Demon's Souls & Xenoblade on that list makes me happy.

Would have liked to see Tales of vesperia on there though.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

So what about GTA IV? It didn't make it exactly why?

Edit - I see, GTA and COD were absent of the list here on VGC, despite the size of the franchises. Shame on you, hipster VGC! :P

Still not quite sure of the point of this...

GTAIV is a 98 on X360/PS3 metacritic and a little over 10m sold on X360.  Surprising that it didnt get voted for more with numbers like that.




       

Glad to see Xenoblade and Mario/Zelda up there

No Twilight Princess? FOR SHAME.

Just curious, but why 46? Why not make it an even 50?

cause 50 is a bad number



Why is number one missing?

It's really surprising to see so many PS3 fans on this website, when you look at the top 10 games and there are only 2 PS3 exclusives.

Nintendo and MS really had a grip on the generation pre 2009.

Awesome job for XenoBlade, and Lost Odyssey. My two favorite console JRPG's this generation, amazing games, but lacking sales. They deserve more love.

Wow, the entire Gears of War, Mass Effect, and Unchated Trilogy's made that list. I'm surprised Halo: Reach didn't make the list, I thought it was the best of the console Halo's this gen.

I'm surprise by the fact it has a 98 score on metacritic.  GTA IV does not compare to SA or Vice city in terms of fun.
