CoD 4 takes the top spot.



Around the Network

360: mass effect
Gears of war
Dead space
Xbox live, not a game, but DEFINATELY helped define the generation.
Achievements, again, not a game, but was so successful, that Sony copied it, and I'm honestly surprised
Nintendo didn't end up copying it too.

PS3: TLOU
Uncharted

Wii: mario galaxy
Wii sports
Wii motion controller, not a game, but made Sony replicate it 100%, and Microsoft come up with kinect.
Mario kart
New super mario bros.



Wii Sports
Batman Arkham Asylum
Assassins Creed
Uncharted
Gears of War
Walking Dead
Call of Duty 4

Nothing more than MGS4.

It's why I bought the PS3 and it was better than anything I played on Wii/360 before (yes I started out on those two).

It's my favourite series and it was everything I wanted it to be.



"leave a mark on your gaming lives and the game industry."

This isn't about the broad range of games you liked or even played, many seems to just be listing good games, that's pointless. You've got to think what actually made the generation that it was.

Call of Duty 4 - without it we may never have even had competitive multiplayer in a lot of games.
Gears of War - cover shooting, it was huge last gen
LPB - Creative input from users
Wii Sports - innovative controls

That's it. I've not even played 2 of these but I can see their influence.



Hmm, pie.

Wii Sports, New Super Mario Bros., Call of Duty IV, Minecraft. Everything else is one step below the relevance of those four, or isn't too different from the previous entries in its franchise.



Super Mario Galaxy, CoD4, BioShock, Gears of War, Wii Sports, Uncharted 2, The Last of Us, Halo 3!
