As we are nearing the middle of the current generation, what games do you feel are the most unique so far.

Here are some to get the discussion started:

PS3: Little Big Planet -- a 2.5D platformer but with great graphics, physics and unlimited user-generated content.

Xbox 360: Viva Pinata -- a different sort of simulated society game.

Wii: Boom Blox -- a throwing and pulling exercise.

DLC: Megaman 9 -- old school, no more needed to be said.

I am Mario.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Braid gets my vote. So does Brain Age.

Tag: Became a freaking mod and a complete douche, coincidentally, at the same time.

Portal, Wii Sports, Eye of Judgement (I guess, never actually played it), flow and the upcoming flower. Probably a ton more I'm not thinking of.

spore is a good example of uniqueness. its the only game out there that lets you actually create the main character (though its for a useless purpose).

of course lbp is up there for the sheer power of its level creator.

i would say de blob is rather cute and unappreciated for its unique idea. :P

the upcoming fat princess is going to be good too.

I agree, and add Wii Sports, Wii Fit and Elebits (a refreshing FPS experience... at least to me) EDIT: How could I forgot?! Pro Evolution Soccer Wii

How can you start this list and not list Portal? I can't really think of another game that is worth mentioning in the same sentence as that masterpiece.
