I don't get where the "PS3 was great after a few years" shit comes from. The console has 3 decent exclusives with God Of War 3, Folklore, and Demons Souls. Outside of that it was all movie garbage like Uncharted and Last of Us, or actual unmitigated garbage like Playstation Allstars, Twisted Metal reboot, White Knight Chronicles, and Killzone.
I will defend Twisted Metal. The gameplay of that title was fantastic and it had a fun, but sadly short, story mode. It’s biggest issue was biting off more than it could chew as it was an online only download converted into a full release with an extra year of development. Jaffe fucked up in not having a traditional story mode which makes it look less content full than previous entries, opting for a cinematic approach he thought would look less cheap.
The game deserves better as besides less content than previous entries, gameplay and presentation were through the roof. The worst criticism I can really throw at the game is that it break 2006 PS3s, sometimes? My original one could play it in 2012, but a new 06 PS3 and copy and it wouldn’t work.

I would add a few more.
The Ratchet & Clank Future titles were some of the best 3D platformers of their time, which may not say much given the lack of them in the 7th gen, but even against Galaxy I feel they are more ambitious in scope. Great story and gameplay that heavily go overlooked.
Little Big Planet is a title people on here seem to scoff at thanks to the art style, but as a creator title, it was truly something special. The amount of crazy shit that people made in this game is something to behold, one of which was literally building Mario Maker into the game. It was ahead of its time in many respects being one of the pioneers of online content sharing games, at least on console as I am sure PC had some Mod heavy stuff.
Also, shout out to Mod Nation for being a creator Mario Kart-like. It may have been slain by LBP, but it has its fans.
