Whoa, never heard about it
I never got into the online much despite that being the hook, but I had hours and hours of fun just playing against the bots. The soundtrack is full of bangers too, and I say that as someone who isnt normally into hip hop.

2.03% platinum.
116 people have 100% it.

i'm probably willing if there was a guide for that game.

It's hard to write a guide for a roguelike game like this one. And only 116 plats? That's wild. I believe I am one of those I'd assume.

Tornado Outbreak. Yes, you play as a tornado. It's like Katamari Damacy.

Katamari Forever
Beautiful Katamari (2007) was released as a 360 exclusive.

I'll also add Remember Me and Brothers - though I don't know how many other consoles they appeared on if any.

Not sure if you wanted PS3 exclusive or not but here are a few exclusive and non exclusive gems. Some were popular at the time of release but may have been lost to time since then:

Any of the PS3 HD collections (Hitman, InFamous, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Killzone Trilogy, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, Zone of the Enders Collection, etc)
Afro Samurai
Alice Madness Returns
Alpha Protocol
Blitz the League II
Blur
Drakengard 3
El Shaddai
Heavenly Sword
Killer is Dead
Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom
Motorstorm series
Resistance series

DJ Hero and DJ Hero 2

I wouldn't call this next one hidden but Eternal Sonata was one of my favorite experiences on PS3 as far as jrpg goes.
...
I normally dislike post apocalyptic settings but highly enjoyed Enslaved Odyssey to the West.
...
Oh and during that era on the PS3 board people wouldn't stop talking about Vanquish and Binary Domain being under the radar good third person shooters.

Well, if they don't have to be exclusives, these are some great games that I rarely hear spoken of:

Pain
Hyper Void
Flower
Echochrome
Red Faction Guerrilla
Call of Juarez Gunslinger
Child of Light

They might not be super obscure or anything, but there's a good chance you overlooked them even if you did hear of them.

I mentioned it in my post. I loved it. One of my favorites on PS3. So colorful. Enjoyed the large cast and the story element behind it. Found the gameplay fun. Yeah overall I really liked it. Got platinum trophy on it.
I thought ES came out before trophies were a thing?

ES was also released on the Xbox but the PS3 version was much longer with extra characters, and tougher so that is definitely the version to play. One thing to know is that it didn't have any trophies if that's something you care about. The music and art style are really great but I found the battle system took a while to get used to as it involved timing parries and counters.

I'd second Resonance of Fate if you like RPGs although ROF was later released on the PS4. It has a very distinctive art style - steam punkish and minimal colours but your 3 characters can dress up in a huge array of great modern day clothing/hairstyles eye colour etc. Great fun gun sort-of-turn based battle system.

And yeah Tokyo Jungle was tough but lots of fun.

ES doesn't have a Trophy list. i would buy it myself if they somehow brought some of the older games as PS classics and then added a list to them.

Yep my mistake. It came out on PS3 in late 08 and trophies started in early 09. I misremembered just doing everything to 100% and getting all the ultimate weapons and everything that I got the platinum. So no platinum haha, but in my mind I felt I did everything there was to do to 100% for sure.

Resonance of Fate was a neat idea but it was a real slog to actually play. Super hard/grindy and sometimes the save points are like an hour or more behind you.

That plus a story that makes NO sense and has NO payoff. I do still think it was fun though just because the characters were great. "I thought you were good in the dark" lol.

Some great interactions. I agree about the story but I adored the gameplay, and the grind. ^_^

While I wouldn't call it hidden if you are older and grew up playing Asteroids like me I think one of the best PSN games of that era was Super Stardust HD. Awesome game.

Super Stardust HD.


the game got better the more it's played and learned.

i really need to clean out my ps3 of the dust. going to get those 2 NFS rival online trophy's done then take it apart so i can clear the dust that has been accumulating for years it'll sound so much better when it's removed (just have to follow that video to get to the fan and remove only what's needed then reassemble it).

it's on my to do list in late august or early september.

Im just gonna mention my earlier recommendation of Rain again. You are only visible while running in the rain, but also visible to enemies. Out of the rain you are invisible. Its a very nice game, pretty short, but I replay it every so often.

PS3 Twisted Metal was surprisingly good, even if the single player is pretty short.

Man I am dying to play this one in English but I have no idea how other than paying a lot of money. I tried looking to emulate it but couldn't find anything.

i stand by my opinion that Puppeteer should have been the PS4 platformer and not Knack. Puppeteer was very good. It feels a lot like Yoshis Wooly World.

Tokyo Jungle is also very fun.

And 3D Dot Game heroes is a Zelda-like. The humor is very Dorkly kind of cringe stuff but it is a good game.
