This Generation's "It's So Good It Hurts"

I must apologize. In looking at the title, one might expect something more than a generic "favorite games of the generation so far" article but in fact, that's exactly what this is. I typically try to be a bit more original and/or thoughtful with the weekly editorial but I dunno...maybe it's the heat.

Well, at the very least, I don't have a generic title. That's something. But anyway, here are my top 5:

5. inFamous

I really ahd to think long and hard over the fifth and final spot in my lineup. It was sort of a toss-up between Sucker Punch's crazy entertaining game, Rockstar's excellent Grand Theft Auto IV (not in the mood for GTAIV haters, so keep it to yourselves, please), and Ubisoft's awesome Assassin's Creed II. The odd part is, I'd say both of the latter two are better overall games in terms of quality but in the end, I had to go with the "funnest;" the one that had this strange, semi-addictive hold on me when I was playing. I certainly didn't expect it, but it happened. It's not perfect but it's the epitome of "fun," in my humble opinion.

4. God of War III

I'm not the biggest fan of hack 'n slashers but this game is so amazing, it's impossible not to love it. As usual, we get a God of War that's so goddamn polished and refined, it's painful...but it's a blissful, "oh my God, this is incredible" sort of pain. From the epic, memorable boss battles to the nigh-on flawless combat, GoWIII is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. I really can't think of anything about this game that can even be considered "average;" the graphics, gameplay, control, presentation, relative depth...it's all just top-notch quality. It begs the question: is it truly one of the greatest franchises of all time? Gotta say yes.

3. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

It has been almost two years since I played it last but that fuzzy memory is still there. People can pick out the holes in the plot all they wish, and I freely admit it needed some professional storyline refinement but even so, it remains a step in the right direction for the industry. Kojima only does greatness. It should be his own personal motto. Upon finishing, the entire experience stayed with me for an extra long time, and that's the mark of what I like to call an "impactful" game. It's not just about the story or the cinematics or the gameplay or the graphics; it's about everything coming together in one unbelievable package.

2. Heavy Rain

Talk about memorable. I saved the best two for last and Quantic Dream's highly fulfilling project definitely gave the #1 game a run for its money. With a beautifully constructed storyline and an undeniably human appeal rarely - if ever - seen in video games, Heavy Rain has successfully branded itself on my heart. For the very first time, I really, actually, truly cared about the characters I controlled, and furthermore, tension on the screen translated to true-blue tension in me. I went through the game five times for the different results and endings, but I almost didn't want to see what happened if I let Madison get sliced up...it just felt wrong. How many games really make you feel this way?

1. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

This defines "so good it hurts" better than anything. It's the closest I've ever felt to playing an action movie; every last facet of this production just plain shines. From the Hollywood-caliber voice acting to the mind-blowing visuals to the almost perfect control and combat mechanics, Uncharted 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. It represents the pinnacle of what this industry is currently capable of and that's that. Just officially announce the third entry and I'll start getting excited immediately. I'm not even sure Naughty Dog fully grasps what they've managed to produce...

There have been a lot of great games this generation. My other favorites include Killzone 2, Assassin's Creed II, Bioshock 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Gears of War 2, Joe Danger, Flower, Lost Odyssey, Resistance 2, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Red Dead Redemption, echochrome and Wipeout HD. And of course, more great stuff to come.

I agree. I have both inFamous and GTA IV and I've gotta admit that I've had more fun playing GTA IV and with the DLC it just became more awesome. I don't know what haters hate about GTA IV (please explain!), but please don't thumb me down for expressing my opinion.

I loved GTA4 for the immersion, exploration/collection, the cars, the driving, the story. But I loved inFamous for the action (and the story). It's a simpler experience, but like Ben, I also felt it wins the edge in fun against other games in the genre that certainly were larger in scope and scale.

Uncharted 2 is like a game made in heaven

It's still one of those games you go "it's a masterpiece."

It'll be hard for Uncharted 3 to actually be as good and even harder to be better than UC2

I'd add Demon's Souls to that list, an experience you won't get in any game thus far.

Very good list, I'd have to stick Demon's Souls in there somewhere but I was glad you stuck Mirrors Edge into the honorable mentions at the end.
In my top five, based on games I get the urge to go back and play over again and again, it'd have to be (in no particular order):

Mirrors Edge
Uncharted 2
Dead Space
Demon's Souls
Killzone 2

Honorable mentions to Dragons Age Origin, Fallout 3, Resistance 1+2, Red Dead Redemption, Battlefield:BC1+2, Resonance of Fate, Nier, Yakuza 3, Infamous and I'm sure there's plenty more I'm forgetting right now.

