Top 5 Single Player Games Of This Generation

Vgamerz writes: "We’ve had some great single player experiences so far this gen. Not only have they immersed us into their games, they’ve made us feel like a living, breathing part of this world. It’s so easy to get lost in a great game, but we’re going to narrow it down to the top 5 single player games of this generation. These games may or may not have multiplayer components, but the single player is what shines."

[Cam977]

1. GRAND THEFT AUTO: IV
2. Uncharted: 2
3. Dark/ Demon's Souls (I CAN'T CHOOSE!)
4. MGS4
5. Heavy Rain

Any ideas, single player hasn't been a focus of this gen IMO.

[LX-General-Kaos]

1. Super Mario Galaxy
2. Xenoblade Chronicles
3. Metroid Prime 3
4. Zelda Twilight Princess
5. Lost Odyssey

There have been some pretty decent games this generation, but those are the royal experiences for me so far. Honorable mention Halo 3.

Rated E For Everyone

[Eyeco]

I think it's a little unfair that this guy got disagrees for stating his personal favourite single player games this gen, and all because none of them are PS3 exclusives.

[Blastoise]

Maybe they disagree with his choices?

[ShinMaster]

I think it's unfair that you're blaming PS3 gamers for his disagrees. It could've been PC or 360 gamers. You have no evidence, only bias.

[ShinMaster]

Predictable.

[Blankman85]

Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect 2 are my personal games of the generation.

[black911]

My top in no order
1.uncharted 2
2.infamous 2
3.Heavy Rain

[caseh]

Uncharted 2
Mass Effect
Infamous
Binary Domain
Yakuza 3

To be honest, its tough to say. that list could be mixed and matched with a ton of games.

[KentBlake]

Is Binary Domain really that good? Just today I was considering starting it tomorrow...good to know.

[caseh]

Binary Domain is my sleeping hit for this gen. Sega know how to tell a good story and its got some solid gameplay to back it up. One of the few titles where finishing the single player campaign 3 times wasn't enough, would happily pay for DLC on this if it came about but I can't see that happening.

[MWH]

Dark Cloud 3
Zone of the Enders 3
Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2
Legacy of Kain 6
Eternal Sonata 2
The Last Guardian
Bayonetta 2
Onimusha 5
DOOM 4
? Souls

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

Not sure how you got hold of those games.
They any good? =p

[MWH]

time travel, you should try it.

[mt]

I pay you 300$ to ship me the last guardian.

[MWH]

how about Call of Duty 35 instead? fantastic game, exactly the same ;- ]

[mt]

if you want to ship me call of duty 35 you have to pay me 300$ and I'll think about it.

[LightofDarkness]

For me, it's been:

Dishonoured
Skyrim
Bioshock
Xenoblade Chronicles
Red Dead Redemption

(no particular order)

Honourable Mentions:
MGS 4
Tales of Graces f
God of War 3
Star Craft 2
Witcher 2

[DestinyHeroDoomlord]

Red dead redemption goty, batman: ac goty, skyrim, fable 2, dark souls. For my mom it has to be the sims 3.

[KrystofKage]

5. Grand Theft Auto IV
4. Alan Wake
3. Mass Effect
2. Bioshock
1. Uncharted 2.

I'd say there were better, I just haven't played them. Personally, these were the games I can remember keeping me up late at night trying to find out what happens next.

[r21]

Good list, mine includes Bastion, Resistance 3, inFamous 2, KZ2 and 3, Dishonored and as the article mentions TWD :D

[Xenial]

MGS4
Skyrim
Dishonored
Red Dead Redemption
L.A. Noire

[EmperorDalek]

Mass Effect 2
Red Dead Redemption
Heavy Rain
Dark Souls
Fallout 3

My top 5.

[Phoenix76]

Red dead, mass 2, fallout 3, heavy rain and portal 2

[Walker]

Just and only Uncharted 2: Among Thieves .

[Blastoise]

Demon's souls, Dark Souls, Uncharted 1, Bioshock and I can't think of a 5th. Probably Ratchet & Clank A crack in time :)

Honourable mention to Pokemon Black on DS, Valkyria Chronicles, Disgaea 4 and Persona 3 Portable on PSP

[pandehz]

In no particular order

ME 1,2,3
The Witcher 1,2
Deus Ex:HR
Portal 1,2
Uncharted 2,3
Bioshock 1,2
AC 2
Mirrors Edge

[CrustifiedDibbs]

No order....

Alan wake
L.a. Noire
Max Payne 3
Bioshock
Fallout 3

It's hard to choose from just five games. Uncharted, read dead, or the walking dead could all slide in there somewhere most likely.

[Greyslash]

The Witcher
Dragon Age Origins
Heavy Rain
Bioshock
The Darkness

That was just off the top of my head, but I loved all of those games.

[KentBlake]

I can't make a Top 5. Too many good games out there. Let's try a TOP 10 (in no particular order):

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Uncharted 2
Mass Effect 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Gears of War 3
BioShock
Fallout 3
inFamous 2
Demon's Souls
Red Dead Redemption

Honorable mention: Heavy Rain

[Venoxn4g]

not in order:

Madworld
Bayonetta
Vanquish
Super mario gaaxy
Metroip prime 3
Batnan: arkham asyum
shadows of the damned
child of eden
bioshock

[Bladesfist]

Witcher 2
XCOM Enemy Unknown
Skyrim
Bad Company 2

[birdykilla]

Bioshock
Portal 2
Red Dead Redemption
Mass Effect
Skyrim
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Dead Premonition
Heavy Rain
Uncharted 2
Fallout 3
Dragon Age: Origins
The Walking Dead
Assassin's Creed II

This list doesn't include Wii games because I have not yet gotten one. Nor does it include PC games from this gen cause my PC was made in 2004. I plan on getting a Wii first then building my first gaming rig for under $1000. I love RTS!

[ShaunCameron]

For me it would be:

Bayonetta
God Of War III
The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Xenoblade Chronicles
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

[Hicken]

I'd have to say the inFamous games were great for me. Red Dead was good, but I enjoyed the multiplayer far more.

I've also enjoyed Lost Odyssey and Tales of Graces, as well as Fragile Dreams and The World Ends With You. Really, it's pretty hard to pin down just a handful of games with the "best" single player.

[Bimkoblerutso]

Uncharted 2
Dark Souls
Bioshock
Portal 2
Super Mario Galaxy

Hard list to make. Five games is hard to assemble from an ENTIRE generation of games. Let's just say I wouldn't feel comfortable etching that list into stone.
