List RulesGames don't have to be console exclusive, as long as they were released for PlayStation 3 at some point.

If you owned a PS3 at any time during your life, then it's safe to say there were probably a few first-person shooter games in your collection. With so many great options to choose from, there was never a shortage of games. But since some games were much better than others, we've decided to rank the best PlayStation 3 first-person shooter games of all time.

This list features the most popular and best-selling fps games that were released for PS3. While many of these shooters were console exclusive, we're allowing non-exclusives to be a part of the list as well. This poll contains fan-favorites like Borderlands 2 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Vote for your favorite shooters below.
