Japan easily... Japan>Europe>America.



Tough call. I think NA comes out first with EU very close behind. Japan is so far behind that it is like watching a Samoan sprinter in olympics.

 



Obviously America. America is superior in almost everything, including the craftmanship of video games.

I do like the game design mentality of Eastern Europe though, it's just that they are such a small part of the world and they entered the gaming business so recently that they naturally can't compete with the quantity of games being made elsewhere.

Japan still makes a few gems (ironically WRPGs) but they are few and far between.

The UK went down the toilet ages ago. I love the British as a nation and culture but I really don't like the games produced in the UK anymore.



While you listed a bunch of irrelevant Sony exclusives (Jak, Spyro, Infamous, Jak, Ratchet) you forgot some huge game series that are from America:

Fallout, Diablo, Dragon Age, Starcraft, Warcraft, Doom, Left 4 Dead, Age of Empires, Saints Row, Splinter Cell, Far Cry and Borderlands.

Japan. Europe and the U.S. are tied for second.

Wow, what a hard question. I'd rate them all about equally.

European games normally play to my sensibilities better. Things like LittleBigPlanet & Fable this generation, things like Theme Hospital & MediEvil in generations gone past. Just have a distinctly British feel to them and I really love that.

We're also king of racing games, in my opinion. WipEout, Burnout, Motorstorm, Blur, PGR to name but a few.

I like Japan, mainly for the JRPG's - PS1 era Final Fantasy games, Wild ARMs, Valkyria Chronicles. Kingdom Hearts etc. There haven't been a great deal of these that I've enjoyed this gen though, compared to previous ones (perhaps that's because I missed out on handheld gaming).

Japan often get platformers right too - Ape Escape, 3D Mario, some Sonic games - but again, it's been a fairly quiet one for that this generation. Metal Gear Solid is the anomaly of a Japanese shooter that I really enjoy.

USA gets a lot right. The 3D era platformers - Spyro, Crash, Jak, Ratchet, Sly are some of my favourite games of all time.

There's always gems that appear in other genres too - Infamous, Uncharted, Portal, The Sims etc. all get so much right. But there's many big name IP's from the USA that I find less enjoyable.

I would have trouble picking just one region. I voted Europe because traditionally that's always been my favourite region for games, but it's been a quiet one this gen. Japan has been quiet for me too, although like I say - that may be because I missed out on handhelds, which I'll be correcting soon when I play PSP games on my Vita. USA is hit and miss - some of my favourite games ever, but a lot of over-rated stuff.



Japan no question.

You're being serious?  America is not superior in almost everything.  

 

On topic, you listed Kingdom Hearts twice.



Japan by far ,this gen everyone did notice that J-Rpgs are in a terrible decline. But hey Square Enix is opening a lot of new Studios getting ready for the next gen (:
