Top 10 Hidden Gems for the PS3 Are there any games you feel didnt get the proper respect that they deserve. Here is my top ten list of PS3 games that not many people are talking about. #10 Singularity If you are looking for something like Bioshock this is your game. Singularity is by all means a hidden Gem. Overshadowed by the latest Call of Duty at the time this game has heart. I really enjoyed the time machine bending mechanic which allows the player to go change between the past and present and even use time as a weapon. The game is fairly linear and can be a bit repetative but it makes up for it in gameplay. This game is by no means perfect but it is a great ride. #9 Legendary Legendary is a weird game. The premise is your typical end of the shooter with werewolves and griffons. The game is like a weird mix of Halo and Van Helsing. There are tons of mythical creatures to mow down. This game wont win any awards for injinuity but it is very entertaining. #8 Naughty Bear Gold Edition This is a fun little sandbox game where the whole premice of the game is to kill the happy teddy bears as fast and as greuesome as you can. #7 Xmen Origins Wolverine This game surprised me. I did not graphic as it is. Xmen Origins is a movie game that actually turned out to be good. The gameplay is fairly Linear but you wont fnid another Wolverine Game where he is chopping off heads with helecopter blades. As a added bonus you can even play in the iconic Yellow and blue suit! #6. Stranglehold Collector's Edition Stranglehold Is a third person action shooter that has you play in the shoes of John Woo. The Game does a great job at making you feel like a total badd ass with slow motion dives and slow motion bullets #5. Puppeteer for PlayStation 3 #4 The art style in this game is amazing. Too bad it did not get the audience it deserved. As a indie Developer I love to see games that are not only fun to play but visually are amazing to look at. You plays as a puppet who weilds magical scissors to get his head back. Puppeteer is a great platformer with tons of hidden areas and places to explore. Give this game a shot its definitly worth your time. #4 The Saboteur I sank tons of hours playing through Nazi filled france attempting to Liberate it and bring color back to the world. That wasnt a play on words you literally bring color back into the world.The Nazi occupied areas are like jumping into an old black and white movie. Essentially this is Grand theft auto with Nazis. #3 Beowulf OKAy this one was kind of a stretch, but I must admit i enjoyed playing it. Essentially a God of War clone with Beowulf. The games has a morality mechanic that didnt really play out all too well but the action and cool creature design is cool to see. I feel this game had potential. If not for some clumsy platforming and being kind of a short game Beowulf deserves a try. #2 3d Dot Heroes Essentially Legend of Zelda for the Playstation with updated graphics.You can update your sword and swipe the entire screen of monsters Whats cool about this games is that you can create your own character. I have seen people recreate Link and other really cool pixel art characters like ninjas and even Crash Bandicoot. #1 Hydrophobia The number one spot has to go to Hydrophobia. Hydrophobia is a survival horror game that takes things in a different direction. Instead of zombies,Nazis or demons, Hydrophobia uses water as the main scare. Hydrophobia places you in a sinking ship with an evil corporation trying to kill you every step of the way. Honorable mentions The fight Pixeljunk Shooter. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Mark of the Ninja Enslaved: Odyssey to the West ( love this game- but I have seen many people put it on their lists I wanted to mention it but add add different games that people may not had hear of) Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning What games do you think deserve another chance?

Folklore (2007) pre-trophy era game lol, though I don't care about trophies anyway.

It's amazing, set in Ireland and based on the folklore (well duh, title says it all). Elements of Pokemon.

Ir was my 1st PS3 game and still have it in my possession today. Even 14 years later (soon to be 15) compared to PS4/PS5 it's visuals are still bloody impressive and I recommend giving it a go if you can find a copy.

Majin and the Forskaen Kingdom - A wonderful adventure title!
Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed - Overlooked by MarioKart 8 but I enjoyed it more.
FUSE - I don't get the hate on this game, a great online co-op 3rd persion shooter.
Remember Me - Sometimes the mandatory combo system was fiddly but compelling story and great art direction.
Siren Blood Curse - Tense episodic horror game
Tekken Hybrid - Often forgotten but you can play Tekken Tag 1 in HD!
Yakuza Dead Souls - Not as bad as everyone says once you get used to the controls.

@Sternhammer Heavenly Sword was one of my favorite games on the PS3. I got my PS3 in the middle of the generation (the MGS4 bundle), so that was I believe the second game I played on it (MGS4 being first naturally). I loved it back then. Not sure how it holds up today, but hopefully well.

@Sternhammer I'm not sure I'll ever have the time to replay it even though I still own it, but it's good to know that it holds up reasonably well still roughly 15 years later.

So I can really recommend the Medal of Honor game from Dice as a good game and hidden gem for PS3. I think also think the sequel, Medal of Honor Warfighter as a hidden PS3 gem.

Hm so its feels a bit unfounate that so many people will not have the chance to play games like the Darkness 1 & 2 which are so great experiences.

Beside the Medal of Honor and the Darkness games I can also recommend Max Payne 3 from Rockstar as a reailly good game to play on the PS3. A super good shooter that takes place in several intresting settings.
