The Playstation 3 remains the most expensive video game system on the market by a wide margin. For that reason, it needs many killer apps to get many prospective buyers interested. Fortunately, the Playstation 3 has more than enough exclusive titles to fit into the criteria. Here are the top five killer apps for the Playstation 3.
5. Killzone 2
Killzone 2 has been impressing onlookers for years with a multitude of trailers. It wasn’t until this year that the game was finally released. The long wait for this killer app was well worth as the game features impressive special effects in addition to some of the most realistic animations on the Playstation 3 yet.
4. Flower
The Sixaxis motion controls have been seen as nothing more than an unneeded gimmick for the Playstation 3. The Playstation Network exclusive title proved the doubters wrong by using the Sixaxis intuitively. With beautiful visuals to boot, Flower makes the ultimate killer app for the Playstation Network portion of the Playstation 3.
3. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
For Solid Snake’s final mission, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots holds nothing back. This killer app for the Playstation 3 sports some of the most detailed character models ever for a video game. It is not just all about the graphics either as Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots pushed the Playstation 3’s audio capabilities with crystal clear sound effects, top notch voice acting and a cinematic soundtrack.
2. Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
The best-looking Playstation 3 game is unquestionably Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Not only does this killer app look astonishingly detailed (especially with the impressive foliage), it also sports amazing animations and zero load times. As good as the game is looking, however, it will eventually be surpassed by Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
1. LittleBigPlanet
No other killer app defines the Playstation 3 better than LittleBigPlanet. The exclusive title does not only have some great looking and unique visuals, it also takes advantage of the hardware by utilizing realistic physics as its core gameplay element. Furthermore, LittleBigPlanet also uses the Playstation Network to distribute user-created levels worldwide. You won’t find a better killer app for the Playstation 3 than LittleBigPlanet.

Alright you wankers, calm down.
OK the cat ain't a looker, and the specs aren't doing him any favours, but who are you to use that against him? His points are a little brief but they're honest and not exactly offensive.
Lay off him.
kojima's masterpiece must be at #1 you ugly
as-hole! and Flower really ?! suck my dickk you stinky freak
i think your list is justifiable. where's resistance 2 at?
haha you guys r mean
Hey you, you look like you have Down's syndrome.
Real classy guys.
Only losers like Little Big Dammit. Lamest. Game. Ever.
wow, some of you people are sick in the head. You hide behind your computers and sling some nasty words at people. You're the types who go to high-school and get the crap kicked out of ya, and then go home log onto forums and be abusive little trolls. This kid will get laid before everyone of you little pricks.
Keep up the good fight buddy, ignore these fools on here, half of them can barely type idiot right and the other half just slings racist, inconsiderate stupidity. And if any of you played flowers you'd know it rocks. But no none of you haven't you just judge the game by its name. You're all a bunch of internet NAZI'S, seriously.
Killzone 2 as a game is weak as hell & flower can suck my ass.
Go back and play Uncharted, you'll notice that the visuals have been surpssed, MGS4 is the best PS3 game all round, graphics, sound, story, dialogue, online, add-ons.
You could easily put Heavenly Sword or R&C in this list
what wrong with you??? mgs4 should be first, second killzone2, and then little big planet, and uncharted and for last flower.
you i d i o t. and yeah you have the most ugly face in the hole world. you f u c k i n g chinese.
lol everyone's talking about his face
LOL everyone's talking about his face LMAO
2 the person who said something about down syndrome my nephew has it and if u said it to my face id kill u Great list bt cmon how did resistance 2 nt make it
Good list, possibly some other great games could have been substituted. The order, in my opinion, might be a little off, but all of those games definitely deserve to be there.
I believe killzone and killzone 2 are great games they should make another game so we can kill the helghast people and take over helghan. Instead of them taking over the earth.
Yup... I own all of these games... there's no reason why you shouldn't
You kids are horrible. SO what, he's no Brad Pitt, and neither are any of you. He is your brother and fellow man. Respesct him for the light he gives the world and the character of his person and know that all people are beautiful, not just the beautiful..Good list of APPS too man. Ignore the ignorant..
To all the illiterate, uneducated haters posting on this board - Shui Ta is writing thought-provoking columns, getting published, and putting himself out there. He's been rocking for over three years, and is already much more accomplished than most of you will ever hope to be. Keep your sick thoughts to yourself - it's people like you who constantly degrade public forums and "poison the well". I wish you better luck in life, and hope you work out whatever issues cause you all to compulsively post hateful off-topic trash on the internet. It's not funny, it's shameful.
Shui Ta, thanks for the column bro. Reading top lists like this always keeps things interesting. While some may not agree, I like that you bucked conventional wisdom and put your opinion out there. Keep up the good work and don't let any of the racist, bigoted trolls get to you. You should be proud, bro. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Wow, that is perhaps the most intelligent post I've read. Thanks for contributing to the discourse. You really know how to embrace a mindless "us versus them" mentality for absolutely no reason at all.
