Your Top Games of Yester-gen!

PS3 list, probably in no particular order but meh.

NiEr
The Witch and the Hundredth Knight
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Heavy Rain
The Last of Us (maaaaaybe)

 

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
Lollipop Chainsaw
Nier
Tales of Vesperia
Catherine

My honorable mention would be 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors.

 

In no particular order

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Uncharted 2
Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
Pokemon Pearl
Dissidia: Final Fantasy

I've sunk at least 40+ hours into every single one of these games (probably even 70+ on most of them), and imo that kind of investment is what puts a game on top.

 

Wouldn't really call the seventh gen "last gen" yet as there's still games coming out for those consoles and the servers to acquire games are still up, but arright.

Don't have a list yet

So Sonic 06 is sixth? Huehuehue

 

Dragon's dogma
Dark Souls 2
Skyrim
Naruto storm series (personally the first one only because of the way the free roam was designed)
and Tales of vesperia (STILL HATE MICROSOFT FOR BUYING OUT A LIFETIME LICENSE FOR IT TO BE EXCLUSIVE TO XBOX360)

 

Cat, it's kinda funny seeing you have two different lists and the only game on both is Uncharted 2.

I swear that I already posted in the older version of this thread....anyway, this is subject to change, since I'm still playing or planning to play lots of seventh(?) generation games:

Spoiler

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
-So yeah, I have a lot of feels from this game's story, as I began playing the Metal Gear series with the first Metal Gear Solid, which is one of my favorite games of all time. I just love Solid Snake and his world of sci-fi mixed with elements of fantasy, with themes like resisting destiny, questioning one's identity, the industrialization and various effects of war, and odd dark humor. The gameplay is great to me, giving players so many different tools and methods to sneak around scenarios or shoot-em-up if they so wish, with both experiences feeling enjoyable. It even came with free online multiplayer for years! This game is, to me, the first game to represent what the Playstation 3/Xbox 360 era was capable of.


Dead Space 2
-I've played through this game at least five times, and have loved it every time. Hell, I managed to beat it on Hardcore Mode (where you only get to save at three points in the campaign.) While Dead Space 1 admittedly does a much better job at atmosphere and the feeling of loneliness, Dead Space 2 is just so damn fun, with probably the best third-person-shooter mechanics I've seen in a game (having the health bar actually implemented into the game's world as a part of Isaac's suit is such a great detail.)


Bayonetta
-This is character action gameplay perfected: the dodge system, the Witch Time, the combos, the instant switching between weapons, the enemy designs, it's all just so well done in Bayonetta. Not to mention, I just really enjoyed the story and style of fighting angelic-looking demon monsters as a female character who's neither a damsel nor a boring, emotionless badass. Bayonetta is one of my favorite characters from the seventh generation; she's just so cool!


Batman: Arkham Asylum
-The reason superhero video games are once again respected in this day and age. While I did love Batman: Arkham City, I feel that Asylum is just perfect in everything it does: the melee combat, the stealth sections, the environments, the sound design, the characterization, etc. I do have to admit that the boss fights aren't too great, but they're not terrible either.


XCOM: Enemy Unknown
-I really, really did not expect to enjoy this game as much as I have...but my 50+ hours of the game have all been in enjoyment. The strategy is down right addicting, making you weigh out every choice you make as you're put in tougher and tougher scenarios against the alien invasion.

Runners up:

• Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
• Bioshock
• Devil May Cry 4
• Dark Souls

I'm pretty sure stuff like Half-Life 2 and its episodes don't count? I'm not exactly sure to be honest, since it saw an Xbox original port.
