We've crunched the numbers, digested the data, and come up with four of the top PS3 games for 2012. These games are among the most anticipated titles to come out for the PlayStation 3 console, and we are as excited as any gamer out there to get our hands on them.
We couldn't really decide which of the following games should be on top of the heap, so we thought, what the heck... nobody said that all lists should be ranked, right? With that all settled, here are four of what we believe will be the top PS3 games for 2012:
Twisted Metal
A much-anticipated reboot of the popular car combat franchise, this one deserves to be on everyone's top PS3 games for 2012. The fans were disappointed when Twisted Metal's scheduled release for 2011 didn't push through, but we're done with the whining and we're just happy that it's going to be finally released (hopefully). With new characters, new weapons, and new vehicles, this game is expected to have an explosive comeback.
Final Fantasy XIII-2
This direct sequel to Final Fantasy XIII looks to fix everything that was wrong with its predecessor, which should appease a lot of gamers who were downright displeased with the first title. Final Fantasy XIII-2 is set three years after the events in FF XIII, but this time, Square promises to deliver improved RPG and exploration elements for eager fans.
Hitman: Absolution
The first two "Hitman" titles could be considered as milestones in the development of stealth-action games. The sequel was notably a delight to play, but punished those who preferred to go in with guns blazing every time instead of carrying out a tactical approach to accomplish the mission. The next two titles, however, seemed more like spin-offs instead of sequels.
We believe that this title deserves a place in our list of the top PS3 games for 2012, primarily because Hitman: Absolution is expected to bring back the franchise to its former glory. Players can look forward to improved gameplay elements (such as being able to utilize more objects as improvised weapons), and better visuals (smoother action, kill animations, and a more realistic world).
Mass Effect 3
In the first two weeks after its release, Mass Effect 2 sold over two million copies and grabbed a bunch of awards in the process. Several gaming publications gave it perfect scores in their reviews, and was considered as (arguably) the best game for 2010. So is it any wonder that the upcoming release of its sequel has generated such excitement?
The third and final chapter (we assume) in this action-RPG trilogy sets us up for the completion of Commander Shepard's saga. Everything you loved about Mass Effect 2 is here, with a refined movement and cover system, as well as instant melee kills and a 4-player multiplayer mode. Its grand reputation coupled with finely-tuned gameplay makes it a no-brainer to include ME3 as one of the top PS3 games for 2012.
