SuperPhillip Central writes, "In one week the second console of the eighth generation will launch. Now that most of the noteworthy games of this past generation have already released, SuperPhillip Central would like to take the time to make mention of the top games released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii home gaming consoles. The type of game that makes our list must have one or both of these requirements: 1) It was influential, ground-breaking, or revolutionary, and 2) It was one of the best games released this generation. If for some reason you disagree with a game on this list or wish to add some of your own suggestions for games to add, please leave us a comment below."

Does this game support cross progression? I still have not beaten the first (I got sidetracked with lots of other games) and Id like to pick up where I left off through this version.
GTA V's online mode is no longer available on Steam Deck (or Linux in general) and it's causing player numbers to drop rapidly on the charts.
I could never understand why this online mode got so popular, I honestly preferred GTA IVs multiplayer…
Sony reveals three more games that PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers get to play later this year, including two PS1 classics.
The Last of Us Part 1 (Extra/Premium) - September 26
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (Premium) - TBA
Dino Crisis (Premium) - TBA
When they put old games on PS plus they usually have trophies these days. I’m hoping Blood Omen and Dino Crisis also get trophies that would be great
I think I bought blood omen on ps3 , hopefully I'll get it for free . Even if I don't I'll still buy it again .. Huge fan of the whole series , hope the remasters do well and reignites the possibility of a new game in the series . I know they just released some graphic novels so hopefully there's more going on with the series . Blood Omen 2 is kind of the weak link in the series but Defiance is definitely a must for a remaster to close out SR 1+2 story. A new Blood Omen as a topdown action rpg in modern graphics and gameplay is my dream and man that opening soul reaver music still slaps till this day
"The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword"
Really? I know it came to both gens but I would rather see Twilight Princess in their instead. SS felt like a step back for the franchise and got boring/repetitive after a while. It didn't have that charm other Zelda games did
"Rayman Origins"
Sorry but despite being a good game I wouldn't say it was a top game of this gen. Read Dead Redemption, Oblivion, Ni No Kuni, Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid 4, Borderlands, Assassins Creed 2
I could go on
I'd go with Wii Sports and Red Dead Redemption as both stand out as very unique and go into the category of UT99, BF1942, Alternate Reality, Cytron Masters, Seven Cities of Gold etc etc etc.
Most other games are just variants of titles past.
THE LAST OF US 15 minutes in, this game had me teary eyed already, that's when I knew "this is going to be something special".
When picking best games of the generation I think it's best to choose 1 genre defining game from each genre for variety.
e.g.
Open World - Red Dead Redemption
hack n' slash - God of War III
Action-RPG - Mass Effect 2
RPG - Skyrim
FPS - Bioshock
TPS - The Last of Us
Racing sim - Forza Motorsport 4
Racing arcade - PGR4
Side-scrolling platformer - LittleBigPlanet
3D platformer - Super Mario Galaxy
etc.
