The way I'm deciding what games to list is based on what I'll say in 10 years when I'm asked the question, "What games stood above the rest?" 

This generation, I'd have to say Portal first. That game is revolutionary and there is absolutely nothing about it I'd change.

Second is Super Mario Galaxy. Platforming puzzles in that game literally made me say "wow." No other game had done that before. Also a masterpiece.

Third, Metal Gear Solid 4 simply for its epic-ness. I don't think it's as good a game as the other two, but the quality is in the elite tier.

Games that will never, ever, ever!! be forgotten: Wii Sports and Halo 3 (everyone and their mother knows what Halo is).
