coming together really well.

I think assasins creed should have come in before COD4 there are too many FPSs on the list !!

posted 5:57pm EDT - September 14th, 2007

COD4, Haze and GH3 are all I really want from that list.......maybe UT3. And I agree with bjaelkesex...no PES8?

posted 6:51pm EDT - September 14th, 2007

Oh so you try again Justin, at least your list is better this time (*cough* PS3 games *cough*)

 

And Haze is here also, you didn't missed it out this time huh, ^^. Oh boy I'm rude now ain't I... Can't help it.. ^^

 

I think this list is totally random.

and where is the orange box??? yeah right....half-life two by itself would make it in the top 5 but add four more games in one box??? pss its a no brainer!!! this guy is crazy. and i agree...he is leaving out some games that are older but must haves.

You know the things people keep saying about Assassin's Creed are pretty much the same issues that Lair has Yet Lair gets rapred like a dog because the media didn't speak up like they're doing with AC and AC will probably come close to game of the year regardless of how messed up is is currently...There's something wrong with that.

only problems i have with Lair is the draw distance....when your flying and the terrain keeps changing and molding just kinda sucks. warhawk on the other hand has great draw distances. what you see far away is the same up close. otherwise once you get used to the six axis it is ok....a bit repetitive in game play but ok.

Call Of Duty and NHL 08 is two definite titles for me. And then maybe I'll read some reviews on other games and see if they're any good.
