it seems the majority wanted to see lost odyssey rather than eternal sonota. I've not played either of them.

5 bucks says Gears of War, Halo 3 and Lost Odyssey are in the top 5.

I will say one thing the list does show a lot of variety, shows the 360 does have a lot of variety.

So basically your either in to FPS's = PS3 or non hardcore games the Wii. Because the 360 certainly wins in the variety department. It has the most fighting games, WRPG's, JRPG's, Sandbox games, Racing games, Hack n slash games, puzzle games and music orientated games. Also more AAA and AA in any category. Not to mention a massive FPS catalogue already.

where is tales of vesperia ?

I think the list sucks.

Eternal Sonata before Lost Odyssey - teh joke.

Nah.

IGN finished the list.

5. Grand Theft Auto IV
4. Halo 3
3. Call of Duty 4
2. Gears of War
1. Mass Effect

Yeah I was a bit shocked to see Mass Effect at #1. I really need to get around to playing that game.

Yeah Mass effect is on my list. But its behind Fable II and MK vs. DC.

Suprised they gave 4 to Halo 3.

I dunno about Gears of War. I'll admit I've only got through Act 1. I like it a lot but, damn it doesn't stand up to Bioshock IMO at all! (Single Player at any rate).

It's a very good game, and it's interesting but it isnt the greatest thing since grilled cheese.

Is the multiplayer in the game that good to justify people praising it as one of the best?

Yeah multiplayer is really good. REALLY good. It was the most played for an entire year until Halo 3 came out. It's still usually on the top ten played on Xbox Live every month. That should tell you something.