My top 10 this generation

2)Demons Souls
3)Grand Theft Auto 4 (including episodes)
4)Uncharted 2
5)MGS4
6)Batman Arkylm Asylum
7)Bioshock
8)God of War III
9)Killzone 2
10)Red Dead Redemption or Uncharted or Dead Space

Ben, how can you forget about Demons Souls and you guys gave Fallout 3 a 9.6 and you didn't even mention that game. I do like your choices, but too me...Heavy Rain had its fair share of poor voice acting (those damn kids) and God of War III storytelling (not story) was kind of a dissapointment, everything else was top notch. Infamous was a good game, nothing I would lose sleep over. This is just my two cents, not knocking your choices as they all deserve a spot.

What was so great about Batman arkham asylum? I just finished that game and I'm sorry but most of the game is just backtracking to get riddler ?'s that you couldn't get until you got the equipment for it.

Is batman that stupid, "Hey I'm in the batcave, I could get everything I need now, but no, let's come back 4 different times because apparently all these bags on my waist are for show."

There was very little in the way of poor voice acting in Heavy Rain; in fact, it's the second best set of voice acting in the generation behind Uncharted 2. That much is plain.

I was not the biggest fan of Demon's Souls because I found it to be unbalanced. Not too hard; merely unbalanced. I mentioned it in my review. And I didn't review Fallout 3; it's really not my type of game.

Eeeeh, i thought the voice acting in MGS4 was better then Heavy Rain. They sounded out of place sometimes. You can hear them slip up and expose their French accent.

I'd say Uncharted holds the crown for best voice acting with MGS4 in a close second.

@Ben...oh my bad, I thought you reviewed that game. Well I already knew you didn't care for Demons Souls, but honestly, I felt Heavy Rains dialogue was either cliche or too simple and the voice acting during certain scenes could have been better, but I definitely enjoyed the game for what it was. Same goes for MGS4 cheesy dialogue and over the top dramatics, but that game will always be a classic to me. As far a unbalanced dificulty, I got to agree.

Heavenly Sword did indeed have awesome voice acting. It deserves attention.

One thing about Heavy Rain that has gotten blown out of proportion, and that's this supposed "problem" with French accents. It doesn't really make any sense to say, as there is really only ONE character in the entire game who is actually French and actually tries to hide the accent, and that's Ethan. Sam Douglas (Scott) is clearly American, Leon Ockenden (Norman) is English, and the woman for Madison (forget who it is; I only know Jacqui Ainsley did the modeling) is also American. The only French actress is Auriele Bancilhon, who is SUPPOSED to be French in the story; there's no effort to hide the accent. And if you think she sucks, you should watch the extra acting scene provided in the Bonuses.

Considering the fact that most of the game is dialogue, and considering that only rarely do we hear less-than-impressive lines, it's a triumph. People don't quite realize just how MUCH voice acting is required in comparison to any other game in existence, and when most of it is top-notch, that's a win in my book.

So Ben, you actually didn't get annoyed by every childs voice in this game. These kids voices were horrible and didn't feel authentic...while I was playing HR my brother kept pointing out how bad their voices sounded. I thought everyone played their part well enough (Madison and Ethan were the best), but the FBI agent and Shelby sounded out of place a few times. This has nothing to do with the voices, but my Dad was over my house and he didn't even know I was playing a game until he figured out the buttons on the screen had something to do with the control in my hand...lmao...anyway no game has perfect voice acting or dialogue, but Uncharted 1/2, Bioshock 1/2, MGS1-4, Rockstar creations (GTA, RDR), Fallout 3, Heavy Rain and a few others come the closest in my book.

Yeah I know it's hard to believe, by way of explanation all I can say is I got my PS3 to play all the great RPGs, and when they didn't come it took me some time to get back into all the other genres. I had been playing only RPGs since late PS2 days. My tastes always fluxed, then before I knew it there were tons of games, I was back to being "hardcore" and MGS4 just had to wait.

Out of your top 5 Ben, GoW 3 is the only one I've yet to play simply because I want to experience the first two in the series. I picked up the GoW Collection recently for $15 new with a $15 off coupon at Kmart, I've just got a serious back log of games to play and some I'm trying to inch out a platinum on. Aside from that I can definitely agree with your list. Fallout 3 was another that I'd have to throw into my top ten. Oh I'd have to have LBP in my top 5 though and maybe knock MGS4 to #6 :P

However rather than experiencing them first hand he's hung up on MW2 online. I don't get it.

It's so incredibly hard to pick a top 5 games, so many genre's, some are more fun even tho they aren't technically as great as others. Tough, but I'd put mine like this.

1.MGS4
2.Demon's Souls
3.Heavy Rain
4.White Knight Chronicles
5.Infamous

Honestly I'd have been happy with my ps3 purchase if those were the only games I had, I have played each of them at least 3 times and look forward to playing each of them again.

