Top 5 Playstation 3 games for the 2009 holidays

The Playstation 3 had another stellar game line up in 2009 with excellent exclusive offerings in addition to the great multiplatform titles. Here are the top five must-have Playstation 3 games (released in 2009) that you must purchase this holiday season.

5. God of War Collection
God of War and God of War II are two of the best Playstation 2 titles. Thanks to the God of War Collection on the Playstation 3, you can experience these classics again this holiday season with enhance graphics (upscale HD resolution, anti-aliasing and 60 frames per second) in addition to trophy support. To top it all off, the compilation only retails for $39.99.

4. Batman: Arkham Asylum
Video games based on comic book superheroes are usually underwhelming. Fortunately, Rocksteady Studios took their time sculpting Batman: Arkham Asylum. As a result, it stays true to original source and is also a lot of fun to play as well. Not to mention that the Playstation 3 version of this must-have game features the Joker as an exclusive playable character.

3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 improves upon its best-selling prequel, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, in just about every war possible. While the single-player campaign is a thrill ride and the new co-operative mode is fun to play with another friend, the online multiplayer still remains the meat of the experience. The sequel expands on the addicting gameplay from the first title with more options and customizations than ever before. If you still haven’t bought it yet than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is definitely a must-have game on the Playstation 3 this holiday season.

2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
On the topic of improved sequels, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was heads and shoulders above the first title. That is saying something since Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is still one of the best games on the system. Aside from the more epic and better-paced story, the sequel also includes co-operative and competitive online multiplayer modes. Add in the fact that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is easily the best-looking Playstation 3 game to date and you have yourself one must-have title to own this holiday season.

1. Demon’s Souls
Underneath the relentless difficulty and high learning curve, Demon’s Souls is a deep and rewarding dungeon crawler that will make you lose track of time. Along with the single-player experience, the game also sports several unique online elements like co-operative and competitive play that will keep the game fresh even during repeated play-throughs. Although it may not be for everyone, you won’t find a more unique and engaging experience on the Playstation 3 in 2009 than this exclusive title. So if you are going to buy one game on the system this holiday season, make it Demon’s Souls.
