Best Console Game This Generation

IGW_Fobia|5025d ago |Opinion piece|237|

The home console generation is about to make a jump forward. Starting at the end of this year, our current generation of consoles will be taking a back-seat to the new and improved technology and hype that comes along with the new hardware. Think about it…another slew of games that will get our blood bubbling with excitement, the news feed full of hype/hate/and joy, brand new experiences that previously were deemed impossible on the only technology. The possibilities are endless…

My personal Best Experience with a console this game this generation was Heavy Rain, but it's hard to pick just one game for GOTG as if there is such.

The best game obviously depends on personal taste but I think notable mention has to go to Mass Effect. It was a new IP and really excelled in many areas. But its impossible to pick one game. So many have been excellent for different reasons. There has been something for everyone this generation.

Funny the picture is a Killzone picture, but Killzone didn't make the list, fishing for hits obviously, and it worked given this has gone to the top of the heat list.

A better question may be best series this generation, which had the strongest showings overall, it's easier to pick entire series than just one game.

In that case, I'll continue this thread the way it should have been started.

I like the Mass Effect series, Metal Gear Solid 4, the Uncharted series, Bioshock series, Crysis series (even though it received a lot of hate from certain trolls, I still like that it's a thinking man's game on the harder difficulties), God of War 3 (and even the HD PS2 and PSP remakes which I know don't count, but hey they were still better than most of what came out this generation if you consider all the crap we've been shoveled overall, plus their metacritic ratings are high above average) and several others I can't think of right now.

Although a lot of people complain about the quality of games this gen, (me included) but when I think about it ...
Daymn, so many great games.
Mirror's Edge is still my nr 1
And then games like Bayonneta, vanquish, neir and soon MGR all by platinum games, great titles!
Mass Effect Series, just wow

I could name uncharted and such, but every body else mentioned them.
Rdr and batman series are a huge wow factor.
Infamous is probably greatest superhero game ever for me.
And then we had that game company ... Again, woooow

Pixel junk and all the related games.
Borderlands, such a great experience!
The Prince of Persia, breath taking gfx.
And wow KZ 3, so much challenge!!!
RE 5... Breath taking action.
Dead Rising
Left for dead
Alan Wake (they shocked me, great game)
Warhawk, again wow
And Then Damon Souls and dark souls.
LBP
Blur
Forza 3
I can go on for ever!
MGS PW
Mk9
So many great titles!
definitely MW CoD4
Just great generation, and we are not done yet!

Pfff, I have the two best games.

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.

Demon's Souls was so loved that Atlus are keeping the servers open indefinitely.

Dark Souls is so loved that a PC petition was made and listened to by FromSoft/NamcoBandai.

No games are touted as being more for the core audience than those games. They don't hold your hand, unlike most of this gen's games. They don't have endless cutscenes to pad out the story. The combat is engrossing and addictive.

Simply put, the Souls series takes it this gen.

Metal Gear Solid 4 or Killzone 2

They were my favourite two. Out of games which you can only buy at the PS store it is Journey. Love it love it love it.

Also Call of duty 4, because it was a milestone for FPS (although a lot have taken a few steps backwards these days).

I dont think there's one definitive GOTG.

I'd probably have to go with Demon's Souls first and then Dark Souls. I'd still rate MGS4 highly. I also had a great time with the Uncharted and Mass Effect games. Red Dead Redemption felt like a step up in terms of maturity and design for Rockstar. As for downloadable games, I absolutely loved Journey.

First of all, false pic means no click from me.

Next, there is no one game this generation and not on one console or PC because this generation had so many great games if one of these games came out last gen, even with last gen's graphics, they would be last gen's Game of the generation.

You can use Batman, Crysis, Infamous, Gears, GoW, Heavenly Sword, Bioshock, Unreal Tournament, Fallout, Dead Space, Demons'/Dark Souls, Folklore, Halo, MGS4, Uncharted, Red Faction, Mass Effect, GT5, and many, many, many more.

I don't care to even want to make that distinction in terms of a general statement, but if I was to make a PERSONAL statement, I would use a game that fundamentally played so differently that it's differences made the game enjoyable.

That being said, I would have to still give it to several games, but if I were to pick one I'd give it to Demons' Souls.

DS was so distinct in terms of it's game play and interaction that it literally was not done in many way before; the "raiding" of worlds, the assistance due to "summoning" characters, the notes, and the best part of all of them, not being able to directly communicate with them. That is so ingenious that it's still impressive.

That saddest thing for me is that I lost my game, It kinda depressed me for a minute, but I know that after MGS4 I will bet back on DS and hopefully get Dark Souls before the end of the year.

A few possible choices for me would have to be:

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the extremely large, beautiful, and immersive land in a 2006 game.

Mass Effect 2 for its excellent characters and engrossing adventure, especially the end with the suicide mission and all your hard work beng shown step by step.

Halo 3 for the hundreds of hours staying up til the ass crack of dawn with good friends in the matchmaking and map editor, and also it's enjoyable story that ended the first trilogy.

for the 360
Gears of war: Gears of war was the first visual king on the market and with the iconic chainsaw bayonette the gameplay and multiplayer was something to remember

Halo3: This was the final journey for master chief and was the main reasons to buy a 360 in the first place. Halo3 featured a ton of features which got me thinking how did bungie put all that in a single dvd space.

Forza2: No 360 fan can deny that forza2 made racing, tuning, buying, and selling one of the best assets to the game. Not even gt5 can compete interms of customization and connectivity.

For the ps3

MGS4: MGS4 single handedly erupt the world wide web being the first exclusive to receive perfect 10's from major gaming site! not only that the game itself, gameplay, cinematic, graphics, story... MGS4 is one of the only games that keep playing the single player mode in this modern warfare generation.

Killzone 2. Killzone 2 is my favourite shooter and it still sends chill down a lot of people's back. I remember when people actually thought that the gameplay was prerendered video. I remember a lot of fanboys for other systems would say things like" gears looks better", or "that game doesnt look good". Killzone 2 is still not surpassed by any Xbox games or Wii games to date. Killzone 2 is a marvel

.Killzone may look impressive visually, but you would have to be deluded to think that it even comes close to matching Halos gameplay. I'm sorry but Halo is in a completely different league in almost every area:

* Story: The Halo factions spends millions of years and is spectacular. With the premise of Halo arrays being weapons created by forerunners, the covenant with their own story. The humans being devolved several millennia ago, the flood being the final test of the Precursors, the story is just so deep and is begging for a movie translation.

* Gameplay: Halo's gameplay is unique. The ingenious design of the weapons and vehicles and the control scheme that complement them. Killzone, whilst having its own style, is clunky and uninspiring in comparison.

* Multiplayer: Halo brought proper online fps multiplayer to consoles. With its various different playlists and abundance of player created maps with Forge and coupled with the great gameplay with vehicles and gunplay, Killzone just doesn't come close to matching it.

Killzone trumps Halo with its raw visual fidelity but even in this department, Halo has such a unique,
colourful visual style that is its own.

The myriad of wannabes Halo beaters speaks volumes for the quality of the Halo games.

geddesmond5025d ago

I agree fully. Killzone is my most favorite FPS this gen. The visuals were amazing and when you got a kill in the game it felt so satisfying. Plus the death animations and the way blood splattered out was awesome and the boss fight against Radec at the end is one of my most favorite boss battles this gen alongside the Zeus and Hermes battle in GOW3. My only complaint was the game should have had a dozen more guns.

Of course you'll get nob heads like that Septic dude above posting stuff based on his opinion like its fact when all it is, is opinions. Everyone has their own styles and tastes. Plus its COD every FPS trys to beat not Halo. I almost forgot how sensitive Halo fanboys can be. If you think a games better than any other you shouldn't have to write 7 paragraphs telling people about it. Who are they trying to kid? Themself or us?

I absolutely loved Killzone 2, that and COD4 are my favorite shooters this gen, but I have to disagree with this:

"Killzone 2 is still not surpassed by any Xbox games or Wii games to date."

I think it's pretty telling that all you talk about are graphics for Killzone. When it comes to graphics, they sure are great for Killzone, but you can't get away as easily making the same comment about what matters most: gameplay. And in that regard, it's all a matter of what you enjoy in a genre anyway.

Getowned5024d ago

I never liked KZ2 maps but I think that was mostly due to spawn killing, spawn trapping was horrible, radics academy o. I also can't ignore the imput Lag, I really liked the heavy feel of the game but it was stupid how they made the hand guns as heavy as a rifle and all the guns had the same weight.The only other thing I hated was that people could take a lot of damage before dieing. I liked KZ3 more because of its better controls, but if KZ2 had none of these issues it probably would be the best fps this gen or close to it.

Septic is right though. Halo has the best MP of any FPS console game. If I voted fot best FPS this gen I'd pick Halo 3, it was extremely fun to play and just felt right. Bungie is a great dev and I really can't wait for there new multiplat game.

However for best console game my vote is for Naughty Dogs Uncharted 2 it had best story of any game this gen, Amazing graphics, fun MP, brilliant set pieces, the best voice acting in a game,great game play. The only thing it didn't have was cake :P

This gen isn't over yet, What about The Last of us ? and other games yet to be released.

@Septic -
"Killzone may look impressive visually, but you would have to be deluded to think that it even comes close to matching Halos gameplay."

You have to be deluded to think your opinion is fact. I found Halo's gameplay to be nothing special at all. The same goes for Killzone. In my opinion you guys are arguing about two games that wouldn't even make my top 20 for the generation.

My personal pick is Dark Souls, followed closely by Demon's Souls.

Third place would be tougher for me to pick but Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavy Rain, Bioshock, and Red Dead Redemption would be in the running. Uncharted 2, Borderlands, MAG, and Warhawk would ( probably ) finish out my top 10.

rmx6875024d ago

It's sad that in 2012 you still see people say Halo has "ingenious design of weapons and vehicles" yet can't say one word to back it up.

Killzone 2 was way ahead of its time and still is to this day. It has the best implementation of a class system in a shooter to date, with every class being able to turn the tide. The seamlessly changing game-types of Warzone has yet to be replicated in FPS and makes KZ the most uniquely dynamic MP shooter. The maps complement this style with so many different areas playing radically different roles depending on which gametype is coming next round.

I don't know if I would say KZ2 is the best game of this generation, but it's hands-down one of the most intense shooters and brilliantly designed multiplayer games I've ever played.

@Mainsqueeze

Well halos a 40+ mil selling franchise and KZs only a 6 mil or less selling franchise so of course more people would have that opinion of Halo. But thats not the point, to call someone deluded because of what they think is wrong. Everyone has their own opinion.

I don't like Halo, I could go on for ages about why but whats the point, I know millions of people love the game so who am I to tell them different and why should I care if they like it or debate them against it?

@Alpha I think he meant Graphics with that quote which is sort of true because Crysis 2 and Gears 3 are the only titles to really match KZ2s graphics in my eyes on the 360.

Also the gameplay in KZ2 is great, its the controls and weighty feeling that most people have the problem with. For me I adjusted and learned quick and have no problem with the controls. I do wish they made them more floaty and casual but thats only to attract more people so the game could have gotten the recognition it deserved.

@rmx687

Exactly people never mention the good things KZ2 did. You hear people talking about spawn killing and all that crap but that only happened when people didn't play their classes right. The KZ games really do have you working for the win and one or 2 enemies sneaking off to the enemies side and holding it down there could turn the tides of a match in minutes. Plus the atmosphere in the game was unreal. Also KZ2 paved the way for better looking games this gen. As soon as that game released every dev was trying for great looking games. Oh and I think the KZ games have some of the best AI I've seen so far this gen.

You play a COD game and when an enemy takes cover you just go into cover and he pops back up in the same position, In KZ the enemies go into cover and sneakily start firing at you from all different parts of their cover or from a prone position and they try to flank you a lot. Sneaky little buggers. Theres no pre lining up shots in that game. I like that shit in games

Killzone 2 for sure. Not just the graphics that actually looked better than the infamous cgi trailer that everyone said it wouldn't live up to, but the gameplay in killzone 2 was so refreshing as well.

You actually had to work at it to be good, it wasn't generic like other fps so you couldn't just pick it up and spend minimal time to get the hang of it.

Sadly, that's why most people hated it, like septic above.

People like that are the reason we have a COD every year and no change in the game industry.

The AA they had in the cgi trailer was horrid not to mention just general textures and the overall color doesn't compare to the final game. Hell even the cqb holo scope was on backwards in the cgi trailer.

There is something wrong with your eye sight if you think that game dose not look good. Your talking to a guy that has NO consoles and just dropped $3k on a pc just a few months ago (that stomps ANY game on ANY console) and I still comment on how good that game looks.

Shepherd 2145024d ago

Story and gameplay are personal preference when it comes to halo vs killzone, but I'd be baffled if anyone thought killzone offered more variety and content than halo.

