Well we are a way into this generation now, plenty of time for hits to be released and disapointments as well. What has wowed you, entertained you, distracted you, made you curse for a variety of reasons, and sit on the edge of your seat? What are your top 5 games this gen so far?

For me

5. Warhawk

I've only had this game for about a month but it has owned so much of my free time. Huge in scope, deep in strategy and technique, varied and fresh, balanced and fair, chaotic and fast paced, this is what a multiplayer game should be. It's lack of single player doesn't disapoint me in the least with how incredible the multiplayer is.

4. Portal

A marvel of a game. A small group of independant developers had a great concept that got picked up by an incredible developing house and magic was made. Fresh and innovative with a wicked sense of humor an absolute must play for any fan of videogames.

3. Call of duty 4

Won a many a game of the year awards and with very good reason. The phenomenal single player experience is a natural extension of the ideas forged by the original Half Life and it's ilk, by keeping you in character at all times and providing intense scripted events, it made a frantic, cinematic and often times frightening experience of war. With unforgettable often haunting scenes, and an incredible and emotional ending the single player is a ride that shouldn't be missed. And I don't even have to mention it's multiplayer that stole a many a lives from innocent gamers.

2. No More Heroes

A game that never achieved the level of success it deserved. Artistic in every sense of the word, it is Suda 51's masterpiece. Over the top satirical violence, unforgettable bad ass characters, amazing soundtrack, deeply layered story and piece alltogether, it is brilliant. One of the few games that makes good use of the wii's motion controls, it doesn't add excessive waggle for the hell of it, but uses it as punctuation to your attacks. Pulling your hands apart, then slamming them down to perform a german suplex (with flying sword landing in the guy's head after Travis gets up) is incredibley satisfying. The boss fights were unique, engaging, and exploding with personality. I fell in love with each boss even though they only get a brief dialogue, and then a fight and are gone forever. I found my self screaming at the TV, trash talking, actually sitting on the edge of my couch, swinging my arms with far more ferocity than necessary because I was just that engaged in the fights with the bosses. This game has lots of inside jokes, hidden references, and little clues, I've played through this game several times and each time I do I find something or realize something that I didn't the last time. Travis Touchdown is by for my favorite new character introduced this generation and I really really really hope it's not the last we see of him.

1. Super Mario Galaxy

Another game that won lots of Game of the Year Awards and with good reasons. A wet dream for any long time Nintendo gamer, Super Mario Galaxy is everything you could want in a 3d Mario and more. I don't have much to say on this one because it's so self explanatory. Mario is the face of videogames and with good reason. This game is pure joy, it's hard not to smile the entire time you're playing.

That's my list, how about yours?

Metal Gear Solid 4

Call of Duty 4

Resistance Fall of Man

Motorstorm

Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga

All taken from my PS3 collection

Hmm looking at mine I've got 2 PS3 games (from my perspective, I played COD4 on PS3 and Portal on PC) 2 wii games and a PC game. All consoles have gotten plenty of incredible games, there are no losers this gen. If you own any of the systems or just a good PC you're getting alot of bang for your buck.

1-Condemned 2
2-Brawl
3-Galaxy
4-Crackdown
5-BioShock

1 - Halo 3

2 - Team Fortress 2

3 - Oblivion

4 - Brawl

5 - GTA 4 (Don't even own it but its awesome.)

1. Warhawk
2. Mario Galaxy
3. Mario Kart Wii
4. SSBB

Not sure about number 5.

Brawl
Bioshock
Portal
Metroid Prime 3
Half-Life 2: Episode 2

I really can't decide on a 5th nothing else blew me away quite like thos 4 up there except RE4: Wii but that's a last gen game. I'd also say Gears of War, but I'd be lying, it was an ok game great for roommate bonding time and that was about it. So HL2 ep2 it is. That mini game wass just pure genius and win wrapped into one.

1. Super Smash Brothers Brawl
2. Super Mario Galaxy
3. Metal Gear Solid 4
4. Mario Kart Wii
5. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

1. Super Mario Galaxy
2. Mario Kart Wii
3. Call of Duty 4
4. Orange box
5. Zack and wiki

5. Brothers in Arms DS

This little known and littl'r purchased game shouldn't be getting my praise based on it's tired WW2 setting, but the controls are just so much fun that I love it. the stylus as a mouse mechanic works fantastically and is why I really need to get Metroid Hunters as soon as the price comes down.

EDIT: Ok, swap out Brothers in Arms DS with Zack & Wiki. I loved Zack & Wiki!

4. Elite Beat Agents

I don't think I need to explain to people why there's so much fun to be had with this little gem

3. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles

I'm not sure if there's ever been a railshooter with so much depth, polish, atmosphere and sheer fun. As a newbie to the RE world, it really has me interested in all the other RE games, and I know that I'll be coming back to this one for it's great replayability(I need my S rankings!) And the special stage is just awesome.

2. Mario Galaxy

If you have to ask why it's so high... I'm not talking to you. Although I'll understand if you ask why it isn't higher.

1. Wii Sports

That's right! Wii Sports is the most important thing to happen this gen. We just changed gaming here and damn did they do it right. For me, this is the most replayable game ever made. I'll be spending years boxing like a madman, training my backhand, knocking down pins and testing my fitness level (might drop off a bit when I finally find a copy of Wiifit though)

Yup, Wii Sports is my favourite game of this gen.
