The PlayStation 3 struggled with game sales its entire year, but it still managed to serve up some good games for the faithful, including a few dazzling exclusives. The nominees for Sony’s long black box include:
The Nominees
Assassin’s Creed
Ubisoft’s freeform assassination game features gorgeous artwork, inventive gameplay, and strategic combat
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Infinity Ward takes the Call of Duty to the Middle East of the modern age, with an engaging multiplayer mode as part of the package
Motorstorm
Evolution Studios’ muddy, fast-paced dirt racer with exciting multiplayer and sharp, detailed graphics
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Insomniac’s funny action series finally lands on the PlayStation 3, with Pixar-level graphics and bouncy gameplay
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
Naughty Dog’s adventurous third person shooter with lush graphics, strong music score, and fists-and-guns combat system
And the Winner Is:
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was a latecomer to the PlayStation 3 this year, and offered refreshing action, wit and style in this Indiana Jones-styled adventure in the jungle.
Runner Up: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Yes, the PlayStation 3 version was no different than the PC and Xbox 360 versions - it was a hot shooter with cinematic excitement and great multiplayer.

You do realize that the PS3 version of AC was horrendously crippled, right? How did a broken game beat out the visual-revolution of Drake’s Fortune?

Oh, I’m an idiot, and apparently can’t edit that post. My bad, I saw AC at the top and jumped to ridiculous conclusions
Jonah, really though, how can you have a PS3 game of the year when you want less than nothing to do with the system? You’ve not PLAYED it.
