Which game is the best this generation?

Which game do you feel is the overall best this generation on any of the current consoles and please write why you think that?

I have several favorite games this generation. I don't think there's a "best" game.

Batman Arkam city. And when Assassin creed one came out I was shocked by the graphics. Proably Red dead.

I hate it when I enter a thread asking for ONE answer and everyone gives multiple.

up to this point Mass effect 2, let's see how skyrim, mass effect 3 or bioshock infinite turndoubalfa

Tales of Vesperia for me.

Mass Effect 2 is the greatest game I have ever played, let alone the greatest game of this generation. It is the first game that incorporated the decisions you made in it's prequel to have effect in the current game and sometimes your desicions had disastrous consequences. Mass Effect 2 engrossed you into it's world and gave you a connection to each character and their own personal situations. The cinematics were move-like and the graphics were top notch. I could further express my appreciation for Mass Effect 1 & 2 but it would have to be a blog post :P

Fallout 3/Fallout New Vegas/Oblivion

Mass Effect 2, followed closely by the Assassin's Creed games.

For me, either Halo 1 or Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

Personally, I consider Red Dead Redemption the best game I have played this generation... so far. Still games coming out so maybe by the end of this generation my favorite will have changed.

Just one eh? "Red Dead Redemption" and now I feel dirty cuz I couldn't mention Mass Effect 2 or Bioshock or Call of Duty 2 or Dead Space or.....

Rage, Gears of War

No such thing as preferred but the ones that surprise me in a good way:

Alan wake

RDR

Borderlands

Splatterhouse

Bayonetta

Oblivion

Lost odyssey

MK9

Assassins Creed saga

Batman AA (haven't played AC yet)

Dead space

My vote would have to go with Bioshock - just for personal impact and setting the benchmark for originality (in my opinion)

COMPLETELY depends on what you're after. Story wise I would give to Heavy Rain, which has an absolutely gripping and touching story. MGS4 would be second if you played the previous games to get the full affect of what's even occurring in the game.

In terms of stunning environments, Bioshock. The list goes on.

My favorite game has been MW2 for multiplayer with God of War III for single player because I love the lore of Greek mythology.

I gotta say Mass Effect 2. Finally Bioware created the 1st game that held me in its grip from start to finish since Baldurs Gate 2. I'd rate it a 10.0, if it weren't for the planet scanning timesink,

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

Not done Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception yet, but so far it is just as good.

Runner ups are Red Dead Redemption, GTA4, Bioshock, inFamous, Fallout: New Vegas, and I'm sure there are a few more great games I'm over looking.

Either fallout 3 or new vegas because of the great stories and the large amount of gameplay and replay value they have.

Mortal Kombat, GTA 4 and add on packs, Halo Reach.

You'e going to get a TON of different answers. But in my opinion? Gears of War 3. It has a solid campaign, fantastic multi player, and the best co-op options currently available. It's an complete game. ACx7

skyrim, callin it now

havent looked forward to a game this much since fallout 3 ( take into account fallout 2s interplay pretty much died and the thought of ever seeing another fallout was dim, let alone being made by the elder scroll's creators)

other than that, cod4

Fallout 3 or New Vegas for the gameplay and content amount.

Deadly Premonition for the best and most original story ever in a video game.

From the games i have played, yes. The story is open to interpretations and and it is very well-developed.

Mafia 2 is my favorite this gen.

Not having played that many games of this generation I must say the Assassin's Creed saga has so far kept me playing and interested for the longest time.

the witcher 2...i know xbox gamers dont have it yet, but its fantastic

There are so many, but if i were to choose one based on environment, it would be Fallout 3.

Even though I don't like to say this, but I'd have to go with the COD series, going back to COD4. They've broke record sales, their campaign, short, but still is pretty decent. They have different styles of co-op modes, and they have a multiplayer that keeps gamers involved for good while, not me though. I'm not a fan of COD, so this definitely isn't a fanboy remark either. (Hopefully I don't get busted too bad for this :D)

My personal favorite this generation has been the Assassin's Creed series. They have a great story that's kept me wanting more, and now they have multiplayer which adds so much more replayability. It's definitely a great game series.

Batman Arkham City and Mass Effect 2

ME1, but i have a feeling Skyrim will take the crown.

Mafia 2 is my favorite this gen.

That was a pretty tight game.
