Games to define a generation I wouldn't say are games that are good or even that I've played. The games I think defined this gen are:

Wii Sports - well, it brought motion controls to the masses.
CoD4 - brought multiplayer to the masses
Skyrim - brought open world aventure to the masses
Uncharted 2 - adventure perfection
Mario Galaxy - platforming perfection
Mass Effect (series) - moral choices thing (Sci-Fi helped)
Little Big Planet - creator content
Journey - indie stature
Portal - because Portal.

And for my choice, Spec Ops The Line for making me feel sick and regreting playing the game.

A shame JRPG is missing from this list.

Quoting is messed up on my PC for some reason. I'll see if this works-- Little Big Planet 2 was a gem for me! If I made a top 20, it would definitely be amongst them. My kid and I played so many user created levels together. And, while I was thinking of my list last night (that's what I do at work when I should be...err...working...) I wanted to add Lost Odyssey just to cover the RPG gap. It fally just shy of greatness, though. And dammit--how did I not include Valkyria Chronicles!! It's my favorite PS3 game!
