Hello PS3 lovers. Here’s my top five list of new games for the PlayStation 3. These five games are definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for some new games to play on Sony’s console. All games were just released within the past month, so they’re all still fresh. Hit the jump for the list.

#5 Resistance 2

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment

Release Date: 11/4/08

Genre: Shooter

Step into the shoes of Nathan Hale as you not only take on the gruesome Chimera once again, but also the Chimera disease within your own body. Sequel to 2006’s Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2 is sure to be one hell of an adventure. Along with its single-player campaign, players can also join seven other players online for a co-op campaign with a separate storyline. And for more multiplayer mayhem, take on up to 60 players in huge online battles using the various weapons found in Resistance 2.

#4 Fallout 3

Publisher: Bethesda Softworks

Release Date: 10/28/08

Genre: RPG

It’s the year 2277, 200 years after the global nuclear war left the U.S. in ruins, but not completely destroyed. A small group of survivors are living in Vault 101, a Vault-Tec engineered safe haven in what is left of Washington D.C. – now known as the Capital Wasteland. Giant insects and super mutants live in the outside world, but the people of Vault 101 are safe — at least until your adventure starts.  After you find your father has gone missing from the vault, you are forced to leave and voyage into the unknown. Create a unique character with the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. character system, then choose how you act, which will affect the world around you. Fallout 3 is sure to be one of the greatest games of the year.

#3 SOCOM: Confrontation

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment

Release Date: 10/16/08

Genre: Shooter

With online-only multiplayer gameplay, SOCOM: Confrontation is sure to be one of the best shooters exclusive to the PlayStation 3. After the success of the SOCOM series on the PlayStation 2, Sony has finally delivered a next-gen SOCOM and it sure is sweet. With up to 32-player battles, seven detailed maps, and the ability to build your own character, Confrontation is right in the mix with the best shooters this year. Read more about it in my Socom: Confrontation Ripten review.

#2 Call of Duty: World at War

Publisher: Activision

Release Date: 11/11/08

Genre: Shooter

After the huge success of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Activision is trying again with Call of Duty: World at War, but this time they’re going back to the World War II era. Built using the same engine as COD4, World at War puts you in the middle of a war in the Pacific playing either as an American Marine or a Russian Infantryman in its single-player campaign. And for the first time ever in a Call of Duty game, World at War introduces co-op play with either two-player local split screen or up to four players online. Oh, and if you thought COD4 online multiplayer was fun, just wait until you get online with this one!

#1 LittleBigPlanet

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe

Release Date: 10/30/08

Genre: Platformer

Create the world of your imagination in LittleBigPlanet, one of the best games to come out this year, exclusively for the PlayStation 3. As you discover your character’s abilities, you can then use them to create your surroundings as you like. You can move anything you see, as well as design, build, and create whatever you can imagine. Along with an enormous single-player experience, other gamers on the PlayStation Network will shape their own plots, creating a LittleBigPlanet community that’s endlessly interactive and sure to be a ball. Multiplayer modes are both on and offline, allowing you to play with friends together or competitively. Read more in our LittleBigPlanet Ripten review.
