I can't think of then off the top of my head, but Vanquish, Bayonetta, Darksiders, and BuletStorm all deserve a hell of a mention!

And let us hope that half the games mentioned never get any sort of sequel, and remain the unique one-offs that they are.

AceCard Jones

Left 4 Dead

Borderlands

Gears of War

DragonAge

Mass Effect

Saint's Row

Batman Arkham Series

Darksiders

BioShock

Dead Island

I assume the rules of this thread is the first in the series had to be this gen? So Fable or Fallout or Sonic Generations wouldn't be allowed?

Honorable mention goes to the Lego Series, mainly Potter and Indiana Jones.

I know technically it's new IP, but Batman is hardly an original concept... good and all as the games are.

Heavy Rain surely?

Interesting idea, poor writing unfortunately, which is kind of relied on.

Plus its practically the same gameplay wise as Farenheit (I know its the same developer) , which came out on the original Xbox

Batman himself, certainly not. But the game is very different to most out there and is implemented really well. I'd call it a new IP.

Mass Effect. Any top 10 list which is not based on personal opinion would have this as number 1. No ip listed above comes close to this series.

I didn't number them from favourite to least, many games just aren't comparable as they are either too different or appeal in different ways. However I do agree that the ME series is awesome!

Conversely, while Fallout 3 is not technically a new IP, it's so different from the previous games it could be considered one. Same goes for Red Dead Redemption. I guess some examples just aren't clear-cut.

For me, I think Arkham, along with Bioshock, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Portal are all up there. And Angry Birds :pac:.

Confession: I've never played a Mass Effect game! I have the first one and all...

well i said the arkham games cause movie license games shouldnt count should they ? if they do then i withdraw arkham series :pac:

It counts because it's a new use of the license - just like Nolan's Batman is a new film franchise because it doesn't tie-in with previous Batfilms. Though an attempt to absorb everything from Adam West through George Clooney up to Christian Bale into a single, continuous canon would be kinda interesting...

Ah now, Mass Effect might make the top ten, but there's no way it could be considered as the best this generation has come up with.

It was good alright, but not mind blowing and it feels like every other Bioware RPG except in space.

I'd have Shadow Complex as one of my top 10, of all the games I downloaded from XBL it is my favourite.

It's amazing, I find myself disagreeing with nearly everything you say.

Retr0gamer

Grand, you're entitled to your opinion as well.

tens of games! I will pass..

Grimebox

I can no longer consider myself a hardcore gamer since Portal, Left 4 Dead and Mass Effect are the only games I've played amongst all these lists. I didn't even finish Mass Effect

Orim

Lots of good games mentioned but no mention of Bastion? For shame.

sarumite

Could be considered cheating, but I am going to include Professor layton on the DS. It was first release in 2007.
