What do you think is the first game for each system that will show it's true power?. And I dont mean the game with the best graphics. Obviously that will be at the end of each lifespan. I mean the game that shows off what the console really can do, and what is to come. I guess it could be argued Gears did that for the 360, so not including Gears. For me:

360: Mass Effect
Wii: Super Mario Galaxy
PS3: ehh, I dont really keep up with PS3 games so I wouldn't know.

No game has shown the true power of any system, each system has a long way to grow.

PS3 - tie for me between motorstorm, Heavenly sowrd, and lair 360 - Blue dragon. seriously, it looks beautiful, i just hope they up the difficulty and improve the achivements, becasue from the import revues, it only blemishes are that it is ridiculously easy, and the achievements are stupid. Wii- Metroid prime 3

The 360 will have been out for almost 2 years by the time Mass Effect comes out.  I don't see why the PS3 and Wii have to produce a game that meets their full potential in a year.

I think SSMB or Super Mario Galaxy will be the best Wii games for a while but not forever.

360 - aside from Gears which already looked amazing, i have to say Mass Effect
PS3 - possibly Lair, but most likely Final Fantasy XIII
Wii - Super Mario Galaxy

I think MP3 will be better than both SMG and smash bros.

I think Oblivion was the first 360 game that made everyone drop their jaws and go "wow." But PS3 and Wii have yet to get a game like that.

blue dragon is a beautiful game but it is not the most graphically impressive game on the 360 by any means. the art direction is stale imo, akira toryama needs to reinvent himself next game he works on because i love his forbidden>

Gears of War was a good indication of the power of the 360 but im still convinced there is more untapped power. The ps3 isnt even close to its full potential, its kind of disappointing right now, but when it fulfills its potential it will be amazing.

MP3 looks pretty good right now, but it's been a *long* time since we've seen new screenshots. Didn't Retro say they were going to give it a makeover? As of right now... Wii: Super Mario Galaxy 360: Mass Effect PS3: MGS4

PS3 : MGS4...this game will blow you away graphically, in the audio department, and when has Kojima ever failed to give you good gameplay? I think this will show you some cool ways for six axis gameplay. And depth wise, just the size of the game will be amazing, the game will be awesome. 360 : Well not including gears? The next big one is Halo3, but we all are expecting from that, unless Bungie has some tricks, other than that, I really think Bioshock or Alan Wake will give us a run for our money. Wii : It's really too early to tell, just look at the system. One look at its offerings and you know that there is some guy, somewhere, who has this incredibly idea, that will blow us all away. And all we can do is wait.

360- probably mass effect, but i think Halo 3 will look great also when its finally finished Wii- Metroid Prime 3 will be the best looking game for the wii when it comes out this year. PS3- Metal Gear Solid 4 man that game is gonna be awesome.

If your talking about games also released then my list goes like this.

X360: GRAW was really the game that screamed next-gen to me, everything from the graphics/effects to the AI.

PS3: R:FOM one of the best looking games ever released and the enemies are hell of smart and the weapons in are next-gen.

Games not released yet that I think will show the true power.

X360: Mass Effect is a insane looking game from every aspect from the gameplay to the graphics everything looks to be great.

PS3: This is a toss up between MGS4 and FFXIII both are amazing looking games, FFXIII too little info to go off of but hey its Final Fantasy. MGS4 the videos look insane everything from the graphics to the gameplay to the AI looks great.

I don't own a Wii so can't speak on that but no HD = No buy I am not buying a new console for old tech and its crazy that it don't support HD when by the end of this most analysis think over 50% of USA will have a HDTV in their household with the price drops. Hell my 37HDTV I bought in august for 1100$ is now 599$ with prices like that its hard to see people not picking up a HDTV.

360:  Mass Effect..  this game looks great and looks to be absolutely HUGE...

Wii:  Super Mario Galaxy..  i wanted to say Metroid but SMG looks to make better use of the Wiimote..

Last last preview, about 6 weeks ago, said it looked much beter than the stuff we saw last year. Eeither they were showing bad screens/vids or it has had a makeover.

This one is pretty tough. I woul have to say the following:

360-If Gears of War didn't do it, I'm giving it to Bioshock just because it looks amazing and is going to be a blast to play.
PS3- More than likely MGS4, if not that then Heavenly Sword should be able to do it.
Wii- I'm going with Metroid Prime 3. Defenitly the new grappling hook sysytem holds a lot of promise.

agreed with everything but the wii comments
I don't have a Wii for other reasons...

I thought this topic was about what was the FIRST game to scream next-gen ... Oblivion and GRAW / R:FOM came out well before GEARS/ MGS4

HD Tv's are still priced like they are made of gold over here.

That's why my 360 will be getting hoocked up to my 19' LCD VGA monitor.

None of them right now. Each system has a LONG way to go before they reach their peak. But of the last gen systems:

PS2-Right now, looks like God of War 2 since it's pracitcally that last game on the system anyway.

GC-Resident Evil 4 or Metroid Prime 2. Both show off what the GC's got.

Xbox-Ninja Gaiden. I don't play that many Xbox game, but out of them, Ninja Gaiden looked the best.
