Top Playstation/xbox Games of All Time
15. Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2012)
Need for Speed: Most Wanted's greatest achievement is how it sets such a firm focus on racing. Criterion set out to make an open-world arcade racer where competition is king, and succeeded.
- Platform: PS3,xbox
- Rating: PEGI 7+
14. Far Cry 3
Far Cry 3 shines in its campaign, which is more layered and compelling than any game proffering a power trip through escapist ultraviolence has any right to be.
- Platform: PS3,xbox
- Rating: PEGI 18+
13.The Walking Dead: Episode 5 - No Time Left
No Time Left provides an emotional, tear-jerking and ultimately satisfying conclusion to the year's best gaming narrative.
- Platform: PS3,xbox
- Rating: TBA
12.Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
It's taken years of craft and - likely - a hell of a lot of money, but Ni No Kuni is a wonderful, wondrous experience and will keep you captivated and enchanted for dozens of hours.
- Platform: PS3
- No. Players: One
- Rating: TBA
11.Hotline Miami
We all knew GTA 4 would be a great game and sell millions of copies, but we didn't expect it to shame pretty much every other game we've played this generation.
- Platform: PS3,xbox
- No. Players: 1-16
- Rating: BBFC 18
09.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
With the best multiplayer shooting that money can buy, an incredibly action-packed campaign and plenty of superb two-player co-op levels, this is without a doubt a real contender for game of the year.
- Platform: PS3,xbox
- Rating: BBFC 18
08.God of War III
God of War 3 is a hack 'n' slash video game developed at the very highest level and takes what I thought was possible to new heights. It sits comfortably as one of my favourite games of all time.
- Platform: PS3,xbox
- No. Players: One
- Rating: BBFC 18
07.Red Dead Redemption
So yes, the action rocks bells. But I still can’t help but feel that for me, it’s the less familiar elements that help to make Red Dead Redemption the best game of 2010 thus far.
- Platform: PS3
- Rating: BBFC 18
06.Mass Effect 2
It's been said before, but it's worth repeating: Western RPGs will never be the same again, such is the impact of BioWare's work here.
- Platform: PS3,xbox
- No. Players: One
- Rating: BBFC 15
05.Portal 2
I think you knew all along this was going to be great. Fantastic, even. All the same, I don't think you'll be prepared for it being this good.
- Platform: PS3
- Rating: PEGI 12+
04.L.A. Noire
We've had games that let us play cop before, of course, but it's hard to remember anything that's ever come this close to making us feel like we're actually doing the job.
- Platform: PS3
- No. Players: One
- Rating: BBFC 18
03.Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection
Invest in each world - in the castle and Yorda, and the Forbidden Lands and Agro - and you'll be rewarded with an experience that will stay with you for a very long time.
- Platform: PS3
- Rating: PEGI 12+
02.Batman: Arkham City
It doesn't take the world's greatest detective to spot that this is an expertly crafted adventure, one that maintains a breathtaking pace and invigorating rhythm from beginning to end.
- Platform: PS3,xbox
- Rating: BBFC 15
01.The Last of Us
The Last of Us is one of the finest game experiences of this generation. Starting a review off with such hyperbole is usually, and deservedly, prime fodder for an instant backlash, but to describe Naughty Dog's latest as anything else would be doing it a disservice. Leaving a lasting impression long after it's finished, it takes risks other games wouldn't even think about it, challenging many preconceptions the industry has just decided to take as a given. In the same way Half-Life, Halo and Grand Theft Auto continue to be remembered as important titles gone by, it would be no surprise if The Last of Us was referred to in such high regard long after we've moved onto technological pastures new.
The real success story, and where Naughty Dog has hit brand new heights, is with its narrative. While many games seek to tell a story that has genuine meaning and intrigue – and numerous have – The Last of Us' plot is simply enthralling, made even better thanks to its two lead characters: Joel and Ellie. Much has been said and conveyed about the two and the relationship they share, but nothing will prepare you for the lengths the Uncharted developer has gone to build something that feels so tangibly real.
