Top 5 Games This Gen That Will Be CLASSICS.

Every generation has its classics, in the '90 there was the Ocarina of Time, Mario64, Planescape Torment, Starcraft, and Metal Gear Solid. From 2000-2005 there was Halo 2, Resident Evil 4, Half Life 2, KOTR, and God of War. So What games will we remember as this generations classics?

I will start by saying(in no order)

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (extremely fun gameplay that reminded us why we play games in the first place)

2. Metal Gear Solid 4 (concluded the epic MGS franchise with a bang, and amazing plot)

3. Uncharted 2 (pushed new boundaries for console graphics while maintaining an enjoyable storyline and fun gameplay mechanics)

4. Demon Souls (Extremely difficult for a generation of ridiculously easy games, yet so so satisfying and entertaining)

5. Bioshock (Gorgeous art style and showed the FPS genre that you CAN make a shooter with a solid storyline with epic twists)

The Mass Effect series, Uncharted Series, and several others.

No to demon's souls. and MGS4 was pretty lame. L4D will be a classic

ME2,SMG2,UC2,RDR,5th something of those(Reach,Crysis 2,next GTA,GOW III...)

I think SMG2 was great but not groundbreaking like the original. Though I'm all for games like Demon's Souls, I disagree that it will be a Top 5 classic.

It's a little too early to call a Top 5 list though. I still await BF3 to come around and make that list. :P

How's micrsoft bill?

In no particular order...

-Metal Gear Solid 4

-Super Mario Galaxy 2

-Mass Effect 2

-Uncharted 2

-Grand Theft Auto 4

I would give an explanation for each, but in short, each of these games was: heavily hyped; highly critically acclaimed and widely discussed, characteristics which are common among legendary games. SMG2 perhaps less so than the others, but I am unofficially combining SMG1 and SMG2 together here.

-Portal

-Borderlands

-Mass Effect Series

-Bioshock

-Braid

(No order)

SMG, mass effect, BF3, wii sports, and portal

SMG series

ME series

Reach

MGS4

Random order, personally, probably

Super Mario Galaxy
Team Fortress 2
Zelda wii (complete guess but i hope it so so much)
Diablo 3
L4D



But for SW, i suppose none of those games will be played enough to be considered cIassics, or are nintendo titles which get hated so much that they can't really achieve cIassic status >_>

Street Fighter 4, Left 4 Dead, and Halo 3 will be the classic of this gen.

I guess you can also count Modern Warfare 2, Megaman 9 is already a freakin' classic.

and Super Mario Galaxy and Wii Sports.

Imo, many games were incredible this generation but these game pop out the most so far.

5. Uncharted 2

4. Metal Gear Solid 4

3. Mass Effect 2

2. Red Dead Redemption

1. Super Mario Galaxy

.. Why Galaxy 1 or 2? Because of the initial reaction.:P

I loved Penumbra, unpraised but brilliant.

ALAN WAKE

HALO 3

MGS4

TEAM FORTRESS2

Company of Heroes- The best RTS. Ever. Full stop.

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl- Bleak, atmospheric and just the right blend of open-ended and linear gameplay. The only game that has ever made me choose the "flight" in "fight or flight".

Mass Effect 2- Unfortunately the story seems worse than it really is due to BioWare/EA spoiling virtually every single plot twist in previews/trailers, but still the gold standard for voice-acting and characters.

Sins of a Solar Empire- The first "RT4X" has the perfect blend of accessibility and depth (especially with its two micro-expansions), and the sense of scale is incredible.

World of Goo- Solid puzzles, but more importantly the quirky writing and art style are brilliant, and The Sign Painter is one of, if not the best character this gen.

MGS4 will be a classic on how to ruin a franchise

OPs list is a victim of hype. He obviously just based them off their payed off scores.

My top 10 are: (no order, but LBP is my favorite this gen)

• Uncharted 2
• Braid
• LittleBigPlanet
• Metal Gear Solid 4
• Super Mario Galaxy 2
• Bioshock
• Crysis
• Killzone 2
• Mass Effect 2
  
• Demon's Souls

The ones in red will be clasics for me :)

Only huge games, with huge variety in locations and gameplay could ever claim such title, like Zelda or complex deep RPGs

So, my list

1. Fable 3 (the most innovative action adventure RPG, become king, rule and change kingdoms, gather followers, garrison castled cities and of course adventure in a huge varied world, with some of the best art, and a stunning overworld map far before FF13vs and which FF13 did not deliver)

2. Mass Effect series (The best sci-fi RPG ever created easilly, enough said, complex battle with biotics and gun fighting and a team)

3. Two worlds 2 (the biggest open RPG world, great visuals, huge variety, sailing the open seas etc)

4. Demon Soul (amazing WRPG, a little too hard on the gamer, but ver challenging and great art / atmosphere, great bosses), Dragon Age and Risen

5. Alan Wake or Zelda Wii (if it is nothing like Zelda TP, and more likeWW or OOT, could be one of the best, i did not like TP though, so this is here just because of OOT, WW and MM)

Crysis, Company of Heroes, Starcraft 2 and D3.

That's all I got... I don't really think consoles have any classics yet, however games like RDR and ME2 will be remembered.

Mass Effect, Uncharted, Gears of war, Mario Galaxy and probably red dead redemption
