Top 10 PS3 Party Games


10. Angry Birds Trilogy


The deceptively straightforward gameplay of Angry Birds has hooked billions of players over the years and the Angry Birds Trilogy shows us why – it’s just so much damn fun! Fling into classic, addictive gameplay with 19 episodes of puzzling fun, even better when experienced with friends – while getting a group around a phone to play the app was always a nightmare, now you can sit around a TV to work out the best methods together! 


9. Little Big Planet Karting


Taking the charming visuals from the beloved Little Big Planet series into a new genre, this wonderful kart racing title allows players to fire up their imagination to build their own tracks, customise karts and even design power-ups and weapons. The result is a wonderful and unique game that you can mould to your liking and will surely be the foundation of an exciting tournament at your next party night!


8. All-Stars Battle Royale


Featuring over 20 PlayStation characters with their own unique attacks and moves, All-Stars Battle Royale allows you to pit icons like PaRappa the Rapper, Nathan Drake and Sackboy against each other with addictive combat mechanics in a wide range of dynamic environments. The game, which feels like Sony’s answer to Super Smash Bros, is just as fun as the iconic Nintendo title thanks to the bizarre fights you can experience. God of War’s Kratos vs Ratchet & Clank, anyone?


7. Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One

When it comes to colourful fun on the PlayStation, it doesn’t get much better than Ratchet & Clank.


6. Rayman Legends


Rayman Legends is nothing short of wonderful. This charmingly beautiful old-school platformer romp is a love letter to the genre and simply oozes passion, and is certainly at its best when enjoyed with a friend in co-operative multiplayer. Deceptively simple, the game is a fun, stress-free experience and the addition of mini-games including the addictive Kung Foot makes for a fun night in. A wonderful addition to any party!
