Hmmm. Ten games of this generation. It's soo hard to choose...
1. Pain. This for me was like the ultimate game. And cheap as all get out unless you bought all the extra content (which I did
) A great party game but also good for breaking things down or creatively solving objectives. This game alone made the $500 for the ps3 worth it.
2. MK9. What's there to say that hasn't already been said?
3. Metal Gear Solid 4. Epic storytelling yet again with amazing graphics and characters that seemed real. Not to mention that one easter egg where you could get one of the BBs to hump you to death. Literally...
4. Disgaea 3. Cute but adult humor and a very deep strategy make for a must play in my book. I have never played a game where I actually looked forward to running around and talking to the npcs.
5. Bayonetta. A highly overlooked title in my opinion due to the sexuality of the main character. A little limited on weapon choice but that could be mitigated by equipping different weapons to hands and feet. Combat never feels repetitive and the mobs get difficult but not frustratingly so. This is what Devil May Cry should have been.
6. Lollipop Chainsaw. I
know I'm gonna get lynched for this but I think this is an amazingly well-built game. Not perfect by any means I agree, but even casual fan of action games should give this one a chance.
7. LittleBigPlanet series. A solid and challenging platformer with oodles of customizeable options. Not to mention the ability to create a whole level or game yourself within the game and the community that goes with it.
8. Lego Star Wars. I guess I have to give a nod to the Lego series even though This is the only one I have played. In spite of the fact I was looking at overly colourful blocks, I really felt like I was living the movies while playing this game. I can only assume that they took the same care and dedication with their other licenses.
9. Hot Shots Golf series. Cute and cartoony graphics hide a deceptively deep game. Just as challenging as the Tiger Woods series but a little more accessible for my tastes.
10. Final Fantasy XIV. Square/Enix is doing amazing things with the game right now and there is only more to come. Definitely the MMO to keep an eye on if you aren't already playing it.
Honourable Mention:
Sports Champions. The Move just didn't take off for whatever reason but I liked these sports games. They are fun and challenging (and sometimes frustrating) But still chock full of good times and exercises
