Your top 3 games/franchises of this generation

I've enjoyed this generation of games so far.. not sure if i'm ready for next gen but thats for a different topic. What are everyone's top 3? mine would have to be 1) Mass Effect

2) Borderlands

3)Dead Space

Fallout misses out simply because the franchise didnt begin with fallout 3. Still love those games though.

I have a feeling you won't get a massive degree of disagreement here but:

1) Gears Of War

2) ME

3) Assassins Creed

Halo of course, Elder Scrolls, Assassin's Creed.

Gears of War 3

Borderlands 2

SOon to be Halo 4 (I can already see it)

Assassins Creed 2

Portal

Dark Souls

Top 3 Franchises:

On 360? Gears, Assassins Creed, Batman Arkham. Of the whole gen? AC, Uncharted, Gears. I also really enjoy Saints Row, such an awesome series. Still have yet to play a Mass Effect game, though ME2 is in my backlog.

For Xbox 360. The top 3 franchises are the Halo series Thus far on Xbox 360/Xbox 360 S has seen Halo 3, Halo Reach, Halo ODST Halo wars, Halo anniversary, Halo 4. That is 6 installments of Microsoft's flagship series.

Second place goes to Gears of War series. Gears of War 1,2,3 plus the upcoming Gears of War Judgement.

Third place is The Forza Series Even though this series is a driving sim. It is popular with Forza 2,3,and 4

I tried to stick with Xbox 360 only series. Even though other great games for Xbox 360 like Mass Effect Series are available for PS3, PC, Wii U

Microsoft only series which has helped Xbox 360 this generation.
