As of now I've been getting huge on RTS games (WC3, DoW2, COH, and hopefully SC2, Civ 5, and Shogun2) But for other genres -Left 4 Dead 2 -Killing Floor -Skyrim -MW3 -Dead Space 1 & 2 -Dungeon Defenders -Team Fortress 2
Not counting HD collections (like the excellent Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection), nor counting excellent games released on previous gen systems while this current gen was in effect (like Okami and God of War II), and only counting PC games released after 2005....then my top 10 this gen would be the following.
Top 10 Favorite this Gen in No Particular Order on the systems I most enjoyed them on:
- Portal / The Orange Box (PC) - Portal 2 (PC) - BioShock 2 & BioShock 2: Minerva's Den (360) - BioShock (PC & 360) - Uncharted 2 (PS3) - The Witcher 2 (PC) - Prince of Persia 2008 (360) - Heavy Rain (PC) - Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3) - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
Top 10 off the top of my head (leaving a bunch of games out) 1. Metal Gear Solid 4 2. FarCry 2 3. Heavy Rain 4. Oblivion 5. Uncharted 3 6. Assassin's Creed 2 7. Mass Effect 8. Red Dead Redemption 9. Call of Duty 4 10. Street Fighter IV
Tough choice, can't really pick one. Some favorites that spring to mind are Assassin's Creed 2, Bioshock, Oblivion, Saints Row 2, Uncharted 2, Mario Galaxy 1&2...personally we've been extremely spoiled this gen. The sheer amount of quality games that come out per year is outstanding, there is almost 1 or 2 a month I want, and then in the fall there's like 4 or 5. I love this gen.
Portal 1 & 2 Borderlands Rayman Origins LittleBigPlanet Heavy Rain Halo 3 (for multiplayer, as person above) Bioshock Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Dragon Quest IX Red Dead Redemption Deathsmiles Forza 4 Fifa 12 Assassin's Creed II Unreal Tournament 3 (Only really for online)
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Mass Effect 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Gears of War, Uncharted 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Bayonetta, Vanquish, Rayman Origins, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Batman Arkham Asylum/City, Okami, Dead Space, Fallout: New Vegas, Crysis, Dark Souls.
Call of Duty Black Ops (multiplayer) - Best pace in a COD, good balance, fine maps. Had a lot of fun. MW3 is just too fast and claustrophobic. Fallout New Vegas - This came out very glitchy, and boy did the reviewers make them regret it. It's a great game, a worthy successor to the first 2 in the series. A definite upgrade over 3.
Half-Life 2 Episode 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal 1 and 2, Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3, Bioshock, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood, Crysis, Dead Space 1 and 2, Fallout New Vegas, Frozen Synapse, Left 4 Dead 2, Mirror's Edge, Anno 2070, Total War Shogun 2, Skyrim, Super Meat Boy, Tribes Ascend. Good enough?
Mass Effect series. Gears of War series Bioshock 1 Batman AA Borderlands Civ 4 (is that this gen? it came out in 2004) Dragon Age: Origins Super Street Fighter IV Fallout 3
