Games that make PS3 worth owning
A list that validates PS3 as a gaming console and may possibly persuade me to buy the console.  Only games that are released will be listed.
 
UPDATE:  Well I finally did it.  I bought a PS3 and I can confirm that my assumptions with this list were true as I now own or have played and beaten (those which can be beaten) all of the games on this list.  I shall be adding more as I go.
1. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

This game alone makes the PS3 worth owning.

2. Fat Princess

Read my FEATURED Review! http://www.giantbomb.com/fat-princess/61-21184/user_reviews/?review=10075 (yes, I am proud of that, so sue me.) Fat Princess takes some of the basics that work for Team Fortress 2 and apply them to a new genre. It really works well together in one cohesive experience and is a blast online. A must-buy for all PS3 owners that do a lot of online gaming.

3. Demon's Souls

This one may be an iffy addition to a list that touts "Games that make X system worth owning," but nevertheless I feel it is appropriate. This game is brutal and not afraid to be such. The game is a lot of fun once you get your bearings though and I have found it to be one of the most rewarding games to play. Once you get used to how the game works a bit, there is a lot of fun to be had and quite a bit of depth. I highly recommend this title for hardcore gamers, but the casual should be wary. I think because it caters to the hardcore that alone is reason enough to feature it on the list as it relates to a unique demographic :)

4. inFAMOUS

An open world game that feels fresh and inspired? In 2009? Yes it is true and it is only on the PS3.

5. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

The game is a lot of fun and definitely huge fan service in it for all MGS lovers... that said, I felt completely underwhelmed by this game personally but if you own the PS3 this game is still certainly worth checking out.

6. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Original game? Check. Great graphics? Check. Interesting protagonist? Check. Tight controls? Good story? Sequel worthy? Check. Check. Check. Game is a winner. EDIT: Well this game's sequel has arrived and the sequel takes everything that was so great about Uncharted and makes it look like child's play. That isn't to say this game isn't still an amazing title, but you should certainly play it before Uncharted 2, and I do not say that just because it is the first in the series, but I say it mostly because this game's experience will pale in comparison to its critically acclaimed sequel.

7. Killzone 2

This game looks gorgeous and has a class system ala TF2 / Battlefield. The multiplayer is the real meat of this title as the singleplayer only offers cliche characters and a boring story that feels like it was put together over a night of madlibs gone awry. That said it is a lot of fun online and as far as shooters go on the PS3 it has probably the largest community.

8. LittleBigPlanet

LBP is my dream come true. I have always enjoyed games that allow me to make games/levels (StarCraft and WarCraft 3 mostly). The editor is deep, but I feel that it could have a LOT more tools added that would give it sooooooo much more functionality and open even more doors for creativity.

9. Noby Noby Boy

I guess people out there say "It's not really a game" and by the time I buy it, the meta-game may be over... but this "game" still looks too strange to pass up.

10. Trine

Although not an exclusive (it has been on the PC for 2 months longer than the PS3 and is slated to be on Xbox Live Arcade some point in the future), this game is a unique and fun side-scrolling puzzle adventure that is only on the PS3 for consoles right now. It is $20 and I find that to be a fair price. I do not feel the $30 that PC gamers were stuck with was fair but many say the game is a great deal of fun and worth it. As of writing I have not beaten it, in fact it was only released about 2 hours ago, but I have had a lot of fun with it so far and can already tell it is a real gem. P.S. Wizard cursor speed doesn't bother me enough to call it unplayable.

inFAMOUS is the big seller for me. Unfortunately it was too much for my PS3 as it killed my system :(
