>Call of Duty 4: Modern Wafare
Not a CoD hater, but it does not deserve a spot on the list. I genuinely like Call of Duty 4, but it's scripted shooter with a casual-oriented multiplayer component. Hardly the peak of the genre. It should have been replaced by either the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the first Crysis, or Team Fortress 2.
>LittleBigPlanet
Eh, I would have liken it more if the controlls were less sluggish. But it's sparks with a lot of creative possibilities. Too bad most of it is wasted on dick jokes and Naruto references.
>Bayonetta
No complaints here.
>Super Street Fighter IV
A great game, but it's arguably not the best in the series. Street Fighter Alpha 3 or Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike rightfully deserve that spot. As the best Street Fighter game that is, not on the list of the best games of 7th gen.
>Red Dead Redemption
Nothing to complain about, but I'd rank it above Grand Theft Auto V.
>Grand Theft Auto V
Again, nothing to really complain about.
>Portal
It's a great tech-demo, and nothing more.
>The Last of Us
It's a decent, but grossly over-hyped game. The story is a mish-mash of post-apocalyptic and zombie films cliches. The A.I. is dumber than a sack of bolts, it shown none of the promises that were displayed in the E3 2012 demo.
>Super Mario Galaxy
Oh, definitely. It's arguably even better than Super Mario 64.
>Dark Souls
I would have placed it on my list, but Demon's Souls was a much more difficult game. This is coming from someone who played Dark Souls before Demon's Souls.
