The fact that Borderlands 2 is not in the top 25 yet is a travesty.  Best game of 2012 by a longshot.

Important question, Vita/3DS qualifies for all this? Anything that released before PS4/Xbone release?

Same question for PS2/PSP/DS games that released after PS360 released.

Edit: So I read a bit into the thread and realized you're defining it solely by consoles/handhelds meaning PS2, Wii U, Vita, and 3DS games are all off limits.

Not that I'm complaining because I appreciate you compiling this data but... I don't think you can call this the "definitive" version because there will be games released after PS4/Xbone for current gen that people will want to list.

Last gen had God of War 2; then tonnes of Japanese stuff like Persona 3 & 4/Rogue Galaxy/Odin Sphere and my own personal favourite, Wild ARMs 5.

Certainly, 2014 seems to have a similar lineup of Japanese releases to 2007. 

1. The Last of Us.
2. Final Fantasy XIV a Real Reborn
3. Diablo III.
4. Tekken 6
5.Gears of War 3.
6. God of War 3.
7.Uncharted 2.
8.Halo 4.
9. Ni No Kuni.
10. The Elder Scrolls Skyrim

What i am trying to say is that you can still vote for those games in next gen top 10's

But they'll all be current gen games?

1.Metroid Trilogy (could call it a remake if that makes it allowed)
2.Last of Us
3.Mario Galaxy 2
4.COD4
5.Bioshock
6.NiNoKuni
7.Resistance FOM
8.Ratchet and Clank ACIT
9.LOZ TP
10.SSBB

they will be both meaning you can still vote for them.  Look at Twilight Princess as an example.  People still vote for it a lot and it is on Gamecube as well as Wii

1. Valkyria Chronicles (PS3)
2. Lost Odyssey (360)
3. Nier (PS3)
4. Uncharted 2 (PS3)
5. Crisis Core: FFVII (PSP)
6. Demon's Souls (PS3)
7. Tales of Vesperia (360)
8. Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)
9. Bioshock (360)
10. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

HM
11. Jeanne d'arc (PSP)
12. Valkyria Chronicles 2 (PSP)
13. Bayonetta (360)
14. Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation - The Endless Frontier (DS)
15. Catherine (PS3)

If including remakes, then FF4 DS gets in at #2 and pushes everything down one spot.

Edit: And I forgot my list was made before Last of Us..... I dunno where to put it but it's there.

Okay, but then look at Persona 4 or Wild ARMs 5 as examples, like I listed :P

They're not cross-gen games, but they were 2007 releases well after the PS360ii released.