Only reason I chose that particular order is because obviously MGS4, Heavy Rain, and Demon's souls, just have some kind of amazing quality to them, nothing else can compare, even if they aren't in your favorite genre, the quality is unmistakable.

@ myworstnightmare

It will probably be a while before WKC2 gets here, and the first one is totally worth it, if I didn't have it, I'd have no qualms picking it up even tho it will come with the second one. However you must realize I love this game so much it made my top 5 list.

Man, I don't know if I could even create a top 5. It's hard, really really hard for me to even try. This generation has presented so many amazing games I still can't believe it, let alone play them all. Though, with the exception of Heavy Rain, I've managed to play through each of Ben's top picks.

Other great games I've enjoyed consolidated to this year (and alphabetical) include:

Bayonetta: Nothing short of a thrill ride top to bottom, side to side, and through the middle. So bizzare yet so very entertaining. Platinum Games you're on my rising star list.

Darksiders: By an unlikely set of circumstances did I get to play this one. While it isn't exactly pretty on the outside, it really is a solid adventure and has a surprisingly robust combat system. A real keeper. I look forward to future installments. (And hey, it's a multi-plat that edges out it's 360 partner, too)

Dead or Alive 4: Several years old and it still offers me a lot of great online matches. It also has ninjas, lots of ninjas.

Forza 3: I've really missed GT racing. While the king of the genre by Polyphony prepares to deliver it's knockout punch I've managed to get a real good GT racing itch scratched with Forza. I now have respect for Turn 10. An awesome assortment of varied tracks, gorgeous cars, interesting and time saving options like "rewind" and a very fluid feel, Forza 3 has milked many hours from me.

God of War 3: Oh man, oh man! falls over from desk thinking about it.... see Ben's description of the game because I can't without foaming from the mouth. Except Hera, she was crappy, and also that big one-eyed ugly dude's hair in the cave.

Ratchet Crack in Time: Great game. Thoroughly polished and the worst part was that it had to end what seemed like too soon. Maybe it was just too good.

Tekken 6: Always been a hardcore Tekken gamer at heart, but T6 left me neither overwhelmed or underwhelmed... just whelmed..
I still experience some of the best gaming moments online with this title. And thank you Namco for resolving a lot of the lag issues. Next time though, please put that bandwidth sapping motion-blur processing onto SPU's so we don't have to tolerate sub-HD res.

ANd for those who've followed along this far..

I'm currently working on Mass Effect. Bioware's stuff has traditionally warded me away with their trademark brand of lengthy conversational inquiring (it's the twitch-gamer in me), but Mass Effect is truly something special. A unique and engaging saga. Sleek and attractive art design. An Unreal engine powered game that doesn't look like one, and a top-notch presentation. Combat action is rough. It's combat alone wouldn't pass for a "good game" by todays standards. Be warned, but none-the-less, any self-respecting gamer owes it to themselves to give a shot.

FF8: Slowly, but surely Squall has just carried Riona across Fisherman's bridge thing.

Most disappointing. Well when I got Forza 3 it came with ODST.
ODST was a yawn-a-thon last year and it's still a yawn-a-thon this year, with extra helpings of "what were they thinking?"
I like Halo. I do, and Reach shows real promise, but MS will send the series straight down the tubes if they prioritize making a buck over making a great game.

Ya wanna know what's sad, when I thought about that short list (not long but still) FFXIII didn't even jump into my head. I guess I can't even think of it as an RPG no matter how it was classified.

I'm not as big of a FF fan as most around here. So when I can pick it up and say eh' it didnt reach my expectations as to where I stand with the franchise, thats bad news.

I really wanted a FF I couldn't put down, I thought we were getting it. Again I'm not the biggest FF fan, but the series is great, its too bad I couldn't experience something to put it over the top. I just couldn't get into it.

I haven't played star ocean (any of them yet), so it wouldn't be on my list of top 5 rpgs. So here's mine.

1. Demon's souls
2. WKC
3. fallout 3
4. Dragon age
5. Valkyria chronicles

When it comes to oblivion I was a little disappointed by the main story, it seemed like a sidequest as far as the length of it. If you just play the main quest you can beat it under 8 hours easily, thats kinda sad.

I know oblivion isn't really meant to be played that way, but it was just a disappointing story for me, some of the sidequests that were added later were actually more interesting and longer than the main story.

I liked the game a lot, but I just couldn't enjoy it as much as others, especially with the vampire glitch on the goty edition.

The vampire glitch did suck. But the main story for me was actually compelling. Maybe it is short but the time you spend in the game regardless makes up for that. Ive got over 200 hours with two different characters in that game. Again the story may have been short, but it had its depth too it, and worked very well with the sidequests. Awesome game in my book!

