For me it's Metal Gear Solid 4, so many memorable moments just in one play-through

Followed closely by Heavy Rain...

It's between Crysis, Uncharted 2 and Gears of War for me.

followed closely by Uncharted 2. But Uncharted 2 is still the better game.

Metal Gear Solid 4. Anyone who's played it knows what an amazing experience it is. Seeing the Solid Snake saga end after 20 years of storytelling was something spectacular.

Tentative: Fallout: New Vegas (not finished), Super Mario Galaxy 2 (not bought) and The Darkness (barely started).

Best ending ever, very emotional. BB comes up with some really memorable lines.

Since I only play single-player games I can't name just one so:

Uncharted 1&2, ME1&2, Bioshock 1&2, HL2:E1&2, Portal, The Darkness, NG2, Bayonetta and Dead Space are a few that stuck out for me.

So you agree it had a terrible story, and that no other game has a story so terrible. Alright then, I can work with that.

Mass Effect 2 was terrible. The story made no sense, it was all a big mess.

I would like to say MGS4 because up until May of this year it was definitely the front runner for my favourite current gen experience beating out tough competition from Batman, GOW3 and Uncharted 2. But unfortunately the most unlikely of game beat it out to reach the top spot, yeah I am talking about DEMON'S SOULS. Oh man this game does not mess about, it's very easy to hate on but play long enough and you begin to see why it's such a rewarding and addictive experience. Hats off to From Software and Sony for creating a title that brilliantly recreates that feeling of playing 8bit/16bit titles realised in a 3D world in the current gen.

You sir have have amazing taste. Demon's Souls and MGS4 FTW! The only reason I didn't mention Demon's Souls is because it's not quite as good when you're playing offline. Online it's nothing short of godly.
