In this new generation of consoles, it’s easy to overlook the amazing games that have graced us in the years passed. Games that have shaped the gaming industry forever could get forgotten in the rush to be acquainted with next generation hardware. These are the 5 best games that cannot be overlooked.
I like how 3/5 of these games released in the past year or so...
Anyway, I would say BioShock was more defining / had greater impact than BioShock Infinite. I would also say Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, Mass Effect, Gears of War and LittleBigPlanet had a bigger impact than Assassin's Creed 2, but I digress.
Defined as in what? I think if you're asking what games defined innovation then that to me is Gears of War- completely created the cover third person shooter genre. Uncharted- Completely invented the cinematic third person shooter. Bioshock- Completely redefined what story based games could do. Mass Effect- innovated the scifi TPS RPG story. And like the games or not Quantic Dream has to be on there cause they pioneered the QTE story based games. I don't like it but they did do it.
Halo 3?
Call of Duty Modern Warfare?
Both revolutionized mass online FPS on consoles
g1 jockey and gallop racer loved it
While it wasn't my #1 game of last gen, no title "defined" the previous generation more than COD4.