Yeah for the life of me I can't figure why Bethesda couldn't make a tiny patch to fix that glitch (which plagued me for a long time). For me, games like Oblivion and Fallout 3 are never about the main quest (which is always weak) but the exploration of a huge world full of interesting stuff and quests and atmosphere. Still I hope that the world in the next Elder Scrolls is a little more alive.

I know exactly why they couldn't make the patch to fix it. I emailed them and called them repeatedly and when I finally got a response this is what they said,

"We know about the glitch, but there are no plans for any update, for any version of oblivion. The game can be successfully completed without finishing this particular quest. "

Exact quote.

Well to that I would like to tell bethesda, screw you too, thanks for supporting your customers.

Ben,
Well, I've only played two of those so far,

I'm playing inFamous right now & loving it.
And I'm zonkers about getting those chards, they're so friggiing crack-adling to me.

I also played MGS4 & I was loving it.
Well, that was up until my fight with Vamp. Seem I'm stuck & can't defeat the punk.
I don't know how many times I've gotten his sorry a$$ down, & then tried to needle him in the allotted time, but for some reason it never, ever, even shows a needle in my hand.

I've even gone backward & redid chapter 3 and all of 4 all the way back to the fight itself, just to see if somehow I missed having to find &/or collect hidden needles anywhere, but no such luck.
Damned if I know how to vanquish goth-boy.
This is frustrating me cause I NEED to see & savor how the game even ends & I've been itching to complete it.

Anyways, I'll have to take your word on the other 3 cause I haven't had the chance to play them yet, but I know they'll be great too.

As for my own tastes, there's two other games I loved above ALL others that I've ever played, & I've spent close to 200 total hours on(so far).
So for myself, both of them, are definitely worthy at the very least, of my honorable mention......

The needle icon appears if you have the Syringe equipped in your Item window, and when you're CQC holding Vamp. You can CQC hold him only when you've depleted his HP or Psyche gauge completely. When you do that, get ready for the epic scene that follows.

A top five list? I just can't do it... I can't find it in me to disclude some, or even begin to order them... I'll do my best.

5) Valkyria Chronicles: It's probably only here because it is my current poison, but everything about it is just brilliant. So easy and intuitive, so hard and frustrating, but always satisfying. (Review incoming when I get it finished)

4) LittleBigPlanet: Never have I played a game that is so much fun. Honestly, smiles all around, and the creation suite, although a right pain in the backside a lot of the time was brilliant.

3) Infamous: Again, just unbelievably fun. And the story was well done, particularly the ending. I need to go back and re-platinum it.

2) MGS4: I'm itching to get back to this piece of brilliance. First though I must get a copy of the original. I've got 2 and 3, and Peace Walker will be incoming next month. This fourth game though had everything that I had hoped and didn't let me down at all.

1) Uncharted 2: What else could it be? Simply the best game that I have played to date. From the beautiful graphics and the near flawless gameplay mechanics to the paced-out story and characters a real ride from start to finish. My only desire for the third would be a mall tupe environment with a bunch of NPCs and enemies, and you have to escape to the roof to catch a helicopter.

Honourable mentions include GoW3, Heavy Rain, Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, Killzone 2 and Dead Space.

@ Ben, whatever happened to the idea of doing the best games of each month, or did I simply miss June?

Thanks for all the informational help for me on MGS4, but with all those things you've mentioned, I've already done them over & over again.

I've gotten Vamps health bar down to ziltch Then I took him down
but when I got to actually needle him, and even though it shows that I have the needle, it doesn't do anything to Vamp, & it just never works on him.

The one thing I HAVE NOTICED, is that the needle icon has the same long red bar across it as those gun upgrades that you haven't acquired/bought from Dreben yet, so that's why I kept going backward & re-doing chapter 3 & 4 to see if I needed to pick up a full hidden needle somewhere, or check Dreben's for any help with it.

BTW, I've also re-read the manual dozens of times, but nowhere did I find that it actually states anything about that red bar across that needle icon(just says it for the guns & their upgrades).

Plus I wound up reading every walk-through I could find to see if there was some additional trick I wasn't catching on to, but none were found.

I even got my Gamestop guys to let me borrow the official MGS4 strategy guide for the night & I photo-copied the whole 4 pages surrounding the whole Vamp fight.
I studied the guide & walkthroughs & did everything they said to do, and I still can't make that needle juice Vamp into a stupor.

So for now, I've got to believe it all boils down to that red bar that's going across my needle icon.
But I don't know how to eliminate that damned bar. I even checked to see if I could buy or upgrade my needle icon, to no avail, cause after every single thing I tried, the freaking red bar is still there.

Replied to the wrong person, but, are you sure that you're using the right CQC attack? That was my problem, I kept stuffing up which button I was pressing.

The needle you get from Naomi, I think, and there is no need to upgrade it at all.

