1. 

2. Metal Gear Solid 4

3. Uncharted (both)

1. Persona 4

2. Valkyria Chronicles

3. Bioshock

1) New Super Mario Bros Wii - An excellent example of how to retell a legendary tale to a new audience in a brand new light with rich humour and deeply explored characters. The element of surprise was impeccable as well.

2) New Super Mario Bros DS - An excellent example of how to retell a legendary tale to a new audience in a brand new light with rich humour and deeply explored characters.

3) Mario Kart DS/Wii - 'Nuff said.

I would like to redo my list with my gaming keyboard like the others in this thread.

1. Phoenix Wright series (preferably the last one in the series)

2. Bioshock (Come on, would you kindly? Best twist ever.)

3. Persona 3

Mentions: Since I edited twice I took out Lost Odyssey and the Mass Effect series. Those were great honorable mentions.

Edit: Oh crap, well this gen I guess u could use DS examples. In that case I edited.

Edit: Edited again cause I'm dumb and forgot Persona lol.

I want to say the fact I can really die and the possibility of making my own story got me in Heavy Rain.

I love the Bioshock too... my 4th.

2. The World Ends With You
