Monkey Ball meets Lemmings, in a tub of water.
It's funny how a single game can validate a whole controller. Or at least get pretty close.
The gameplay is simple. Everything happens on a single screen. You see a tub filled with water and plenty of ducklings lounging about. The player has to pick up the ducklings by hitting them with his duck and steering them towards the drain. While the tub is always shaped like a rectangle, it can have different layouts inside and lack walls in certain places (resulting in the duck falling off, if you are not careful).
PS3 Attitude: "Ah, Sixaxis. Remember that? Sony pushed this motion-sensing technology in a big way before the launch of the PS3, but then Lair came out and everyone decided it was the worst thing in the world. That said, there are some good uses of the Sixaxis out there, so let’s take some time to remember them; to be honest we initially struggled to get to five, but we got there in the end!"
This list failed to me when it didn't list Warhawk. I won't play it without sixaxis control, and it's also why I didn't buy Starhawk, they took it out. It just doesn't feel the same to me.
Cant open it, does it include Killzone 2? cuz the Sniping was an absolute blast to do with the sixaxis and also to turn the valves and such, very very great
Nice to see Super Rub a Dub on this list! Not that I own that game... of course... honestly...
@Roper316 I agree, while the other games on this list used the Sixaxis, Folklore implemented it in a way that was pure genius. I'd say that Folklore would be number 1, (if this was an ordered list) followed by Flower.
There are some PlayStation 3 exclusives that have slid under the radar, or been critically panned so badly that is boarders on the tragic.
Haven't played those JRPG's but usually like that genre, might have to check 'em out.
Folklore was awesome, as was heavenly sword and who doesn't like the sound of 'supersonic acrobatic rocket-powered battle-cars'. That game ssounds like bit of a laugh...
Folklore was amazing and it had some of the best sixaxis controls on the PS3
Yeah, they were very immersive. Proof that sixaxis can be done well and actually add to a game.
that sometimes exclusives that would have been hyped like crazy on 360 is sometimes under rated on PS3.
Same, I havn't played the first 2-3 JRPGs mentioned.
But all-in-all, I've played 6/10 of these.
And I wasn't awfully disappointed with any of them... sometimes I was pleasantly pleased. (esp. Yakuza)
Not sure if you can consider Yakuza an RPG, its mostly a brawler but yeah the series is underrated outside of Japan.
I plan on getting Atelier Totori, Ar Tonelico Qoga, and White Knight Chronicles II early next year.
Also, Enslaved was a BRILLIANT game. Ninja Theory needs to be recognized more.
For all the shit they're getting for DmC, i think consumers are too stupid to realise gave-development talent when they see it. I loved Heavenly Sword and Enslaved, and will gladly purchase ANY game Ninja Theory makes.
I wish they would make HS2 next, but not sure what the relationship between NT and Sony are like. Would be sad to see Santa Monica take NT's IP.
Agreed. DmC looks incredible. Looks like the best one since the original. Haters gonna hate, I actually LOVE the look of Dante. People either can't accept change, or they can't deal with the fact that Capcom handed it off to developers that aren't afraid to go outside the box. Capcom is getting stale; Ninja Theory isn't.
Solid list. Moe JRPGs aside.
Though I do wish they'd revisit Lair. It real main failing was being hawked for sixaxis. That and important in-games adjectives being yelled in-game among a crowd of other noises.
Here's a very good video (if we do say so ourselves) showing off what I believe to be the 10 best games on the PlayStation Store at the moment. Enjoy!

Ha. Good one. Hmm...what's that game for the psp...that popular one where you role round a blob? Tis a bit like that...and that game would work perfectly with the sixaxis as well.
It seams like a good example of a game using the controls. Not something that I want to play ALL the time. It doesn't look to captivating but, it could be fun. They're cheap too why not.
Loco Roco, I believe. You'd have to think they're bringing it over eventually.
if they bring it over to the PSP's big bro. Not sure if they should make the graphics more realistic though...
