 | Quote: Last week, we asked our readers to tell us what the best PS3 games on the market were. You duly obliged: We received hundreds of your opinions via email and under our original story.
Now, having taken your thoughts on board - combined with the opinions of the world's press and our own silly ideas - we've compiled our list of the best PS3 games on the market.
Batman: Arkham Asylum may have pipped it to the post at last week's BAFTAs, but it's Sony's Uncharted 2 that comes out on top in our list, with Assassin's Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2 and Demon's Souls all also hitting the Top Ten.
Check out our Top 50 list of the Best PS3 games below. Let us know your thoughts - what we got right and wrong - in the comments section below...

16. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Stunning visuals and instantly lovable characters brought new life to an old genre.
Read our Uncharted: Drake's Fortune review
17. Dante's Inferno
In most ways a God of War rip-off but exciting action, disgusting brutality and a fascinatingly detailed realisation of hell makes Dante's a great action game in its own right.
Read our Dante's Inferno review
18. Killzone 2
Probably the best looking FPS to date, with gameplay that feels solid and authentic. Every gamer now recognises those glowing orange eyes. This one's a must have.
Read our Killzone 2 review
19. Little Big Planet
A whole new way of looking at platformers and the gaming experience in general. Cute, creative and fun.

Some of the coolest abilities given to a game character, a strong story and a vast open world made Infamous one of the best games last year.

Still the footy game of choice for many, PES 2010 triggers cries of celebration and condemnation that only the real deal can match.
Read our Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 review

Five great games wrapped in one Orange Box. Pound for pound it's the most amount of quality game juice money can buy.

23. Dead Space
Impressive visuals and genuinely scary, Dead Space set a new standard in the survival horror genre.

24. Fallout 3
Fallout's epic wasteland offered a really imaginative and immersive world, even if it was baron in a lot of places.

25. Street Fighter IV
The fourth Street Fighter managed to satisfy both hardcore fans and newcomers alike by managing to revitalise the series while still maintaining a strong sense of nostalgia.

29. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
One of the greatest RPG experiences, certainly the most open-ended, had just as much impact when it finally came to PS3
Read our Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion review
30. Race Driver: GRID
Stunning looks, a real sense of speed and enough content to fill a double garage, Race Driver: GRID sets a new racing standard.
Read our Race Driver: GRID review
31. Warhawk
A rich, varied, rewarding third person shooter, Warhawk gave a lot of bang for a few bucks. A PSN favourite from the very beginning.
Read our Warhawk review
32. Assassin's Creed
In the end Assassin's Creed's lack of variety made it hard to get through, but with environments that were so detailed that everything could be climbed, its engine alone was revolutionary.
Read our Assassin's Creed review
33. Gran Turismo 5: Prologue
Probably the best graphics to feature in a game ever and the most accurate racing sim there is. Still waiting for Gran Turismo 5 (boo).
Read our Gran Turismo 5 review

35. Colin McRae: Dirt 2
Dirt 2 saw the series get back on track with weighty cars, exhilarating power sliding and gorgeous graphics.
Read our Colin McRae: Dirt 2 review
36. Mirror's Edge
An FPS with very little shooting. If nothing else Mirror's Edge did something genuinely refreshing with its bright, white, point of view parkour experience.
Read our Mirror's Edge review
37. Skate 2
Intrinsic and extensive, Skate 2 built on its predecessor ensuring that the series maintained a substantial lead over a certain Mr. Hawk.
Read our Skate 2 review
38. Motorstorm
A pretty racer with insane speed and massive crashes. Boosting made the difference, falling off a cliff was likely and addiction was a certainty.
Read our Motorstorm review
39. Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time
Familiar turf for PlayStations favourite cartoon duo, but that only guaranteed more crazy contraptions, challenging puzzles and bags of fun from this polished platformer.
Read our Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time review

Nothing new but Guitar Hero 5 brought more to the table in every area, making it the definitive music rhythm game.

43. PixelJunk Shooter
The PSN shooter is simple but immensely satisfying and therefore a download favourite amongst PlayStation gamers.
44. Rock Band 2
Does exactly what it sets out to do by making players feel like they're in a real band. Brilliantly executed.

Helped to define the next step in gaming as a launch title for the PS3, slick and solid, the first FPS of next gen gaming filled everyone with anticipation.
Read our Resistance: Fall of Man review
47. Wipeout HD
A blast from the past with a shiny new lick of HD paint all bundled up on PSN. The original tracks still don't feel old, which is testament to this great series.

48. Braid
Complex, beautiful and sophisticated, Braid is thought of by many as the best puzzler ever.
Read our Braid review
49. Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars
