The best games of this generation

Recommended Posts

Bioshock Infinite can be added alongside Bioshock. I'd even say that it's better.

1. Mass Effect 2

2. Persona 4 Golden

3. Minecraft

4. Uncharted 2

5. Skyrim

6. The Walking Dead

7. Bioshock Infinite

8. Portal

Minus Minecraft, To The Moon, Persona 4 I think you pretty much have my top 10 there as well.... I'd likely chuck in Burnout Paradise, Killzone 2/3 in there dunno about the other one. Likely one from; Sleeping Dogs, Just Cause 2, GTA V, Fallout New Vegas, Super Mario Galaxy, Amnesia.

 

Jeez actually maybe my top 10 would be different.

The last place changed quite a few times while I was writing it, changing between To The Moon, Fallout New Vegas, Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider.

Just to clarify that while I do own a PS3, i've only got about 4 games for it, and of that I've only completed Heavy Rain.

 

I'm not including handheld games in the list either.

 

10: GTA IV

9: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

8: Gears of War 2

7: Wii Sports

6: Far Cry 3

5: Mario Galaxy

4: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

3: Skyrim

2: Read Dead Redemption

1: GTA V

 

 

 

I understand that i've neglected alot of 'big games' such as Tomb Raider, Bioshock, Mass Effect etc... but to be quite honest. I haven't played them. That 10 listed are games that i've played and totally loved to bits.

Whilst there has been a lot of great stuff this past generation and games that I've really enjoyed, only the Portal games have stood out for me as something truly different and a design achievement. Minecraft would probably go on that list as well if I'd played it simply because of how wide an appeal it has due to it's lack of reliance on gaming cliches.

 

Honourable mentions for Ghost Trick, Uncharted 2 and Mario Galaxy.

Now there's a game despite numerous attempts I just flat out cannot get in to.

It's a slow starter for sure but I really enjoyed it.

Shocking that Demon's / Dark Souls and Xenoblade haven't been mentioned much. Games or the generation.

Actually amazed I haven't posted in here saying Xenoblade myself! It's definitely been my game of the generation(even though I didn't finish) but I felt sadly in some ways it was a last gen game; and had it occurred then it would have blown shit wide open.

I think Dark Souls would get a mention on any list I made for influential or important games of the generation but not my personal one. I might make that list later I guess.

Do DS games count?

 

Yeah, I think generally speaking DS-PSP-PS3-360-Wii-PC are generally considered the same generation.

Titles on Nintendo Systems:

 

Mario Galaxy

Mario Galaxy 2

Metroid Prime Trilogy

Xenoblade Chronicles

Donkey Kong Country Returns

Mario Kart Wii

Wii Sports

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Titles not on Nintendo Systems

 

Fallout 3

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Batman Arkham Asylum

 

I have highlighted Fallout 3 mainly for those who stick to Nintendo only systems. Fallout 3 is one of my top ten games of all time, it is an absolute masterpiece. For anyone who has not played it, you can pick up the special edition with all the DLC for about a fiver now in supermarkets. It is incredible, I could just spend hours walking from one side of the map to the other discovering things as I went along, I was utterly engrossed.

999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors and Virtue's Last Reward

 

What makes them my choice for 'best games this generation'?

They are truly memorable unlike any other game I've played this generation.

 

Their music, art-style, story and atmosphere are perfectly in synch.

Xenoblade, Monster Hunter 3 and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They'd be my top 3. Not sure about the order, probably as it is. I'll expand the list further later but they're the crème de la crème of the Wii.
