Your game of this gen.....

[raztat]

Mirrors edge for me, it's in my top 5 of all time.

I dont see why PC shouldn't be included, I mean it's strange to pretend that the 100s of good games that came out for it do not exist.

Simple rule of thumb for grouping arcade/PCs is just put anything from say 05 (the calender year after the DS, also the year the 360 came out) to 2012 (was the first full year the 3DS was out, also the same year as Wii-U and Vita I think).

Think that would pretty much capture the 360/PS3 equivalents and what not.


As for my pick, I haven't played a lot of current gen games despite owning the homeconsoles, but Street Fighter 4 was the best game. I don't even own SF4 but I played it a ton regardless. Kinda strange that an arcade game in this day in age is better than its peers. Anyway, as a huge fighting game fan, it was basically a dream come true. SF4 made fighting games popular again and people are now playing them online, two things I would have died to have had during the PS2 era.

Highest point: Red Dead Redemption

I forgot to mention The Walking Dead game. I freakin' loved that game! It truly felt like the world and characters around you really reacted to your choices (yeah, it was more like an "illusion" of choice and change, but still...). The story telling was fantastic, I loved the design and the fact it was an Action Adventure game set in a zombie apocalypse that didn't just require you to walk around killing and shooting things. It also did the rare thing that nearly no games do with me and actually made me feel emotionally connected to the characters in the game and actually care about them.

Still looking forward to part 5 of both franchises though

Open-world = more gameplay + less monologues... hopefully

Define the start and cut off point for "this gen" please.

Isnt that self explanatory?

If it was, would I have asked?
Handhelds too? PC?

Oh I was thinking he was just talking about consoles. My bad.

I don't think I can pick just one, but I would include Super Mario Galaxy, Braid, Street Fighter IV, and Dragon Quest IX.
