3.Golden Eye 007 (Wii)-I had a good connection,gold classic controller and a blast with this one! Acutally had a few panic attacks on some close matches.

4.Bioshock-Just my ideal FPS,love the story,atmoshere and Gene Perks.

I was trying to think of a list and I realized that I have not played much this gen, other than demos. I guess I will list what I have. :lol:

Resident Evil 5 Gold - I have probably put more hours into this title than any other this generation. It may not be traditional RE, but it is a solid action game and a great coop experience. Even better, nearly every mode allows split screen play offline. No innernetz? No problem.

Lost Planet 2 - Monster Hunter with guns & mechs. 4 player coop through the entire game. Lady Pirates are hot.

Wipeout HD/Fury - Though I am not having as much fun with it as I did Pulse, this is is a solid racing/combat game built on those Mario Kart fundamentals from long ago. And finally, Wipeout fans have a physics engine that tops XL.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
- If only the camera were more like Black's/Sigma's this would be THE hack n' slash. The coop mode is an interesting look into another universe where arcades are still alive and beat em' up two player modes play... like this.

Unreal Tournament III PS3 version - Mod support, mouse & keyboard support and an older play style make this a solid compromise if you do not have a PC and you want a more pure FPS experience on your console. It is a DAMN shame that this game was ignored by the masses.

Bioshock - It is something I could never experience again

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game - A good license game? I'd say it did its justice, I know some don't like it but I don't care.

Super Meat Boy - I hated it at first, but afterawhile I began to enjoy it, it was a game that rewards you for beating such a tough challenge

Rock Band series - Its awesome at parties, plus I am counting all 3 games as one

Braid - Gaming is art. That is all I can say!

Honorable Mentions:
Minecraft
Portal
Super Street Fighter IV
Mortal Kombat
Pac-Man: Championship Edition
Bionic Commando: Re-Armed

Notice that most of the choices are DL games...yeah, I don't have that much interest with most retail games

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)
In a time when I am too overwhelmed to finish most games I start, SMG2 kept my attention the whole way through. I haven't enjoyed a game this much since Mario 64.

2. Battlefield Bad Company 2 (360)
The only current-gen console FPS in a sea of FPS' that really feels solid and enjoyable.

3. Super Meat Boy (360)
No need to explain.

4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma (ps3)
This game turned me into a hack-n-slash fan... which I did not know I had in me.

5. Laura Croft & The Guardian of light.
I was a huge fan of Tomb Raider games up until the last 2 or 3. This really changed it all and stuck to what I loved about them to begin with- the puzzles.

1. Dungeon Fighter Online (PC)
This is one is far and away my favorite game, ever. It is simply the most fun and enjoyable game I have ever played. It is a 2D online beat-em-up/fighter/RPG.

2. Billy's Boot Camp (Wii)
Exercise game! In this game, you are doing taebo with Billy Blanks. There are a lot of options, and many different exercises to do, which are random to keep things from getting stale. Not only is this game a genuine great workout, but it is very fun. I love moving my body and I love this game. By the way, this is not a joke. I am serious. I got an inflamed knee tendon from playing this game, lol.

3. One Piece Unlimited Adventure/Cruise games for Wii/3DS
These games are very similar so I'm grouping them together. One Piece is my favorite anime and these games are very well made and relaxing to play.

4. Mario Kart DS
The only DS game I have really played a lot of. The netplay is tons of fun and there is a lot of skill involved, which I like. Mario Kart Wii is OK but I didn't like how they dumbed it down for unskilled gamers.

5. Pilotwings Resort (3DS)
I'm pretty much running out of games to list. I'm not a big fan of modern games so this is a hard list to make. I've played a few hours of this game so far and I'm very impressed. The 3D actually works well and it's a simple and fun game. I also like how the music reminds me of the 64 version.

Judging by your previous posts, I would never, like, ever guessed you would like a game like this.

Not exactly. If you read some of my previous posts, I've talked about how much I love Dance Dance Revolution. Billy's Boot Camp isn't as fun as DDR but it is still an enjoyable way to get exercise.

While I certainly love sitting on my ass for 15 hours and playing video games, I also love exercise and hard physical work. When I was younger, I did so many running related exercises, I actually stopped getting tired. No joke, I could literally jog or play DDR or play tennis for many hours and never get tired. I would only get hungry.

However, I have a problem with pushing myself too hard. This is gonna sound crazy, but I have overworked myself to the point of literally collapsing with exhaustion at least 30 times. I don't have the time to exercise for hours everyday like I used to, but I still act like I have infinite stamina. So what ends up happening is I hurt myself. Besides collapsing, I have permanently injured my right wrist from tennis, dislocated a bone in the back of my right hand from doing one handed push ups, had heart pain for a solid week from overexertion, and recently got an inflamed knee tendon from doing lunges.

The reason I use Rock Lee for my avatar is because I am just like him.

I have gotten a bit better about not overworking myself, thankfully. If I'm not careful, I will have a heart attack one of these days. I am staying away from all forms of leg exercise for 6 weeks so my tendon can heal.

Shape Boxing 2 is another great Wii exercise game! I beat the final boss after so much hard work and nearly threw up afterward.

Ah the title I was forced to start over in recently :P .(Still hadn't friended you btw, just my little bro.) It's definitely my favorite Online game anyway, might have even been included in a top ten list!

I'm pretty sure that's not the gen that's being talked about, I didn't read every single post, but I think this is about 7th gen. That's 8th gen, and wow, I've never been as into gaming during a generation crossing, PSV and 3DS are the start I suppose. Wii U's next, then Micro and Sony's new toys later on.


I wonder how many opinions just might change with Skyward Sword, Rayman Origins, Sly 3, Sonic Generations and Kirby's Mass Attack coming up? All the plats seem to be getting some stellar releases soon(except, PSP, don't know about that one.) It'll be interesting if a bunch of people end up revising their lists!

This reminds me of the Jump series on DS.

If I had to choose my Top 5 DS games, Jump Ultimate Stars would be one, Jump Super Stars would be two, and three through five would be blank because I rarely played any other games on the DS that weren't those two games.
