Favorite Gaming Moments this gen
Condemned (360) - I had my 360 hooked up to a monitor in the attic, I beat Condemned in two marathon night sessions where I'd sneak off into the attic when everybody was sleeping and just stayed glued to the monitor. It was awesome, I wasn't so immersed in a game in such a long time.
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) - Like others have said, so many, many times did this game make me feel like a kid again. It had countless awesome moments.
Bioshock (360 & PC) - I had played the demo on my 360 and I got the full version on my PC. Those first few hours are so awesome. I really felt transported to another world. I got tired of the game half way through though :-(
Wii Sports (Wii) - I got the Wii on launch day and as others have said that first time where you get a bunch of your family or non-gaming friends together and you guys have a blast is the day you realize why the Wii is so successful. It's just plain fun and really does bridge the gap.
Uncharted (PS3) - When my family got a 60'' HDTV and my sisters boyfriend came over with his PS3 and we hooked it up with the HDMI cable and rented Uncharted. It looked so damn awesome. I remember going to sleep that night wondering how awesome a sci-fi or modern world would look with that engine.
Super Metroid (Wii Virtual Console) - I downloaded the game off the Wii's Virtual Console and somewhere half-way through the game I realized that this game which is over a decade old pretty much wipes the floor with any game that came out in the last couple of years. I was actually mad at myself for not getting it when it came out.
Overall the Wii has given me the most memorable moments, from it's Virtual Console memories to getting the whole family involved to making me love Nintendo from a hardcore gamer standpoint again with Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess (I had not owned a GC or N64).