Killzone was created specifically to compete with halo so that the playstation could have it's own sci fi fps. That doesnt mean kz copied, but That alone shows the impact halo has had on games.

Halos story is much deeper and more interesting in my opinion. There is a reason why Peter jackson wanted to turn halo and not any other game into a film before it fell through.

As for gameplay and weapons, there is also a reason why halo is backed far more at MLG tournaments than KZ. every weapon in halo looks and operates completely different and fills a very specific role on each map. It's not just a case of "this weapon has a bit more recoil yet more power" or "that weapon has a faster rate of fire but is a bit less accurate" with Halo.

Aside from the cool look of the helghast, nothing in killzone is as instantly recognizable as the art design in Halo. Structures, guns, etc all have a much more unique look in halo.

I could keep going for a long time as to why I prefer halo over killzone really but at the end of day it's what you like more.

Darks souls had more enemy variety, great level design with a connected open world(nevermind the other examples of great level design such as Sen castle), more of everything(weapons, magic etc) and a better healing system/bonfire system(imo)/ Dark souls was better designed imo but the online side of it as lacking compared to Demons, I also found Dark souls to have a consistent difficulty whereas in Demons I was breezing through it after a while

1. I'm gonna voice my opinion even though I mostly only play PC Games, I feel I have gone next door enough times and played on my neighbors consoles to get a feel of the best console games this Gen.

2. I'm gonna only pick games that are Exclusive to Consoles. Sorry I can't just pick one either. I gotta mention some high quality titles. Titles that I really enjoyed and that I would love to see on the PC but in a more PC type of gameplay.

So here we Go!!

1. Red Dead Redemption
2. Killzone 2
3. Uncharted 2
4. God Of War 3
5. Killzone 3

(Why no Wii games? Cause I've been playing Wii games on my PC since Day 1)

Here's why i picked them:

1. San Andreas to me is the greatest console game ever and RDR had that feel to it. Nothing else to say.

2. Guerrilla Games should be making PC Games. They are AAA+ PERIOD They shut everyone up with their great devs skills and made an epic game on console that had a slight PC feel to it.

3. Heavy Rain has a high emotional experience that is unmatched on the consoles BUT UC2 beats it out cause UC2 has so much Gameplay variations.

4. God Of War 3 this is the DEFINITION of a console game. Rapid non stop gameplay, mini bosses, Huge End level Bosses and a good story, Perfection.

5. Again I can't stress this enough I want Guerrilla Games on the PC. These guys have pushed the PS3 better than ANYONE! They friggin added physics to some volumetric smoke in KZ3! NO ONE not even Naughty Dogg or Santa Monica has done that!

Hopefully next Console Gen goes even further as Consoles become even more PC Like!

Uncharted 2+3 both had physics to volumetric smoke. Just throw a granade and run through the blast and you'll see what i mean also play the chatau level from uncharted 3. What Gurilla does is they throw their hard work in your face so you see EVERYTHING they have been hard at work on. God of war 3 didnt really have physics, but journey did have physics on volumetric sand so your claim is incorrect. In all honestly Gurilla hasnt' made the best looking ps3 game (but Id say its damn close at the moment) and if anything its a close second. Last of US as well is looking damn good.

Personally, my favorite is the Mass Effect series as a whole, I believe that it is not only one of the best games of the generation, but one of the best of all time and here is why:
If you think about it , the mass effect series is one of the most ambitious, well thought out series ever to hit our medium. There is a sheer amount of originality and depth to the universe that Bioware has created . Its a universe that is so deeply constructed , filled with rich, immersive stories and characters. It feels OLD, like it has been around forever , like StarWars and StarTrek. I APPAUD Bioware for what they have accomplished with the series , its and amazing feat for not only games but for storytelling in general.

I could write a whole thesis paper about why i think its one of the best series ever , instaed read this, its a great read!

Red Dead and Uncharted 2 I am in complete agreement with. Haven't played Gears 3 yet, but Gears and Gears 2 were nothing short of excellent. Mass Effect 2 I haven't played yet. I tried but never really cared for a lot of the Bioware games after Baldur's Gate. Too much "I want directions to the pub, not your life story every single time I ask a question." Dragon's Age made me change my mind though and I did pick up Mass Effect 2, just haven't had time to try it yet. MGS4 I remember enjoying but ultimately I found it forgettable.

