1. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (or MP Trilogy)
2. No More Heroes
3. Mirror's Edge

 

 

I really enjoyed a lot of big name games, like Fallout 3, Uncharted 2, MGS4, Call of Duty 4, and Super Mario Galaxy, among others, but I didn't feel quite as connected to them as I did with MP3, NMH, and Mirror's Edge.

 

Metroid Prime 3 is my favorite in the entire trilogy. Although I dislike the beginning, the game really picks up after you visit Bryyo. From the creepy first encounter with a new breed of Metroids in Elysia (the Phazon Metroids), to the desolate atmosphere of the wreckage of the G.F.S. Valhalla, to the excitement I felt upon visiting the Pirate Homeworld for the first time, Corruption was a blast of an adventure from mid-beginning to the end. The game still looks absolutely gorgeous too, thanks to brilliant art direction.

 

No More Heroes was the most interesting storyline of the next generation for me, and that's why it's my number 2. It was ridiculous to the extreme, but that's why it was so bloody awesome. I loved the retro parts of the game, I enjoyed exploring the open world environment unlike most people (I liked finding cool new shirts to wear), and I even enjoyed the waggle.

 

 Mirror's Edge, to me, epitomizes the best of 3-dimensional platforming. Like any 2-d platformer, it has its own quirks, and sometimes things don't work the way you hoped, until you start understanding those quirks and adjusting to them. The world of ME is beautiful, the music absolutely haunting, and finding shortcuts a difficult, yet enjoyable, task. I'd love it if ME2 is a little more open-world than ME, but ME was still one of the best games I've played this generation. Walking into the Atrium later in the game and having to climb all the way up it in order to take up a sniper position? Epic. Hand-to-hand combat is also satisfying once you get the hang of it.

So only 360 games on your list. Way to show your bias, man.

Mass Effect 2 is on PC, and Bioshock is on everything
