Every year, more games come out that shake up the list of the top 10 PS3 games of all time. This list, no matter who makes it, is entirely subjective and in this case in no particular order. Like all lists, it is based partially on the numbers and partially on what the critics are saying. Let's have a look at the current list, shall we?

L.A. Noire
L.A. Noire is one of those games that came out this year and shook up the entire industry in terms of graphics. L.A. Noire uses motion capture to not only create realistic-looking character models, but also to allow for realistic facial expressions, which is a vital component in solving the cases of the game and letting you know whether suspects are lying or telling the truth. The sandbox style of the game also effectively captures the Los Angeles of the 1940s to make a truly immersive experience.

Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 2 was finally released for the PS3 early in 2011 and it immediately took a spot on this list. This RPG features top-notch graphics and character models, a compelling storyline and characters, and manages to make an RPG with great gameplay.

Red Dead Redemption
While one could argue that L.A. Noire was Rockstar's answer to the noire genre, Red Dead Redemption was its answer to the western. RDR has it all, good graphics, a good storyline, and fun, active multiplayer gameplay. The myriad DLC that came out for the game was just the cherry on top.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
While these days it seems like any Call of Duty game will be an instant hit, you can't deny the quality of Black Ops. While the story was a tad derivative, you truly got the Vietnam War experience in true Call of Duty fashion. But what CoD is really about is the multiplayer, and you have to have been living under a rock to not have heard about how much fun it is.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
While the addition of AC: Brotherhood to this list may be a subject of contention for some, no one can deny the innovative aspects of this game when it comes to the multiplayer. Brotherhood's multiplayer is all about stealth and subterfuge, not running and gunning like most other games.

Portal 2
You may have read our previous review of Portal 2, so you know how much we loved this game. The unique gameplay and awesome humor are what put this game on the list. Add in some great co-op action and you have a truly excellent game that should be on this list for quite some time.

MLB 11: The Show
While I'm not the biggest fan of baseball video games, no one can deny that MLB 11 has broken new ground for the genre. This game truly embraces the online aspect of the game to great effect, and has some top-notch graphics to boot.

God of War 3
God of War is one of those PlayStation-exclusive titles that always brings new PS devotees into the fold, and with this entry to round out the trilogy the developers have really outdone themselves. There's plenty of gore and awesome combat and graphics to keep God of War 3 on this list.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
The Uncharted franchise continued to improve with this entry. While the first one was great, this one is even better, with intense gunfights, thrilling car chases, and fluid graphics and gameplay that keep you immersed in the game for hours at a time.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
As someone that's been playing the Metal Gear Solid franchise since the 80s, I can't help but beam with pleasure at how well the games have evolved. Each one is better than the last and this latest iteration has a great storyline, awesome visuals, and stealth gameplay like no other. Don't let the long cutscenes dissuade you; you must play this game!

What's Your Favorite?
Like I said, this list is all subjective and in no particular order. It's just something to chew on. With that out of the way, what's your favorite game from the list? Or maybe you have a game that you believe should be on the list but was not included. Let's hear what you have to say!
