1.  Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3) by Sony Computer Entertainment
The list author says:
  "Uncharted 2 is the most beautiful game on PS3, making full use of its graphical muscle. Playing is like being dropped into a brilliant action movie with an actually funny script and likeable cast."

Mass Effect 2 (PS3)
2.  Mass Effect 2 (PS3) by Electronic Arts
The list author says:
  "No game has made me want to build an actual spaceship more than this sci-fi RPG. Assemble your team of renegades, mercs and aliens, then save the galaxy. A genuine epic and a must-play."
£18.00   Used & New from: £14.40
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (96 customer reviews) | 9 customer discussions

Red Dead Redemption (PS3)
3.  Red Dead Redemption (PS3) by Take 2 Interactive
The list author says:
  "Putting a bullet through the brain of the notion that gamers aren't into cowboys, Rockstar's sweeping take on the death of the Old West is brilliant from start to finish."
£14.65   Used & New from: £9.80
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (300 customer reviews) | 72 customer discussions

LittleBigPlanet 2 (PS3)
4.  LittleBigPlanet 2 (PS3) by Sony
The list author says:
  "Somehow they've made this create-'em-up simpler to use but even more powerful. An amazing game with an entertaining story and seemingly endless online user-created content."
£23.96   Used & New from: £10.45
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (75 customer reviews) | 11 customer discussions

Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3)
5.  Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3) by Eidos Interactive
The list author says:
  "By a mile my favourite piece of PS3 wish-fulfilment. Good superhero games are rare enough, but Arkham Asylum's superb combat system lets you become Batman, and it's exactly as you dreamt it."
£19.99   Used & New from: £7.12
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (118 customer reviews) | 11 customer discussions

FIFA 11 (PS3)
6.  FIFA 11 (PS3) by Electronic Arts
The list author says:
  "These days the arrival of a new FIFA is cause for champagne corks rather than cynical sighing. This year's model adds even defter control, improved defending, and a lavishly designed Manager mode."
£18.99   Used & New from: £0.64
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (267 customer reviews) | 21 customer discussions

Portal 2 (PS3)
7.  Portal 2 (PS3) by Electronic Arts
The list author says:
  "One of the funniest, cleverest games out there. If the sharp script, ace performances, brilliant co-op and ingenious puzzles don't do it for you, you should probably swap PS3 for another hobby."
£14.99   Used & New from: £9.98
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (104 customer reviews) | 4 customer discussions

God of War 3 (PS3)
8.  God of War 3 (PS3) by Sony
The list author says:
  "Kratos signs off, as expected, in a shower of deicidal blood and worried-looking minotaurs. If it is his last game, then his legacy will be whipcrack combat and bosses the size of the moon."
£27.95   Used & New from: £8.37
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (151 customer reviews) | 18 customer discussions

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3)
9.  Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3) by Konami
The list author says:
  "An exotic action treat, full of Hideo Kojima's trademark humour, anti-war politicking and cinematic nods."
£15.02   Used & New from: £5.89
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (230 customer reviews) | 60 customer discussions

L.A. Noire (PS3)
10.  L.A. Noire (PS3) by Take 2 Interactive
The list author says:
  "Immersing you in the grimy, gritty world of '50s detective Cole Phelps, this savvy crime thriller is slick, challenging and typically brilliantly produced. Yet another Rockstar classic."
£17.00   Used & New from: £9.47
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (198 customer reviews) | 16 customer discussions

Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)
11.  Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3) by Rockstar
The list author says:
  "No parachutes, just Rockstar's twisted crime satire taken to startling new depths. Bold in its choice of lead character and remarkable in its creation of a modern city, this is a masterpiece."
£25.00   Used & New from: £6.94
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (212 customer reviews) | 167 customer discussions

Bulletstorm (PS3)
12.  Bulletstorm (PS3) by Electronic Arts
The list author says:
  "The new kid on the FPS block shoots straight to the front of the pack. With a playground of death to frolic in, it eschews realism and makes things fun again, giving the genre a rocket up the backside"
£11.99   Used & New from: £5.97
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews) | 4 customer discussions

Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)
13.  Gran Turismo 5 (PS3) by Sony
The list author says:
  "Spectacularly late, but also spectacularly over-specced and gorgeous to drive. GT5 contains enough automotive content to last you a decade, which is just as well... That's when GT6 is due."
£19.38   Used & New from: £6.96
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (428 customer reviews) | 104 customer discussions

Dead Space 2 (PS3)
14.  Dead Space 2 (PS3) by Electronic Arts
The list author says:
  "Improves on every aspect of the spacesuit-soiling original, with lavish production values, a smart script and even more fun laser surgery. 'Sorry ET, I'm going to have to amputate. Yeah, all of them.'"
£17.40   Used & New from: £9.98
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (27 customer reviews) | 8 customer discussions

Bioshock (PS3)
15.  Bioshock (PS3) by Take 2 Interactive
The list author says:
  "Mix gene-spliced powers with big guns as you investigate underwater shenanigans in what's still the smartest shooter on PS3. Features terrific art design and a zinger of a twist."
£12.93   Used & New from: £6.93
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (94 customer reviews) | 3 customer discussions

Rockband 3 (PS3)
16.  Rockband 3 (PS3) by Electronic Arts
The list author says:
  "Is it the brilliantly camp keyboard that makes this so good? The 2,400+ song DLC archive? The fact that it's as much fun to play solo as it is with a group of mates? Trick question: it's all three."
£36.70   Used & New from: £25.89

Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3)
17.  Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3) by Activision
The list author says:
  "Against expectations, Treyarch emerges from Infinity Ward's shadow with a Cold War-flavoured shooter the equal of its best. And online, thanks to the wager modes, Black Ops is arguably better."
£15.71   Used & New from: £8.99

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (PS3)
18.  Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (PS3) by Ubisoft
The list author says:
  "Being able to order around your own apprentice assassins massively freshens this second spin with dreamy knife-crime poster boy Ezio Auditore. Otherwise, it's more of the same. The lovely same."
£18.24   Used & New from: £4.05

Castlevania - Lords of Shadow (PS3)
19.  Castlevania - Lords of Shadow (PS3) by Konami
The list author says:
  "Sadly overlooked by many, this reinvention of the age-old series is a genuine classic. With an ocean-deep combat system and teasing puzzles, the range of ideas surpasses GOW III."
£21.99   Used & New from: £9.83

Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)
20.  Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) by Square Enix
The list author says:
  "Split the fans with its lack of villages and relentless linearity. But it's a looker, with the most rewarding battle system of any FF, and it actually does open up after the first 30 hours."
£17.50   Used & New from: £5.35

Killzone 3 - Move Compatible (PS3)
21.  Killzone 3 - Move Compatible (PS3) by Sony
The list author says:
  "The most serious COD contender and perhaps the true dawn of 3D gaming. Exquisite tech combines with excellent AI, strong shooting and spectacular set-pieces to beautifully brutal effect."
£16.99   Used & New from: £7.22

Super Street Fighter IV (PS3)
22.  Super Street Fighter IV (PS3) by Capcom
The list author says:
  "Capcom finally does the legacy of SF II justice with gorgeously chunky faux-3D visuals layered over the same drum-tight controls you know and love."
£11.20   Used & New from: £7.00

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (PS3)
23.  Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (PS3) by Electronic Arts
The list author says:
  "The Burnout team kicks some life back into EA's flagship racing series with a game of cops 'n' robbers played out in supercars. Its friend-baiting online Autolog system is an addictive revelation."
£15.00   Used & New from: £4.97

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PS3)
24.  The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PS3) by Ubisoft
The list author says:
  "An incredible adventure that you can create yourself as you explore a massive, open, fantasy world. Fight monsters, join guilds, or even become a vampire. A huge game full of surprises and action."

25.  SingStar (PS3) by Sony Computer Entertainment
The list author says:
  "Still my favourite party game (hey, it's hard to play a toy guitar while holding a mojito) and your gateway to the ever-expanding SingStore. Go on, download The Ship Song."
