Mass Effect is my favorite franchise, and although multiplatform, it's weird starting from the second game on PS3.

I can understand that.  I actually credit the 360 as being the birthplace of the original Bioshock, too.  Even though it's multiplatform now, it was exclusive to the 360 for over a year, and that's the system where I played it first.

 

When you say you love Uncharted that much, do you mean just Uncharted 2 or both UC1 and 2? I ask because I loved UC2, but hated UC1 (just too glitchy for me).

I liked Uncharted 1, but yeah, Uncharted 2 is massively better; that's the game that makes me truly love the series, and I'm sure U3 won't disappoint either.

 

Also every system typically has 1 hallmark game, which stand out. For most PS3 owners I would imagine that is Uncharted 2. For 360 it's likely either Halo or Gears of War (Gears for me), for Wii it's Mario Kart and Zelda, for Gamecube it was Resident Evil 4, and for PS2 it could be many things (3D GTA for me). Xbox had Halo (best rated FPS ever). PS1 had MGS and FFVII, N64 had Zelda and Mario Kart (again), SNES had probably the best selection of JRPG's and Donkey Kong, and well yea.

I guess for you Uncharted is the hallmark of hallmarks. I feel similar for Mass Effect, but Chrono Trigger is still my favorite game.

Well, my hallmark game overall this gen is, as you can guess, Bioshock (NOT Bioshock 2, though).  But as far as hallmark games I associate with a particular system, then for PS3 it's definitely Uncharted 2  (MGS4 is close).  For Wii it's the Galaxies and Mario Kart (SSBB is close).  For DS it's Mario Kart, NSMB and Picross.  For Gamecube it's Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4 (Wind Waker, RE1 remake and Eternal Darkness are close).  For DC it's Soul Calibur (MvsC2 is close).  For N64 it's both Zeldas and SM64 (Waverace 64 is close).  For PS1 it's Castlevania SOTN (Metal Gear Solid and RE1 are close).   Not too sure what I'd say for 360 (other than Bioshock, since that's where it debuted) or PS2...