My personal list also includes Demon's Souls, Killzone 2, Skyrim, Batman AA, Dragon Age, Infamous, Borderlands, Dead Space, Call of Duty 4, God of War 3, Alan Wake, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed 2 and finally Grand Theft Auto 4 was an absolute masterpiece.

COD: MW4 (the first Modern Warfare set the tone for shooters to follow)

LittleBigPlanet 2 is hands down, my favorite game of this generation. Nothing else I've played this gen can compare. I'm constantly blown away by what the community has created. LBP2 has entertained me for hundreds of hours already and I'm just getting started. Uncharted 2 is my runner up.

Honorable mentions:

Metal Gear Solid 4
Red Dead Redemption
Twisted Metal
Uncharted 3
God of War III
Heavy Rain
LittleBigPlanet
ModNation Racers
Call of Duty 4
Bioshock 1 and 2
Killzone 2 and 3
Resistance series
inFAMOUS series

I was browsing this site a while back and I found an article containing lists of the best games on the PS3, 360, Wii and PC. Red Dead Redemption was on three lists.

Rubbish, I say. I propose an alternative.

One list for PS3 exclusives: Heavy Rain, LBP, Infamous, etc.
one for 360 exclusives: Fable, Alan Wake, Forza, Gears, yada yada.
One for Wii exclusives: Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc.
One for PC exclusives: um... not really familiar with PC games.
And one for multiplats: Assassin's Creed, CoD, Crysis, Saints Row, etc.

I think that would work out best for best of the Generation.

Fun is a euphemism for simple mechanics, with rubbish graphics. Most Nintendo fanboys love to throw around that word when referring to the Wii games because they can't concede that the game is simply shovelware garbage. They act as if the best looking games for consoles like killzone 2, gow 3, uncharted 3 and such are just depressing to play and they are a chore to play.

Ravenor5024d ago

For someone who throws around the world "Fanboy" a lot you're awfully transparent.
Seriously, KZ2, GoW3 and Uncharted 3 are great games. If you think those were the best experiences you had this generation that's fine.

I had FUN playing Galaxy and NSMB, just like I had FUN playing Vanquish or Saints Row The Third. I had fun playing Kirby's Epic Yarn and I had fun playing Donkey Kong Country, the same way I enjoy Rayman Origins and LBP. They are all games, some people just like games.

Saying you have fun with games, isn't some subtle defence mechanism. People have friends and family, and sometimes a group of 6-8 people don't want to watch me play Uncharted or God of War. This is where things like the Wii, PS Move and Kinect have always shined and some of the most fun I've had has been playing those 4 player Wii "Shovelware" titles.

They're games that offer both gameplay & graphics, but a game's looks, isn't always an indicator of how well it plays (same goes for average looking games).

No game is everyone's cup of tea. Metal Gear isn't, Mario isn't, Tetris isn't. Trying to spin that as a negative for one particular game is silly.

Your logic is so flawed... I completely understand your point in saying that series often have devout fanboys that inevitably tarnish the series. But let's just say FFvs13 will be the GOTG... What then? Will you automatically state it's trash simply because it's a FF title? Also why bash FF and not GTA? It is a long standing series as well. Do you know what a hypocrite is? Furthermore this profound hate for FFVII has only been brought on in this gaming generation to be honest. All of these statements are simply opinionated. They aren't your choices so who cares. It's people like you that make me hate gaming these days.

If I had to choose one BioShock. It was extremely unique with one of the most amazing soundtracks ever produced IMO.

Hard to narrow it down to a single best console game, but I have a few that I'd list among the best.

Gears Of War-This was the first true next generation game, I was blown away by it, I was planning on waiting for the PS3 to come out, but then I saw this beauty and had to have a 360.

Uncharted 2-One of the top games of this generation, I am a big fan of colorful games, this was one that was almost perfect...almost.

Mass Effect-The first Mass Effect had everything I loved about Bioware and their style of RPG's, it was a real RPG, the next couple of Mass Effect games were good, but neither of them could tough the first one.

Batman Arkham Asylum-Most people would probably go with Arkham City, but I felt Asylum was much better. They took Batman and made him a detective, which is what he was supposed to be. Also, they didn't overdo it with every single enemy from the Batman lure like AC did.

Skyrim-Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls game and I put around 200 hours into it, I've already sunk 20+ hours into Dawnguard and haven't looked back. Its an epic masterpiece!

