What was the first current-gen game you bought?

[MercurySteam]

I got Gears of War 2 with my 360, but many years earlier I had played Gears 1 and I was dumbstuck by it.

 

[Hashime]

I guess Wii Sports, but for ones I separately purchased it would have to be Mario Party Wii. I have a PS3 and gaming computer now, so my wii sees little playtime.

 

[Seth Smith]

I've never played one!

 

[subtlefuge]

Sonic 06, which I actually kind of enjoyed. I don't have it anymore (it's one of those games that really can only be plated once). I think the next one was Gears Of War.

I was looking forward to that game, but it is the only single player game that I have ever ragequitted. If I die because of bad controls, I should not be sent back 30 minutes from where I was. Kinda wish I had stuck it through though.

Mine would probably be Twilight Princess. I didn't have a 360 at launch, but at least the game was epic.

I bought halo 3 brand new at blockbuster not even out of the case and it didn't work so I returned it and got grand theft auto 4 and it kinda sucked.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Well I got my xbox 360 the around the first Christmas it was available so I ended up getting 3 games at the same time. They were Quake 4, NFS Most Wanted, and Call of Duty 2.

 

[the protaginist]

For my 360: Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth 2. I really wanted to play an RTS(and it was my first RTS if i recall correctly), and i was able to get it for somewhere around $20.

For my PS3: inFamous. And I loved it.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

They were Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. Not bad.

 

[NinjaTigerXIII]

Batman Arkham Asylum for my PS3, sooooooo worth it

 

[pha kin su pah]

Gears of War, just upgraded my tv and got out of guild wars, so i figured i'd treat myself and bought an xbox and gears.

 

[Cerrax]

I bought Oblivion as soon as it came out which is why XBox 360 was my first current-gen console, it was the only one with Oblivion at the time.

 

[Xanadu84]

Team Fortress 2

Much merryment was had.
The trouble is, where do you define the generation boundries when you're a PC gamer? I've had FEAR and Quake 4, both of which hit this gen of consoles, but I had them some time before the PS3 was even out. TF2 was released on consoles roughly at the same time as the PC, so that's the first one I've had that was part of 'this' generation.

As a mainly PC gamer myself, in my mind, I consider Half Life 2 to be the herald of this generation of gaming, particularly for PC. Generations are most easily marked by a sudden jump in graphics, and I thought that Half Life was a humongous step forward compared to everything else at the time. Plus, it was released around the same time as the next gen consoles.

 

[Rakun Man]

Wii-Twilight Princess
Xbox-Forza 2, and The Orange Box

 

[LeonLethality]

Umm Wii Sports as it came with my Wii but LoZ Twilight Princess if you don't count that.

 

[Iwata]

I think it was Resistance for the PS3.

 

[Plastic Muscles]

Halo 3 and I was amazed by the graphics. Even though I got my xbox a year and a bit ago I hadn't seen anything that looked that good. But the game itself was fairly lacking, entertaining but nothing too special.

 

[Knight of Cydonia]

assassins creed,assassins creed, the orange box and Halo.

[small]Yes I did get 2 assassins creeds.[/small]

What? Why?

One, I bought one for myself on the birthday that got my Xbox 360.

I got one as a present as well.

 

[unoleian]

Oblivion. First game I bought alongside my 360.

 

[Treblaine]

I don't know... was Half Life 2 a "current gen" game? Actually, I played Cool of Duty 2 on PC, in 2005, was that "7th gen" since it was later released on Xbox 360? I suppose Resistance: fall of man and Motorstorm, but they were bundled with my PS3 in 2007. Really the first current gen Game I actually bought with cash money was GTA4 for PS3 then MGS4 after that.

But this gen was confusing, so many games came out on both generations, Wii confused things with it's kinda previous gen hardware. I mean Twilight Princess is considered a 7th gen game but I played the Gamecube version!

I remember my first 6th gen game: Metal Gear Solid 2... so, a pretty bad start, eh?

 

[Jonluw]

I got Oblivion the day I bought my 360. It took some persuasion skill to convince my parents to let me buy a 16+ game.

Truly one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.
