I'm not sure, so I'll let you decide. I have it down to my four choices, but I'll toss in the option of over so you can add your thoughts.

My Rules:

1. Must be on the consoles!!! ( NOT excluding PC, but my games are at least on consoles and not PC exclusive, b/c I don't game on one haha)

2. Must be new to this Gen, including characters. (i.e. Galaxy doesn't count, even though it's awesome)

aaaannnnndddd GO!

Dead Space.

I'd say Assassins Creed but they milked it to hell to the point that I don't enjoy it anymore. Also the story is stupid.

Heavy Rain

Lost Odyssey

Risen

Left4Dead

Mass Effect

Those would be my fav new series that have versions on console (though Risen is much better on PC).

The Witcher2 im tempted to put on the list to, as its coming out for xbox360 in 2012 which is still current gen for consoles. Its fantastic on PC and actually ahndled very well when I tried a 360 controller with it.

Assassin's Creed for me, followed very closely by Portal.

By the way, those are good picks for the poll. Probably the ones that'll be mentioned the most.

I'm going to go with Mass Effect. I realize the gameplay and level design is crap and the story in 1 isn't that special and 2 is awful, but they're like guilty pleasuers for me :P

Easily Mass Effect though really only the first game. The second game was too action orientated in comparison to the first

I'm going to have to say Mass Effect because it is a good mix of storytelling and gameplay as well as exploration. The other series are too derivative. Assassins Creed was fun until they decided to COD-ize it in which a sequel is released every year with the same repetitive gameplay and bad story. Dead Space is pretty fun too. Need I mention Borderlands?:P

Does Super Mario Galaxy count as a new series? If so, then that one.

The Witcher is also a great choice.

Gears series: Haven't played

Mass Effect series: Horrible series

Assassin's Creed series: Horrible series

=======> Yes obviously Uncharted is the best series this gen. I'd like to add Demon's Souls but that's only one game.

And Portal is that new for this gen or last gen?

Uncharted defines this generation. I am a fan of the Mass Effect world, but Uncharted is the better put together project.

He's obviously some kind of mathematical genius to know that 90% of people are idiots, so you can't argue with him.

Well according to basic physics 90% of people are idiots. So that means you are most likely an idiot and doesn't have the judgement to determine who is an idiot and who is not. And Mass Effect 2 got 9 points out of 10. That's 90%. Coincidence?

I've only played the first Mass Effect, and the shooting mechanics were definitely the weakest part of the game. However it has other great merits that make it stand out.

Well I only played the second. And it's not only that. I think it got really boring characters and locations for the most part. And this is a game in SPACE! How can the environment be so repetitive? And the choices hardly matter. It's like one time I had the choice to shoot someone or not. I choose not shoot him and then he gets like a grand piano in his head or something. It's so linear in level design and story.

So it only got 4 better than a crap game?? That says everything you need to know about mass effect 2. 4 percentage points more than crap.
