Topic: Hidden Gems for the PS3

Anyone ever played Shadows of the Damned? Seen it on a few hidden gems lists.

Hey, good list! Those really are "hidden gems" in my mind. Appreciate to nod to Singularity. Here are a few more to consider -

Shadows of the Damned
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
Alice: Madness Returns

And heck, I dont know how hidden this one is, but it gets no love:

Silent Hill: Downpour

Well...
From my PS3 collection :

Hannah Montana The Movie
Hakuna Matata
Toro to Morimori
Racket Sports
Sports Champions 2
Modnation Racer
F1 Race Stars

Folklore (2007) pre-trophy era game lol, though I don't care about trophies anyway.

It's amazing, set in Ireland and based on the folklore (well duh, title says it all). Elements of Pokemon.

Ir was my 1st PS3 game and still have it in my possession today. Even 14 years later (soon to be 15) compared to PS4/PS5 it's visuals are still bloody impressive and I recommend giving it a go if you can find a copy.

Skylanders games
Mini Ninjas
Tintin
Carnival Island
Disney Universe

Majin and the Forskaen Kingdom - A wonderful adventure title!
Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed - Overlooked by MarioKart 8 but I enjoyed it more.
FUSE - I don't get the hate on this game, a great online co-op 3rd persion shooter.
Remember Me - Sometimes the mandatory combo system was fiddly but compelling story and great art direction.
Siren Blood Curse - Tense episodic horror game
Tekken Hybrid - Often forgotten but you can play Tekken Tag 1 in HD!
Yakuza Dead Souls - Not as bad as everyone says once you get used to the controls.

@Vivi-Gamer I think people hated FUSE because, back when it was revealed as Overstrike, it looked absolutely fantastic. Then it got rebranded as FUSE and turned into something altogether more generic, and all the hype disappeared. It's a real shame because, from what I understand, the core gameplay is pretty solid (it being an Insomniac game an' all) so why they couldn't keep the unique tone and style of that initial trailer is a freakin' mystery to me. It might've been a modern classic otherwise.

Also, hurrah for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, one of the best karting games ever made!

Games i would recommend that might be considered hidden gems

singularity

Raise your hand if you have ever played this game.

@Sternhammer Heavenly Sword was one of my favorite games on the PS3. I got my PS3 in the middle of the generation (the MGS4 bundle), so that was I believe the second game I played on it (MGS4 being first naturally). I loved it back then. Not sure how it holds up today, but hopefully well.

@Sternhammer I'm not sure I'll ever have the time to replay it even though I still own it, but it's good to know that it holds up reasonably well still roughly 15 years later.

Raise your hand if you like this game.

So I can really recommend the Medal of Honor game from Dice as a good game and hidden gem for PS3. I think also think the sequel, Medal of Honor Warfighter as a hidden PS3 gem.

Hm so its feels a bit unfounate that so many people will not have the chance to play games like the Darkness 1 & 2 which are so great experiences.

Beside the Medal of Honor and the Darkness games I can also recommend Max Payne 3 from Rockstar as a reailly good game to play on the PS3. A super good shooter that takes place in several intresting settings.