Mario Galaxy 2-This is one of my favorite Mario games of all time, it looks great (even on the Wii) and it plays even better than it looks.

It was dumb. Setting up a clan just to play with friends against other players is cheap, and shows negligence on their part. But best graphics of the year. Maybe. And I actually like the controls too. But they lost me as a customer with that lobby crap. Didn't buy Killzone 3 cuz of it. Better shooters in the market for sure.

Rage stands out most to me this generation - mainly because it reminded me of playing games from past generations like survival horrors and Half Life 2.
It might not have been a genre changer (and was padded out with backtracking) but that almost seems like a deliberate choice and it certainly had me on the edge of my seat in places.

Apart from that- Limbo was a great puzzle platformer.

Little big planet 2 is the best game ever created...Everyone who has spend 3 months playing / create this amazingly deep video game glory knows exactly what i mean...Its community alone has the best kind of persons that you will ever meet in a videogame...so many dedicated and passionate fans...Its an absolute epitome of creativity and sharp way of thinking...This title is everything you can imagine... For me lbp is a technological achievement in digital entertainment... If only the majority of gamers were not these kind of mindless gunfreaks this game would have been really huge... its an unexplored treasure for many of you u.s friends... So give cod a rest and try to entertain yourself through creativity and not by taking the side of the 'good' us army saving the world for 1000000th time by killing the 'bad' people in the east side of the planet!

Next-Gen for me, really arrived with Gears 1
Next-Gen really blew my mind for me with Uncharted 1
Next-Gen story telling really blew me away with Heavy Rain
Next-Gen immersion really set in to me with Bioshock

Out of the FEW positives that I really enjoyed of games this gen... I've got to say that this gen has left TONS to be desired. Games needing patches/DLC to actually enjoy the full content of games etc... we've been bent over more than being able to enjoy most of out gaming this gen. The internet influencing so much of our gaming consoles has also created an equal ammount of disservice to gamers!

Demon/Dark Souls are great games but they lack an interesting story like MGS4 does it so well.

Games with engrossing storylines and great character development is what i trully apreciate so any games from that have those standards they deserve a mention in my opinion.

As to all the people making comparisons of Halo v Killzone...seriously? Not only are the core mechanics different but the art style is as well. Halo is an arcade twitch shooter with excessive bunny hopping. Killzone is a gritty heavy shooter based on realism.

People that dislike Killzone 2 probably have never played it in its entirety. It took a long time to master its control scheme, the same cannot be said about halo. Personally I dislike Halo because it takes so much of the FPS credit, for delivering nothing but a MP experience.

Games like Wolfenstein for DOS, Doom, Quake, and games like Unreal tournament and Counter Strike have done WAY move for the FPS genre than Halo ever did.

Killzone stands on the forefront of graphics yes, but to dismiss it's story or it's multiplayer experience is just foolish. The game pioneered many game modes that are used today, and created a fresh "all in one" tactical gameplay mechanic that is still being attempted to be emulated.

Not to say Halo doesn't take skill, or didn't effect shooters. But it's on the exact opposite spectrum of killzone. Maybe if gears was a FPS you could then compare the two, but nothing really comes close to how Killzone plays.

StreetsofRage5024d ago (Edited 5024d ago )

Agree. Same genre but different games.

BTW, their is a reason behind the bunny hopping. In Halo, head shots count. So the bunny hopping, if your aim is good, will make you survive many DMR battles. In Halo Reach, 4 body shots will drop your shields and a following head shot will take you down.

Lots of times some guy would bring my shields down, but a few bunny hops and I might win that battle. That's what sets Halo apart from most FPS. It's the skill involved. Most other FPS and simple spray anywhere on the body will kill a man.

Adolph Fitler5024d ago

These are not in order of my best to worst, but all awesome games, & fact is, I'm 37 & have gamed since, well, ...forever. Now, having owned nearly every console available in my country (Australia), including a machine called a Vectrex, I have never experienced a generartion where the quantity & quality of games were so high. It is crazy how good this gen. has been (although thorroughly dissapointing that Team Ico have still failed to materialize with anything we can play), PS1 raised the bar on the ammount of high quality games could don a machine & it had A LOT of awesome tites, but,....it was also plagued with a helluva lot of turds called shovelware nowadays. PS2 also had an overwhelmingly awesome ammount of high quality games, but the stinkers still came in high numbers.
But this gen, maybe because development costs are so high, developers have had to up the quality to try get the sales, I'm not sure,.....but the ammount of AA-AAA quality games has been mindnumbingly high, & although the shovelware & crap have still been there (the highest ammount on Wii due to the cheap dev. costs & install base demograph), this generation has really been the best ever & the only reason many complain, is because they were too young & never experienced past generation & some of the dross that came out on the SNES, or MD/Genesis.