Biker when you have the needle equipped make sure your don't have any long arms equipped. Like a rifle or a machine gun. You can only use CQC compatible weapons like a pistol or a knife when grabbing someone.

Keep working at it. You'll figure it out. Not sure why that red bar is there. I'd have to see what your game looks like to really figure it out.

Thanks guy!

If what you just said is the case, then I think you just might have given me the solution, because if I remember right I think I have mostly all long rifles or machine guns in my stock right now, instead of just CQC weapons.

And that's probably why I'm also getting the red bar across my needle icon too.

Anyway, I'll go back & change it up, your way once I'm done with inFamous. And once I've got it working right, I'll relay what I had to do in case someone else goes through this same frigging scenario too.

Yea if thats the case, just unequipped your rifle or machine gun. You have to actually grab Vamp like you would if you were going to choke some one out while the needle is equipped. At that point you should be able to stick him with it.

The gamer is definately the winner this generation. Something for everyone.

Looking up at the games in my collection, my personal favourites are:

1. Uncharted 2
2. Heavy Rain
3. God of War III
4. Demon's Souls
5. Killzone 2

Adding Valkyria Chronicles, Metal Gear Solid 4, Infamous and GT5 to the PS3 exclusives list.

Phenominal AAA quality. No wonder my biggest problem in life is not the quality of the games but the quantity of the time that I have to play.

Oh to be a student again! This work, wife, kids is definately a drain on the valuable playing time! (not that I'd have it any other way...)

If everyone is going to give their top 5's, I might as well too.

5: COD Modern Warfare 2 (Even though I hate this game, I can't stop playing it.)
4: Ghostbusters The Video Game
3: Call of Duty 4
2: Uncharted 2
1: GTA IV

This is my top five and I'm sure many of you will not agree with me, since it appears to be cool to hate the COD series and GTA IV, neither is Ghostbusters very popular, but I can't deny I had a lot of fun playing it.

Other games I really like in my collection are inFamous, RDR (the ending really disappointed me, so did the multiplayer so far as I played it), Midnight Club: LA, Dirt 1 (bought it because it was just 20 euros and it's a lot of fun to play with the G25).
I have both Motorstorm games, but I like the first one better, as I prefer its physics.

Other games in my collection are BAJA: Edge of Control, which really disappointed me and EyeCreate, which isn't really a game.

Jeesh, I'm glad someone remembered CoD MW2. That was one I played this year that I forgot to mention.

Infinity Ward really made a big impact this gen. They effectively stalled, if not derailed the stream of WW2 FPS games and managed to topple MS's very own Halo in sales and popularity.
The original MW introduced us gamers to top notch animation, slick 60fps combat, and some of the most intense firefights ever seen. One just needs to remember how insane the "War Dog" level was the first time through to be reminded as to how chaotic the combat could get.

Granted, I know a lot of folks around this site like to dog on CoD, probably due to it's epidemic like trance it has with the competitive shooter fans out there. But hey, it's America! We have a military with a whole lot of guys who like guns. Let them have their fun and realize this kind of stuff is part of our culture.

UC2 and MGS4 are the games with everything polished and perfect, gameplay, sound and graphic.

Bayonetta offers one of the most intense gameplay ever.

I'm not a big fan of FPS but Killzone 2 arguably the best FPS yet.

But the best gaming experience I ever had is with ACII.
Never played anything like it, the game was almost flawless.

I like you list, and although I disagree about ac2 being almost flawless, i respect it cus it was a good game.

The thing that I dont like about the AC games is both had trouble story telling to me. They take forever to get into, but I am glad in 2 we spent more time as Ezio rather than flashing back to miles just to walk him to his room in the first.

I did get bored with AC it took me 2 years to finally finish it, I only finished it cus i got AC2, which I also ended up taking a break from. I finally finished it and I'm glad I did, its a great game. The tedious stuff was minimized, and the story played out a little better.

My list for this gen:

1.(Super)Street Fighter 4: This may seem like an odd choice but in a generation of multiplayer dominated games I can't help but feel that this game does it in a way I loved it most. Because as my avatar can attest I have been a SF fan for a long time. That said, nothing from my second choice which is basically also number 1 in my heart.

2. MGS4 Hands down my favorite experience this gen as someone who basically grew up on MGS (MGS4 is my firefox skin) I can't help but feel an immense love for this series and especially it's climax(?)

3. Uncharted 2, which is self explanatory in every way, if I had as much attachment from childhood it could easily be at number 1. I also feel this is overall the best looking game on consoles hands down, not even GOW 3 can touch this visually.

4. Fallout 3, I'm a sucker for exploration and Fallout 3 gives you those options, as well as a sense of immersion and depth that should be applauded for years to come. It may not be the prettiest game, and at times it would even have some glitching, but this is a game that forces you to ignore the flaws.

