Your KEEP Collection

All PS3 games that sell over half a million copies become part of Sony's Greatest Hits collection. If you were to make your own list of all the PS3 games that you believe are worth KEEPING (i.e. replaying, instead of renting it or selling it after you've finished), what titles would make that list? I've named it, for lack of any better terms, the PS3 "KEEP" Collection.

For me, these are the titles that represent what I consider to be the cream of the crop. Almost each of these games on my list stands out for one reason or another. For instance, Super Street Fighter IV has the distinction of being the #1 most critically-acclaimed fighting game of all time, and Batman: Arkham Asylum the #1 highest-rated superhero game of all time. Many consider the Mass Effect franchise to be the "Star Wars" of gaming. BioShock's premise is about as political and as philosophical as a video game can get. Also, I consider Final Fantasy XIII to be the most visually jaw-dropping game in history and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to have the most insanely elaborate and complex plot. And Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and LittleBigPlanet have the distinction of being Sony Computer Entertainment's most praised first-party titles. Nearly all of these titles easily sold enough to make it into the GH collection, andthe vast majority were also critically acclaimed:

I'm keeping all exclusive Sony games, exclusive 3rd parties, and games only on consoles (Resonance of Fate, Vanquish, L.A.Noire etc)

I've tried to make a habit of selling anything that's either not a good game, or that's also available on PC. Especially with shooters and racing games. I try to sell alot of these games before their prices drop like a rock. I've probably sold about 33% of these types, but actually I've been thinking of purging alot more very soon from my PS3 collection. (Games like GTA IV, Bad Company 2, Blur, Need for Speed: Shift, Operation Flashpiont etc) - probably a couple dozen like this. All these are surely better on PC anyway, so if I want to play them again I can on my steam account or whatever.

There are exceptions though, even though Resident Evil 5 could be played with higher settings PC, I'm definitely keeping the "Gold Edition" for the extra DLC's and the Move support.

Any games that I buy is a "KEEP" game for me because I keep all the games that I buy.chathuranga

For PS3 only I guess:

God of War III

Final Fantasy XIII

Uncharted 2

Isn't that just Metal Gear Solid 4, though? I can't even think of another worthwhile PS3-exclusive that isn't published by SCE.

Hey mate, you're not alone! I really liked FFXIII, though I do think that FFXII was better.

At the risk of going OT, I do wonder how many of the FFXIII haters disliked the game because they couldn't get past Chapter 11.

That's what you get for not GRINDING when the game WANTS you to. They purposely placed CP-efficient, weak enemies at various spots in the game that you were supposed to grind for CP. Well, those that chose not to do so obviously either underestimated the difficulty of a FF installment (which is criminal) or OVERestimated their own ability. Either way, it's just desserts (not to be harsh).

I was nice and strong, so Chapter 11 was not frustrating for me as it seems to have been for quite a few people.

Everything I have right now is a keeper.

I try to keep all of my games, even the one's I don't ever play because they're so bad... Most of them wouldn't sell for much anyway.
