SNES: A Link To The Past
GC: Super Smash Bros. Melee
Gameboy Adv.: Golden Sun
Nintendo 3DS: Kingdom Hearts 3D / Fire Emblem: Awakening / Super Smash Bros. 3DS

Xbox: Halo 2
Xbox 360: Alan Wake / Halo 4 / Gears Of War 2 (didn't like the game though)

PS1: Vagrant Story / Crash Bandicoot 2
PS2: Silent Hill 2 / Final Fantasy XII / Shadow Of The Colossus

And I think there will be a lot of "wows" this gen. The Order: 1886, Uncharted 4, Quantum Break, The Legend Of Zelda U, etc...

Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.