5. Little Big Planet, possibly the game I spent the least amount of time with on this list, but the game I feel truly shows most what the future can hold and for this reason it's not only one of the most important PS3 games it's one of the most important of this generation. User created content is not a new idea, nor is platforming, but LBP happens to combine ideas of the past, with new ones to create an experience that is integral I feel to what gaming can become, an ever evolving community.

2] Uncharted 2
3] Battlefield Company 2
4] Trine
5] Super Stardust HD

MGS4, Heavy Rain and GoWIII are on my shopping list, but I am waiting for prices to drop further. Will probably get them next year sometime. I won't wait on KZ3 or GT5 though, i will probably get those as day 1 purchases.

For me its

The last 'old-school' Had me hooked and then to eventual see a world map!

IV. Siren Blood Curse:
This game came as a suprise to me, it's by far the best survival horror game i have played this gen (this or Dead Space).

III. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots:
What can i say, a fitting ending to what is proably the best ecxulsive series the playstation has.

II. Final Fantasy XIII:
I know many hated it, but to me this was so, so FRESH! it drawed me in 100% and would not let me go, seriously 2 months of solid play to get the platinum trophy. loved every minute of it though.

I. Heavy Rain:
Quite remarkable, i loved Farenheit for the PS2, but this was something else, never before had i seen such realism in a game. I'm just so glad i had no spoilers shouted at me before.

All the above are perfect examples to why i still play games.

I hate making top 5's, or tens or any list grading the different stuff I played or watched.
Especially with games this is hard, since there are so many I liked and looking at my collection I'm just glad this editorial wasn't top five games of all time -_-

#5: Little Big Planet.
Though I wasn't very into the creating thing, I did make some levels, never finished one, and thus never published one. Still the game is so much fun, especially since you can go platforming with 4 people, usually ending up with lots of bitch-slaps. Anyway, hooray for acing all level!!!

#4: Ratchet And Clank: A Crack In Time (also Tools of Destruction, it's ok, since they're a saga o.O).
I always liked the Ratchet And Clank saga, ever since the PS2 I've been collecting golden(and platinum) bolts, only so I can check my stats and see that I have them all, oh the great time spent on exploring every corner of every world, definitely a recommendation to anyone who is up for some awesome platforming action.

#3: God of War 3.
Kratos' body is probably one of the most detailed bodies in a game I've seen this far, now I would say best looking, but compared to Chloe, come on...
Yeah, this game combines awesome fighting, crazy gore, good puzzling(I loved the M.C Escher like Hera garden puzzle) and of course awesome visuals.
How I hated those challenges of Olympus, still I completed them all, hooray for completing all challenges of Olympus!!!

#2: Demon's Souls.
Now, I haven't finished this one yet, still, what I've played was so friggin' fun. This is one of the most addictive games I've ever played, together with Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 of course and the number one in my list, also the first game of that serie, but before we go there,
Hooray for beating my tenth official boss (eleven if you include the red dragon)!!!

#1: Uncharted 2.
You guessed it, in fact you probably knew it before you started reading, but it really is that good.
Great graphics, awesome story, sick good characters, insane cool atmosphere, thinking about it, I'm going to play through it again now.
Hooray for Platinums!!!

I still have to play Demon's Souls to give an honest Top 5.

LittleBigPlanet did make it because of it being most classical, revolutionary, artistic and fun all at the same time. When I get LBP2, I will not trade in LBP1. Mario got a kick in the sack. And maybe even a Ratchet.

My sentiments about Heavy Rain are identical to Ben's. The most emotional and tense experience (perhaps in the history of gaming). However, for me, it was too emotionally-taxing for a 2nd playthrough! So I couldn't put in my personal top 5, but that takes nothing away from that game. It isn't my favorite game, but is certainly one of my most memorable ones of all time.

GOW3 was simply engulfing and mesmerizing... Graphically, musically, and theatrically. As a fan of the hack'n slash, I still prefer the adrenaline rush, the depth of gameplay, the challenge, and the replayability of NGS2, but for the first playthrough, GOW3 squashes the competition.

InFamous made it to my Top 5 most certainly...Possibly even my top 3. It's my favorite open-world game, and while not as epic in scale, scope and variety as GTA4, it was oddly more addictive. InFamous is the very definition of a sleeper-hit. InFamous 2 is currently my most eagerly, anticipated game (winning over Killzone 3, and maybe not over Uncharted 3, but honestly, that gem is a ways off in the future methinks).

