More On: PLAYSTATION 3
There are ten more titles getting added to the "Greatest Hits" library for Sony's PS3.  According to Sony, a title needs to surpass "an impressive sales threshold" and be generally well received in order to earn this honor.  Which games fit the bill?  I'm glad you asked! 
  • inFAMOUS 
  • God of War: Collection
  • Killzone 2
  • LittleBigPlanet
  • Resistance 2
  • Dead Space
  • Fight Night Round 4
  • Resident Evil 5
  • Soulcalibur IV
  • UFC 2009 Undisputed
Instead of being Greatest Hits, you could also call this "some games Chad needs to play since he just got a PS3."  I guess Greatest Hits sounds better, though.  These should hit retailers in the next few weeks at the $30 price point.
