Of this Gen overall:
1) Red Dead Redemption - Not only did I finish this game, I actually did something I NEVER do with games: go Trophy hunting. I loved this games style, and characters. Completely fell in love and didn't quit until I beat it 10 ways from Tuesday. My kind of game. It felt down to earth, didn't have that "sell-out" feel alot of big titles have these days (like DA2). Not only the best old-west game ever, but one of the best action games of all time in general.
2) Heavy Rain - This game tells an amazing story (imo the best video game story-telling ever). A nice, laid back game that you can have a great time getting lost in. Delivers a connection I can't get out of most movies, yet still feels like a game. I got my eye on you Quantic Dream.
3) Fallout New Vegas - Would be first on the list if it wasn't plagued so heavily by bugs and glitches. A new patch was recently released (1.06) which addresses roughly a billion of the problems the game was plagued with. I haven't played with the new patch yet, but I've got it on the dl right now. But anyway: IMO this game has the best artisitc approach and a great, branching storyline. Fallout 3 is traditionally known to be a more smooth-running game, and that is true. But I really feel that NV out-did Fallout 3 in every other department. This game made me suffer for loving it (200+ hours and counting) but we'll see if 1.06 makes it worth truely downloading those add-ons and continuing further into the wastelands.
