If you could replay any this-gen game again for the first time …

As the current generation comes to a somewhat overdue close, you’re going to start seeing no small number of Top 100 lists and videos. But crowning a game with some arbitrary number in a list full of arbitrary numbers isn’t as interesting as playing, “What if?” What if we could replay some of the greatest gaming experiences of our lives again, but for the first time? Which would they be, and why?

[Relientk77]

Games within the last year:

Bioshock Infinite
Dishonored
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
The Last of Us

Past games:

Uncharted 2
Assassin's Creed II
Borderlands
Tales of Graces f
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

[Peppino7]

MGS4 definitely. with trophies woohoo

[Mounce]

I'd go with:

Nier
Lost Odyssey
God of War 3
MGS Peacewalker
Mass Effect 2

and finally. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls because replaying the whole game would bring back a hauntingly delicious experience!

[Tolkoto]

It was a pretty great generation.

[deantak]

Now if I had to come up with 10....lots more.

[Sitdown]

Such an odd question....

[FullmetalAlchemist]

CoD4 or KZ2 or Uncharted 2 for me

[MizTv]

Kz2

[Sinsarmor]

oh dear fallout 3

[Sadie2100]

Loved Fallout 3 -- but I'd never spend that amount of time on that game again. :)

[Old McGroin]

Would be a toss up between Gears 1 and Uncharted 2.

Gears 1 was the first game I played this gen that really felt a generation ahead of the PS2 gen whereas Uncharted 2 really elevated this gen to another level. Two great games.

[Jyndal]

Skyrim.
The Walking Dead.
Assassin's Creed 2
Fallout 3

That's about it.

[evercast]

Bioshock. Such an amazing game.

[Roper316]

Valkyria Chronicles, still may fave game this gen.

[Hicken]

That, and Journey, and Gravity Rush, and UC2, and KZ2.

[Heisenburger]

Well since I'm limited to just this current generation let's see....

I guess it would have to be MGS4. I was late to this generation and all I wanted was to play mgs4. I would go and look at it anytime that I was at a store. I remember after a year I used my income tax refund to purchase a ps3, and along with it MGS4.

I played it on my medium sized sd television.

That experience was very memorable for me.

But if I could open up a more broad discussion....

If I could play ANY game for the first time again it would be a toss-up between Snake Eater and Ocarina of Time.

Snake Eater broke my heart three times in about ten minutes and it was the first time that a game made me FEEL like that.

Then again I remember finally getting through that water temple in Zelda.

That showdown(s) with Ganondorf....

I remember him beating the hell out of me and me being a kid and trying everything I could think of.

Him knocking me down to the floor, and desperately breakibg open pots to find hearts..

And that moment when I did a spin attack and realized that I could knock his attacks back at him. I remember that "you are so f'ing dead" smile coming over me.

Woo video games!!

[MizTv]

The first time I played mgs4 it blew my mind away

Fallout 3.
Like one guy said already, cant imagine playing another game as much as i played that.

Demon Souls.
What a breath of fresh air that was when i played it. It was like 'this was the game ive been dying to play for years but didnt know it'.

[Edward75]

Lost Odyssey

[fsfsxii]

MGS4.
Its how i really started this gen. I remember not having any other game except for MGS4. Beat it on every god damn difficulty, and when i was ntroduced to PSN and hooked my ethernet cable to play MGO i was blown away. That was my first online experience, i'll never forget the times being Snake and the two teams trying to get me. And survival was friggin amazing, hell, MGO is the best online experience i've ever had, and its the first online game i've ever played

[badboy776]

Heavy Rain

[Megaplaynate]

Bioshock 1
Uncharted 2
Dead Space 1
Fallout 3
TES Oblivion.

[Umbasa]

Demons Souls

[AWBrawler]

Wii Sports. there was just something special about the first time i swung the wii remote to play tennis. The Wii U has yet to mimic that level of awe for me. I'm sure there will be a game that uses the gamepad in a way that makes me feel like the wii remote did.

[ForgivenZombie]

Tales of Vesparia, the Mass Effect trilogy, Dragon Age 1 & 2, Fallout 3, Uncharted series to name a few.
