Definitely GTA5. A family member got the game and I'm still waiting to play. He beat the whole game with a badly broken controller. I can't play that way, it don't do the game or me justice.

GTA5 was, to me, everything wrong with last gen. 

Terrible characters that are over-the-top violent for almost no reason, mowing down everything in sight. The story was crap, GTA Online was forced in and broken as hell, and it was filled with shitty pay-to-win aspects. It resonated the love-fest for shooters last generation. And this is coming from someone who loved GTA4, at least that game had a realistic main character who had reasons for the atrocities he comitted.

OT: 

Wii:
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Zelda: Skyward Sword
Metroid Prime 3
Xenoblade
Wii Sports

PS3:
Ni No Kuni
Metal Gear Solid 4
Uncharted
LittleBigPlanet
Last of Us

360:
Halo 3
Gears of War
GTA4
Lost Odyssey
Bioshock

PC:
TES: Oblivion/Skyrim
Fallout: 3/New Vegas
Civ 5

Honorable Mentions:
Batman Arkham Asylum/City
Twilight Princess (I like it better than Skyward Sword, but it wasn't as influential)
Far Cry
Assassin's Creed
Demon/Dark Souls


Halo 3 defined last gen? How? That work was done with the original Xbox.

This generation is starting out very well with games like Flappy Bird and Goat Simulator!

you guys, i think guitar hero and rock band deserve more credit for shaping last generation than what you guys are giving them.

Yeah, but that both came and went with last gen. Like motion controls.



Call of duty defines last gen overall. Not only for me but for most casual gamers.