Seriously, since PS1, every gen.has just got better & better & although Nintendo took us back a gen. with the Wii which was ultimately responsible for most of this gens percentages of crap on a disk.
So PS3 & 360 owners especially have had a pretty blessed influx of gaming goodness. I just hope next gen. gives us at least the same ammount of high quality titles over the crap, or even better, it improves again & gives us gamers the best generation yet. Again, Unchartered 2 (in fact the whole trilogy), is my no.1 pick & Max Payne 3 is a close 2nd, the rest are up for grabs as to which is better than what. In fact, it is shit to have to pick favorites & top 10 or 20 lists, as so many that deserve to be there are not, & every different game gives you a different experience, so to say game A is better than game B is just ridiculous & absurd to have to do to a medium with such a large array & wide variety of experiences.
It's really subjective & unless a game is just so average or terrible, then any of the other quality games can be someones no.1 pick for best game.

1. Unchartered 2
2. Batman: Arkam Asylum (more focused & fun than sequel)
3. God Of War Collection 2
4. Gears Of War (Pt 2 & 3 weren't better than 1, just bigger & dumber).
5. Shadow Complex (1 of best downloadable games this gen)
6. Trials HD (another of the best)
7. Journey (another)
8. COD4 or WAW or BO's (all 3 are awesome)
9. God Of War 3
10. Castlevania
11. Condemned: Criminal Origins
12. MGS4
13. Zen pinball range on 360 & PS3
14. Mortal Kombat (why the hell isn't this on the list)
15. Twisted Metal
16. Starhawk (1 of greatest multiplayer games full stop)
17. Killzone 3 (Campaign is awesome, so is multiplayer)
18. Resistance 1 & 3. (Pt 2 stunk a bit)
19. Socom: Confrontation (As a PS2 Socom lover, this is as close as the PS3 got, or ever will get now Zipper's dead)
20. Dead Space 1 (2 is just not as good)
21. Siren (This game is truly the only survival horror game going this gen, even Dead Space really wasn't scary)
22. Darksiders (Truly an awesome game)
23. Max Payne 3 (Right up top under Unchartered 2)
24. Driver
25. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
26. GTA4
27. Red Dead

And this list could go on with L.A.

Picking one is insanely difficult but a stand out for me this gen has been God of War 3, simply because I am such a big fan of the previous games (and the genre in general) and just the sense of scale and how epic everything seemed whilst playing it.

Though this kind of thing will always be different no matter who you ask, I think though that it's just awesome that we've had so many awesome gaming experiences this generation with hopefully a lot more to come.

Yeh man, Witcher 2 is only on 360, & it's supposed to be really great. Look up the reviews on IGN, GT & GS. It scored very high & is like a cross between AC & Skyrim.
You could also look up some gameplay videos on youtube. I did the exact same thing a few days ago, as the game was on sale at my local EB's, so I was contemplating buying, but I already have Skyrim, AC:Brotherhood, both Dragon Age's, Demon's Souls, that I am yet to finish & I just don't need the game at this point. I mean, I only mentioned similiar titles I haven't finished & ones I could remember off the top of my head, so there will be more, then all the other genres of games. I literally have so many unfinished games, that its doing my head in when I have to think of something to play. Like I have to work sh1t out like, hang on, Darksiders 2 comes out in 2 weeks, I haven't finished Darksiders, so I've gotta play that. Frustrating......lol.

If you need a new game to play get The Witcher 2 on 360. I believe the 360 version comes with all the extra dlc that came out after it's release as well.

Ten games but need nine clicks to the list. No thank you.

Earthbound
I don't know if it's on the list and I'm not giving them 9 clicks to find out but it's one of the greatest games ever made with a story that stays with you months after the game ends so it's in my list

Maybe 3 of them are 10/10. Some (far cry) are 7/10 at best.

Sorry, this list needs a lot of work. remakes should not be a part of it, Missing original Halo is a mistake IMO. I also think Ghosts of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn warent consideration. Again it's all subject to opinion.
