GOTY lists and sports GOTY lists arent the same thing. The rest i redirect back to you.

Ex-actly lol you can't explain that to some ignorant gamers tho. The bests sports sim of the generation has every right to make an end of the generation lists. I'm not a huge FPS fan but I see the quality in them. Some gamers are complete loons with how reject anything that's not wrapped in a bow and looks familiar to their facade of a world they've created. NBA 2K11 is remarkable. Anyone with common sense and sanity can see that.

I would add mario galaxy 1 or 2 to the list but other than that great.

By the way do you consider twilight princess this gen or last gen?

Dark Souls 2, The Evil Within, Metal Gear Solid 5...this generation is not over yet.

Unfortunely for you, that is all your own conjecture. I made clear questions on why such a game would be unique and all you had was a jordan  highlights career mode. Nothing about the game is something that anyone will come back to, and theres no reason to believe future games wont include the same highlights mode.

Why dont you try to remember last gen. How many sports games were games of the generation you can think about? Cmon... you're joking. Its ok if you like the game, its ok if its your personal preferance. But in a logical and temporal analysis no one is gonna remember the game in 10 years or go back to play it, or therefore will anyone recommend someone else to get that game if they get a 360/ps3 at that point. What you are saying is personal preferance at present. Its not something that endures the test of time.

But alas, it seems this isnt "top ten games of the generation", its "your list of 10 games you enjoyed the most this generation". Its not really my fault if you fail at understanding concepts and go on irrational rampages thinking you are right.

LOL! You're nuts. They are the same bEcause they are all....wait for it....VIDEO GAMES!!! Who made this illogical rule you speak of btw? What manual or gamers guide is it from? Is it a phd in close minding gaming that solicits such nonsense? lol

Youre embarrassing yourself lol what does a new Jordan mode years later have to with how great NBA 2K11 was and is? Nothing. News flash: their gonna make a more refined Uncharted, Fallout, and Gran Theft as well doesn't change how great their current gen iterations are. Your logic is completely baseless and borderline psychotic lol does advancement in graphics change how great Tecmo Super Bowl on NES is? Hell no lol One of the greatest GAMES (not sports games but games period) ever made. Go back to Delusion Island mate lol 

Yes, i expected more of that kind of talk from you. Sadly, you are incorrect yet again. The settings, the stories, the characters will all be different on new uncharted, fallout, etc. Continue to show blindness, if you so wish.

Actually, why dont you tells us how much you go back to play that NBA2K game, or that FIFA 2000 game or even that tecmo game you mention. How long do you play them for? Not only that as you only mention sports famous on the US, but are supposed to be "games of the generation". Its arrogance without boundaries. If you want to classify the top 10 gamesof the generation by classes, you failed to mention that in the first post. What we have here is nothing more than pure preference, wich is ok, but the thread title is misleading on that case.

You literally made a list of nearly all the over-rated, overhyped games this gen IMO. The Last of Us especially, I would only have given that an 8.3/10, people always talk about the game being realistic because you're limited on ammo and health is low, but you still kill over 100 people, plus the ending was just outrageous.

What I consider to be the top 10 games of this gen, without counting DS remakes like Chrono Trigger and Front Mission (which are AWESOME). Note this is different from my top 10 favorite, it's the 10 I think are the best.

1. Lost Odyssey - A swan songs to old-school gaming, this is probably the last good high budget, AAA turn based RPG they will ever make for a home console. This is an embodyment of what gaming used to be, and I think people who have played RPG's for over 15 years will appreciate this.

2. XenoBlade Chronicles - Just an awesome 60+ hour JRPG, with a great plot. I don't think I've ever played a JRPG with an open world this big.

3. Mass Effect 2 - Well made WRPG. The plot isn't too thick, but the pacing, and the blend of RPG and shooter is just done perfectly

4. Gears of War 2 - Awesome campaign, probably the most story driven shooter. This game is well done, everyone copied Horde mode after this game released.

5. Fallout 3 - F***ing awesome post apocolyptic RPG. Really interesting world, and it never gets boring poping headshots.

6. Gears of War - Before Gears of War, almost no games used cover. Now, nearly every game has a cover system. Groundbreaking gameplay mechanics, topped with one of the most meloncholy plots in a video game. If you think Last of Us was emotional, you never played this.

7. Halo: Reach - Best Halo ever, Bungies swansong to the Halo series.

8. Uncharted 2 - Best Action/Adventure game this gen, comidic and action packed

9. Pokemon Black/White - Best handheld game ever, B/W revives the old Pokemon formula, and brings this franchise back to life. No matter how old you get, this is still awesome

10. Skyward Sword - Best use of Wii-mote controls. Honestly, you feel like a bad ass when you actually slice your enemies into pieces. I might put this higher when I beat the game, I'm loving the boss battles.

Hahahahaha *takes breath* hahahahahaha really must be lonely out there in ur delusional universe. You are te only one showing arrogance of preference , close mindedness and baseless opinion touted as fact. Stop projecting. You hate sports games so every list containing a sports game has no merit. That is the very definition of arrogant and close minded. You sir are pathetic lol and you loss this "debate" ages ago lol give up 

1. Halo 4
2. GTA 5
3. Gears of War 3
4. The Last of Us
5. BioShock Infinite
6. Red Dead Redemption
7. Deus Ex Human Revolution
8. Final Fantasy XIII
9. Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare
10. Lost Odyssey