U2 is definitely in my top 2. It even won my heart over games of my personal favorite genres (racing and hack'n-slash/beat'um-up action adventure). Everything this game did, it nailed. Beautiful to both the eyes, the ears (and even to the heart!), I can't sing enough praises for this game, both as an achievement and as satisfying product. It took on MGS4, and won (thanks to the tighter action and, what may seem as an unfair comparison, a less over-whelming story due to not having to wrap up the biggest chronicles of story-telling in gaming history)! I'll tell you this much, if Uncharted in the next generation adds an open-world, and vehicles a la GTA, or GTA gets the visuals, the tight action, and splendid production-values of Uncharted, that game will be my favorite game of all time! InFamous 2 seems it might come awfully close to that target, if not attain it, though without driving. Currently, U2 has the highest honor.

Deadspace did not make my top 5, but it made my top 10 for sure. As a person who never played a legitimate horror-survival game, I hadn't even played RE4! But perhaps, i'm glad I didn't, because for my first experience of the genre, it brought the scares in the most graphical and intense way. Awesome job Visceral Studios. Deadspace 2 will be a sure purchase, and thanks to you, I'm a fan of the genre, and have a renewed trust in EA.

Portal. My favorite puzzle game. It revolutionalized two genres simultaneously (first person and platformers). If it did not make my top 5, it most definitely made my top 7. Oh yeah, sorry for the spoiler but the cake isn't a lie. "Aperature Science" is the best game-ending theme song of all time.

While Resistance 1 and 2, Ratchet & Clank: Future Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty, and A Crack in Time did not make my top 5, Insomniac did make it as my favorite studio. Why? They released 4 AAA titles within 4 years! Sure, they're officially 3rd party now, but like R*, their work is first-rate.

Oh yeah, I have to give an honorable mention to Wipeout HD/Fury. Although I haven't played Burnout:Paradise, Wipeout HD is my favorite fix for speed, adrenaline, online excitement. Wipeout will always remain synonymous with Sony, as Wipeout is what introduced me to Sony. And it is definitely the best and the fullest offering on the PSN, being better than most retail racers. The MotoStorms are terrific pick-up and play fun, so although I'm very sad about Studio Liverpool's closing, but I'm happy out of all the studios they could've been assimilated by, it was with Evolution Studios.

Ok, tentative personal top 5 list:

1. Uncharted 2
2. LittleBigPlanet
3. inFamous
4. Wipeout HD/Fury
5. Ratchet & Clank: FTOD & ACIT

Honorable mentions: Grand Theft Auto 4, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Portal, Ratchet & Clank:FTOD & ACIT, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, GOW3, Dead Space, Motor Storm: Pacific Rift, ModNation Racers, AC2.

Again, this is a tentative list. I still have yet to play Demon's Souls.

Oops, I left R&C both as number 5 and an honorable mention...that's because I left it there by accident after changing my mind over GTA4, NGS2, and the R&C's... Resistance 1 & 2, Uncharted 1, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 are also worth honorable mentions.

Dude, you dont just pay $10 for that! You get tons of other stuff. Its a great game just get over that you have to pay for it. It takes money to make money. They are spending time and money on taking RDR further, when they don't even have to. we are getting 4 packs by the end of the year. Thats a lot of work!

I will play Liars Dice with you Alienange when that time comes!

I think the point Kraygen is making is these features should have been included. R* sold this free roam idea like it was the second coming. Its not. There's nothing to do in there short of terrorizing other players and going to the gang hide outs.

A lot of this stuff they are selling to us should have come with the game. Some of the new DLC packs seem interesting but for the most part they are a rip off.

Thats what you guys always say about DLC, It should have been included. Even if dlc came about 2 years after the game, I'm sure someone would say it should have been included. Thats just dumb.

I'm a huge fan of the game, I loved the game, I don't think they are a rip off. Some stuff I do agree should have been there like more hideouts, and the co-op they just released, that was free by the way. Other than that we are getting completely new gameplay.

Regardless you have your thoughts bout it, I have mine, but bottom line, whats being done is being done. Do you wanna be happy at least R* is doing something to further the experience or complain that they are charging us for it?

I would hate to be a developer this day and age honestly. They get so much bull from spoiled a** people about the game THEY created, the idea that they brought to life for US! Developing is hard work, and takes lots of money. We should be thankful always, 5 years ago we didnt have the luxury of patches or DLC! When a game was done, the game was done!

More ignorance from Jawknee? Isn't there a game bashing site you can visit?

If you don't know what to do in Free Roam, don't come around here spewing nonsense about what was claimed by Rockstar. Rockstar said Free Roam would be an open world multiplayer game lobby. They delivered on that promise and then some. Try taking a look at the challenges. The Free Roam is near identical to the fantastic multiplayer in Burnout Paradise.

"Should have come with the game" is getting old fast. As if including multiplayer Liars Dice with the original game would have somehow changed your criticisms.

Alienange makes good points too. R* did deliver on their promise as to what the free roam would be. It's more of a lobby than say an open world like idk, WOW I guess (best I could come up with as far as MP goes). But despite that, its a fun atmosphere to meet up with friends!

