Before I list my Top 10 anticipated PS3 games, I have to mention a few things. My toe has almost fully recovered (again), I start school on September 7th so a still have a couple weeks of freedom, and my soccer season starts this upcoming weekend. Alright, now here are the Top 10:

#10  Ni-Oh

Ni-Oh has you play as a bodyguard monk who is assigned to protect Buddha. 'Nuff said. Oh, you want to know about the gameplay? While no actual gameplay movies have been shown, the trailer makes it look like the gameplay will be a cross between Spartan: Total Warrior and Dynasty Warriors. You can also summon a ginormous serpent..

#9  Heavenly Sword

In Heavenly Sword, you play as a female warrior named Nariko whose country is being invaded. To save it, she uses the "Heavenly Sword" which also zaps away the life of anybody who uses it. In basic terms, she must kill all of the invaders before she dies. Alright, the premise isn't the best but the gameplay makes up for it. Many  people called Goddess of War for a reason. Long combos flow out of your controller and enemies go flying everywhere with just a few button presses. It doesn't hurt that this is also one of the best-looking next-gen games, period.

#8  The Darkness

The Darkness is a launch FPS based on the comic series of the same name. You play as Jackie Estacado, the adopted son of New York City's mafia kingpin. When your dad wants you dead, it was time to take things into your own hands. In addition to the standard FPS fare, you also have Darkness powers, such as using a long tentacle to impale enemies and making black holes. You also have a trusty pair of demon heads sticking out of your shoulders and a plethera of "henchmen" at your disposal. The henchmen are these little gremlins that each can do different things. One has a saw, one hasa a bat, one have grenades,etc. It's also worth noting that this is being made by the Chronicals of Riddick team.

#7  Bioshock

This game won the GS award for Best Game of E3 for a reason. This FPS shooter has you playing in an underwater utopia gone haywire where the residents are genetically mutilated freaks. There are also RPG elements tied into the gameplay. Bioshock also looks absolutely gorgeous, with its dark, horror themed tone.

#6  Resistance: Fall of Man

This launch FPS title is brought to you by Insomniac, the makers of the Ratchet and Clank series. In Resistance, an alien race called the chimera invaded Earth so the world banded together to defeat them. Basically, World War II never happened. You play as Nathan Hale in the 1950's and you have to command your team to destroy the chimera. The gameplay looks like 50% Half-Life and 50% Socom with a bit of the movie Starship Troopers thrown in. One thing that the Ratchet and Clank series was know for was it's assortment of crazy weapons, and Insomniac has already confirmed that Resistance will have its fair share of them. This is shaping up to be the best PS3 launch title.

I'll have the Top 5 PS3 games either tomorrow or Tuesday.
