Top 3 best games this gen

[Tryforlive]

assassins creed 2
Fire emblem radiant dawn
Halo 3

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

In no particular order:

Mass Effect
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Batman: Arkham Asylum

 

[SuperBio]

Here are mine. Mass Effect trilogy, Skyrim and Persona 3 and 4.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

Call of Duty 4 deserves a space.

Oblivion still has a special place in my heart.

Mass Effect 3 could have had a place here, but -not to beat a dead horse- managed to bum up the ending so much that it brought down the rest of the game with it. Mass Effect 3's ending could have been a Batman villain.

So I'm gonna put Assassin's Creed 2 here. All around solid game.

Call of duty black ops

Assassins creed 2

Batman arkham asylum


Hard choice, good thread

 

[Dr.Panties]

1. Vanquish
2. Dark Souls
3. Bayonetta

 

[The Last Nomad]

Since I havn''t played all the games released this gen I really can't say for sure. There is a few games I do't have yet that could possibly be here (*cough* Skyrim) and I won't count PC exclusives as I'm not much of a PC gamer (sorry STALKER, as much as I love you)

And this list could easily change the more I think about it so I'll just knock it out without thinking too much about it.

Fallout 3
inFamous 2 (or perhaps the first infamous, it had a better story and characters and more varied factions, but less interesting city less powers, sort of a toss up between the 2)
Red Dead Redemption

EDIT:

Forgot this until I saw quoted post. How could I forget one of the greatest gaming experiences of this generation. I also thought MGS: Peace Walker was just as fun but quite different and not easy to compare.

I know that's technically 6 games altogether but I'll stick with my original 3 just to avoid thinking about it too hard.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I shall count them off in French because I'm fancy like that!

Spoiler: Un

Spoiler: Deux

Spoiler: Trois

 

[Saviordd1]

Spoiler: Yes, they all count as one

Spoiler: They're both great games and lets be honest, ones an expansion pack of the other

Spoiler: This game is always fun, despite looking very last gen

 

[Frasman]

Simple, Fun and addicting, with only a $5 price tag.

Racing at its finest.

My most played western RPG of all time.

 

[nomzy]

Dragon Age: Origins is probably my favourite game of all time. Too bad I wasn't playing back in the days of Baldurs Gate.
Mass Effect Trilogy
and... Call of Duty 4.
I would say WoW, but not sure if Vanilla/TBC counts as this gen.

 

[Razentsu]

Here's my three. And Persona 4's here because it's fantastic and nobody seems to have a problem counting it as a current generation game.

1. Oblivion (tough call between this and Skyrim)

2. Uncharrted 2 (this was seriously a brilliant game to show off this console generation)

3. Team Fortress 2 (Really the ultimate shooter right now)

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

1.Fallout 3

Skyrim is not even close. The combat sucks, the story is boring and the characters suck.

Uhhh, what?

I don't like either games, but I'm not sure how you can say those things about Skyrim but have FO3 as #1.

Same here... I found both games to be large, empty boring worlds filled with lifeless characters and horrible combat. How can you diss Skyrim and have a game that's 50% the same as your #1?

 

[GonzoGamer]

The best games this gen?
Portal
Valkyria Chronicles
Fallout 3 (but I'm thinking Borderlands 2 might unseat it)
My favorites:
Portal
Borderlands
Fallout 3

 

[viranimus]

Screw pics. Too much work.

Deus Ex
Bioshock
Souls (Dark or Demon)

 

[Thumper17]

Portal, Red Dead Redemption and Skyrim.

 

[BanicRhys]

Valkyria Chronicles
Mass Effect 2
Diablo 3

No one cares about my opinion so I'm not going to bother with pictures.