I just don't get why people take evrything for granted. As I said 5 years ago we looked back at games and regardless of how good they were sometimes, glitches happened, or we look at it and say it would be cool if this was added.

Now days that stuff can happen and when it does people expect it to be handed out! I just don't understand that. Its being spoiled. I look back at the article Ben wrote about PS3 gamers being spoiled or not. I can honestly say now, we are spoiled way too much and it obviously gets to people.

Actually thats NOT what is say about all or most DLC. Some i have found to be worth it and some not. This new stuff R* is selling should have come with the game(some of it anyway) They over advertised the free roam aspect of the game and that cant be denied. As for your question, no im not happy they are trying to "further the experience." They are nickel and diming people and if you cant see that then your just another one of these consumers who gets taken to the cleaners because he was suckered into paying extra for something that was most likely going to be apart of the overall package to be begin with but stripped because they new they could sell it separate.

Alienage, give it a rest. You've mentioned you were married so i assume your an adult. Try making an argument like one and not some petulant child. I love how you resort to name calling every time you disagree and act like some one just ran over your dog. Just goes to show how weak your arguments are.

I think when you put all things aside and ask yourself what are the best games this generation then you have to compare. Heavy Rain may be some of the most original work we've ever seen, and GOW 3 may be a technical masterpiece.

But where does that him home with the person? Sometimes all it takes is one character to make a difference in which game is better for a person.

Now if we were talking solely about one or the other then obviously you can't say that GOW3 is the better game or vise versa, well because they are not even near the same type of experience.

Well my top list of 5 must haves (not necessarily my fav.) if I had to narrow it down, from the games in MY library would be-

5) Oblivion plus Shivering Isles expansion

4) Metal Gear Solid 4

3) Uncharted: Drakes Fortune

2) God of War 3

1) Uncharted 2: Among thieves

If I had to Finish out a top ten it would be like this.

6) Red Dead Redemption

7) Killzone 2

8) Little Big Planet

9) inFamous

10) Prince of Persia

Other games would have been Dragon Age, Heavenly sword, If Resistance: Fall of Man MP was still bringing lots of people that would have been on there, I loved the SP in it, the story is compelling, but I truly fell in love the the MP, and now I cant play it anymore, as good as R2 is... Assassins Creed 2 should be up there, really it should, I did have at ten but as I look back on inFamous, that game was just plain fun and I throughly enjoyed it more.

I must also mention that some arguments can be made about PoP being in there but what they did moving the series to an open world, bringing back true fun and difficult puzzles, and a combat system that worked really well for that game, its awesome. Any hack n slash, action platformer, and puzzle fan would enjoy it I believe.

And I've yet to buy Heavy Rain, I know its great but I cant put it on my list cus I havn't played it.

My top 5 faves would be:

1) Uncharted 2
One of the best, if not THE best, games I've ever played.

2) Oblivion
Besides World of Warcraft, I have never sunk so much time into a game. I have over 100 hours into it and still haven't finished the main quest (I putz around a lot and had a lot of fun with the two expansions)

3) Dragon Age: Origins
I LOVE this game. Great story and writing and the jokes between the party members really made me laugh.

4) Mass Effect 2
Another BioWare gem. They know how to use the medium to tell stories. Has some decent DLC, too, to keep it fresh.

5) A Kingdom for Keflings
It's a shame this little gem hasn't come to the PSN (that I know of). It's a simple game but fun and addicting. Games by these smaller dev groups are what make services like PSN and XBL as cool as they are, in my opinion.

But man, oh man, do they give you all kinds of stuff to do on the side. To me, the side quests and such are much more fun than the main.

I kind of agree, I think the story unfolded and was told better. And even more exciting.

But the story was PLAYED (the gameplay) out better in Uncharted 2. The action was so perfect, and amazing. And obviously Uncharted 2 is a technical masterpiece un-compromised at this point! Both are among my top five fav. games of all time! They are both unbelievable!

I think previous GOW's never really had good endings, or even very deep stories. I realized that when I replayed the GOW collection. I just think GOW3 was less of an evolutionary jump in the genre than GOW1 was, and less variety than GOW2. It of course had the best graphics, and action, though.

It was Ben's personal top 5 games. If those games aren't listed, it's because they're not in his top 5. I just don't see the big deal that they're all PS3 exclusives. Aren't people allowed to like what they like anymore?

Not to say those are bad either Booze. I liked MW1 quite a bit and while i never liked GTA games like RDR or Infamous likely wouldn't exist. So i commend it.

Do you still care about Final Fantasy Versus XIII?

	Sort of, I just wish they'd tell us more.
	Not really, I've started to lose interest.
	No. Don't care about vaporware.
