Pisses me off that everyone's forgotten about MGS4.

For me this gen was defined by:

Metal Gear Solid 4
Super Mario Galaxy
Demon's Souls
God of War III
Gears of War
Read Dead Redemption


Maybe they haven´t forgotten, but *gasp* didn´t like it very much ?

Thorn about GTA 5 though...


I don't have GTA5, either.  Didn't want it.  I'll get it eventually, though.

What are you talking about. It won several GOTY awards, sold well and fans adored it:

What I am talking about is that recently (RECENTLY defeats the whole purpose of your post) it has been omitted from so many "Game of the generation" lists, or was very low down despited being praised by those self-same publications.

Tried to play as little as possible, awaiting PC version like ethomaz in a PS4 line for a GT7 bundle.

My only list MGS4 would make is the biggest disappointment list. It's main problem was and is its story, which is a huge mess and not what it should've been. It's a pretty big flaw for a game of a series I play largely for the story. Also, the game wasn't that great otherwise, either.

And has magically disappeared from pretty much all fav lists since a while now.

See my post above. It was GOTY. It was a masterpiece.

In non specific order:

1 - Portal
2 - Wii Sports
3 - Nintendogs
4 - Brain Trainning
5 - Mario Galaxy
6 - The Last of Us
7 - Plants vs Zombies
8 - Red Steel (terrible, but I like it)

There are many other gems, but those are the main ones that I will remember for quite a lot of time.
