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.
