Since last gen is over, time for your top 10's!

I wanna play…

In no particular order. .the games i had the most fun playing during the last gen…

Uncharted 2
Bayonetta
Sonic Colors
NBA 2k12
Super Street Fighter 4
Geometry Wars 1
Tomb Raider 2013
Castle Crashers
Lumines
Okami

It’s on my list, too. I haven’t played it in a while, but thinking about it makes me want to do some runs now. :slight_smile:

Some nice lists here! I’m surprised to see the DS Castlevania games getting so much love, especially PoR (which was my favorite of the 3 but gets shit on by the CV community a lot.)

Okay…in no particular order:

Bayonetta (if Po said there was something wrong with anyone who didn’t like this, I’d likely agree with him)

Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles
Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 1
DmC (fight me, I had fun with it)
Guilty Gear AC+R
Catherine
Third Strike OE
Unreal Tournament 3
House Of The Dead 4 (not sure if this one counts or not, but I love it)
BlazBlue (Calamity Trigger or Chrono Phantasma, I can’t decide)

3SOE
Persona 3 and 4
L4D2

I think that’s pretty much everything I’ve played in the last 5 years lol.

VF5 ver.C

VF5: Final Showdown

Bayonetta

Sin and Punishment Star Successor

CoD 4: Modern Warfare

MGR

Vanquish

Bangai-O HD: Missle Fury

Catherine

Super SFIV

Cool gen and a lot of great games on all systems. I only messed with VF5 ver.C, Metal Slug 3 and Rez until a year after MW’s release, then SFIV. MS throwing $ at Treasure to re-release Guardian Heroes and Radiant Silvergun was HUGE considering the work that went into them, and I don’t own a Saturn anymore and finally got to the play the hype, which delivered. It was weird seeing Treasuer making sequels, and eventually having the main players and teams leave, since after that, they are pretty much Treasure only in name, now :frowning:

I almost stayed out of it due to recently moving at the time and THEN the bs that was the RRoD situation, PS3 launch price and the Wii not having anything (despite being a cool idea) at the time. The only reason I jumped in was because a family member gave me their 360 which wasn’t working well, but ended up lasting me two years.

Main list only consists of NEW games/sequels for that gen. Even Treasure and UGA’s re-releases went above and beyond simple HD ports, they are still HD ports from the gen proceeding it.

I didn’t count the DS since it’s a handheld, yet one of my favorites systems.

Honorable mentions:

NG2

Guardian Heroes

No More Heroes

Mad World

Radiant Silvergun

Rez HD

Modern Warfare 2

Trauma Center: Second Opinion

Tatsunoko vs Capcom

DMC4

Daytona HD

Ikaruga

Guwange

Everybody loves her

MS throwing money at all of the STG/shmup devs was the highlight of last gen for me. It was a great console resurgence for the genre. Sad the same thing happened to CAVE though, with its main players moving to M2. I do hear M2 is working on the Ubusana shmup for PS4

Still playing last gen games so I won’t cement this as my official list:

Eschatos (STG/Shmup gem of the gen. Glad to see it getting even more popularity in the STG community these last few months. Such a godlike package of three great games with modes for all levels of players. Personal #1. Honorable mention goes to Mushihimesama Futari as that is also excellent)

Call of Duty games (4/MW2/BO1 were my favorites. Hours and hours of fun with friends and tournaments)

Dark Souls (Fun and satisfying. Not as difficult as hyped before release but still very enjoyable. I took a risk and bought day 1 on the recommendation of a friend who played Demon Souls and was not disappointed.)

Vanquish (Finishing challenge 6 was even more satisfying than Dark Souls. )

Sin and Punishment 2: Star Successor (This is THE rail shooter. THE RAIL SHOOTER. Number 1 reason I’d like to see Treasure team at the time work on Star Fox over anyone else)

Wii Sports Resort (More of an honorable mention, but it was the king of party games hands down)

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Improvement of an already great game)

Megaman 9/10 (MM10 Hard mode makes the choice between the two hard but the edge probably goes to 9. Best Megaman games last gen. Honorable mention goes to Starforce 3, it took Capcom three times but they got it right with this one)

Etrian Odyssey 3 (Atlus’ best game last gen. You can just lose hours to this game. Best turn based combat with a ton of challenge)

Bayonetta (It put Platinum on the map)


Overall, there are just a ton of games from last gen that I’ve enjoyed and am still enjoying. Fantastic gen.

The director, directed Ikaruga so that’s awesome and crazy that Treasure and Cave alumni are at M2! The M2 President announced it earlier than planned, so it’ll be probably be a ways off still. Maybe TGS 2016 before we see anything on it?

Am I crazy for liking Arkham Asylum better than Arkham City?

COD MW2
COD MW3
COD BO
COD BO2
COD Ghosts

Goat series, numbers don’t lie…stay mad niggas

No, I dont think so. I mean I did like AC more overall, there is something to be said about AA’s smaller scale.

I think AA makes better use of its setting then AC did. Better story to.

Castlevania Harmony of Despair- I put some f**ked up hours in this game, all for some stupid rings
Resistance 2
Fallout 3
Shadow Complex
Metal Gear Solid 4
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Jump! Ultimate Stars
Dragon Quest 9
Ridge Racer for PS3
Mario Kart DS

Nobody fucked with Sonic Generations and Rayman?

I wanted to add them both but I tried to keep it at ten…and i feel I enjoyed Colors slightly more as far as platformers go…definitely two strong games tho…DKC Returns also
