best game in this console generation

[devon kruse]

in your opinion whats the best game this console generation

 

[Irridium]

Timesplitters

Yeah, I'm cheating and saying the whole series instead of one game, and they are last-gen games, but I don't care. They're a lot better than most of the stuff out now.

Timesplitters forever!

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Portal, Mass Effect 2, Modern Warfare, Fallout 3...

Those are probably my votes, off the top of my head.

Saints Row 2 is prob the most fun, but I dunno if that makes it "best."

 

[Gigaguy64]

Hard to say...

Im personally gonna haft to go with Tatsunoko VS Capcom.

One of the best games iv played in a looooong time.

 

[Infinatex]

I'm gonna go right out and say MW2. Though it pisses me of royally and sometime my controller get rage-launched across the room it is still the game I come back to week in week out for just one more round of Search and Destroy. $40 worth of add ons aside, I still feel I've got my moneys worth from it, and the 13 + days of online play time (so far) are evidence of that.

 

[Marter]

Resistance: Fall of Man. MY favorite FPS of all time, it immersed me like no other game has managed to.

 

[DeadMix]

BioShock, easily. Playing that game was unlike anything else I've ever experienced.

 

[link6616]

Handheld: Easily the best generation handhelds have ever had, psp and ds have so many good candidates...

Console/PC: Portal, Bayonetta or Sin and Punishment Star Successor

 

[Mr. Gency]

Duke Nukem: Forever. I need not explain it's awesomeness.

 

[Yostbeef]

I would have to say the first assassins creed no game really pulled me in quite like that i remembering waking up popping it in around 10 am a six pack of dew and a few burritos later i look at my watch and its 11 pm

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Modern Warfare 2 or Heavy Rain.
Both very enjoyable for very different reasons.

 

[wkrepelin]

I can't narrow it to one so I'll go with best in genre.

FPS (single player): Bioshock

FPS (coop multiplayer): Borderlands

FPS (comp multiplayer): CoD 4

TPS: Mass Effect 2

Action/Adventure: Uncharted 2

Hack n' Slash: God of War III

Platforming: Super Mario Galaxy 2

wRPG: Fallout 3

jRPG: Tales of Vesperia

Fighting: Super Street Fighter 4

Puzzle: Portal

Handheld: Dragon Quest IX

Superhero: Batman Arkham Asylum

Open World/Sandbox: Red Dead Redemption

Horror/Thriller: Dead Space

Kids/Family: LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4

Arcade: Braid

Genre Defying: Heavy Rain

I know that's a crazy list but there is really no best game and even the titles that I've listed, all of which are superb, are still highly debatable.

EDIT: I don't play RTS, sports or music games so that's why they don't appear in the list. I also don't own a PSP so that's why the best game for the DS won for handheld by default.

Legend: Duke Nukem Forever

Almost perfect. You just missed the legend category.

 

[devon kruse]

infamous. fuck you it's infamous.[/quote what are you talking about ???/

 

[Fidelias]

Oh no, get ready to put out the flames...
Anyway...

For me; Mass Effect 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST, Assassins Creed 2, and possibly Resonance of Fate, but I haven't beaten it yet. In fact, I've barely started it yet.

 

[Cody211282]

I would love to say Mass Effect 1 and 2, Fallout 3, Oblivion, or Dragon Age, but I played them all on PC. The game I had most fun with on my 360 when I had it was Halo 3.

 

[wkrepelin]

snip Legend: Duke Nukem Forever

Almost perfect. You just missed the legend category.

touche friend, touche . . . but what about Beyond Good and Evil 2? That would have to be a contender and I think we should call the category "vaporware."

 

[devon kruse]

duke nukem forever is my fav game
