7. An Incredible Selection Of Indie Games

If you grew up in the 1990s playing games then you'll probably have spent a good deal of time on action and platform games. Whether Mario or Contra, Castlevania or Sonic the Hedgehog, 2D gaming can excel with the right genres.

The PlayStation 3 has a truckload of high quality 2D and 3D indie games. The list is mammoth with highlights including: Journey, The Unfinished Swan, Thomas Was Alone, Braid, Fez, Terraria, Hotline Miami, Limbo...no matter what kind of experience you're looking for, you'll likely find it in the PlayStation Store.

But it's not just platformers and action-adventures. There are some innovative gems in other genres like the first person shooter Tower of Guns and adventure-platform-puzzler Brothers. Or Spelunky, offering a fast-paced, modern take on the action-platformer, pushing all the nostalgia buttons for 16-bit greats like Castlevania, Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario.

With low prices and a wealth of choice, there's plenty to keep you interested in the PS3 for many months yet.
