Games that "defined" the generation?
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - representing the defining genre
Wii Sports - representing the focus on controls (also Wii's defining title)
Wii Fit - representing the expanded audience and added peripherals
Minecraft - representing indies (also PC's defining title)
Words With Friends - representing mobile gaming
Animal Crossing: Wild World - representing handheld/touchscreen gaming (also DS's defining title)
Gears of War - Xbox 360's defining title
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - PS3's defining title
Monster Hunter Freedom - PSP's defining title
World of Warcraft - representing the MMO, although its position as part of the 7th generation is debatable (as it released early enough to possibly be considered 6th gen... as it's PC, the actual line is hard to define, do we base it on console generation, or handheld generation?)
EDIT: Note that I am not calling these the best games. But they certainly were the ones that established or epitomised certain features of the generation.
