Best Games of the 7th Generation

by monkeyking1969

This is a list of the highlight of gaming from the 7th Generation. There are some great games off this list, like Uncharted 1 & 3 are fantastic better than some games on that list but #2 is best. Moreover, Portal 2 is more advanced but the first one was a revelation of design and story!

So here is the list in A-Z order. Assassins Creed 4 isn't better than Wii Sports...or maybe it is, but 'A' comes before 'W'.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

I would say "the BEST of the series", more fun and just less annoying then all the others.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Batman: Arkham Asylum

They nailed this franchise on the first one, and really the concept and story work best in the enclosed space.

Burnout Paradise

Burnout Paradise

Sorry, this WAS the best driving game come come out in the last generation. Also, a model for how DLC should come out and at what pricing.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

The revolutionized the story and gameplay of a console FPS shooters. This game is still teh most grounded and dynamic. The last few games are fun pop-corn games...but the first modern warfare was the best.

Far Cry 3

Far Cry 3

I think the best Far Cry so far. Sure, a bit over the top, and the protagonist is a douche; but also a very interesting blend despite making a whole new antagonist in the second half.

Fez

Fez

A neat concept from a 'humanly flawed' genius. Proof once again great graphics don't make great games. Phil Fish is a loss to this industry, but aren't prophets are always misunderstood and burned for their 'gifts'.

Flower

Flower

A beautiful game, and yet non-typical game too. This is either the most relaxing game you will play or the most frustrating depending on your mood.

Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V

This one was better than #4. More memorable, less game stopping events and missions. Just the perfection of the concept...except for story. The online bit is worthless and those people should be set alight...but nothing is perfect.

Heavy Rain

Heavy Rain

Jason! I loved this game I think ist is a crime they never made another. As idiosyncratic as it was to control or play, it was one of the most fun mystery games I have ever played.

Journey

Journey

A smart, touching and beautiful game. The culmination of effort from a company that split apart afterward. I loved the spirit of this game, this was a game with real spirit.
