Funny, first time I've ever seen a jab like that directed at the PS3 as opposed to the 360...

I'm just going to go current gen:

Wii:
1. Madworld
2. No More Heroes
3. Super Mario Galaxy

X360:
1. Halo 3 (not because of its quality as a game, its just the pinnacle of slightly-above-average that makes it so playable and enjoyable that anyone universally can pick it up, whenever.)
2. Gears Of War 2
3. Mass Effect

PS3:
1. Killzone 2
2. inFamous
3. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

-A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS-
N64 (because suddenly I feel like it):
1. Star Wars Episode 1 Racer
2. GoldenEye
3. Banjo Tooie

[Onslaught_fei]

Rock Band 2

[SteveoKnievo]

NES
1. Mario Bros.
I can't think of any others cause I was six years old when I was playing NES.

SNES
1. Donkey Kong Country
2. Mortal Kombat 3
3. Kirby Superstar

N64
1. Legend of Zelda: Orcarina of Time
2. Goldeneye
3. Super Smash Bros

PS2
1. Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal
2. God of War II
3. Grand Theft Auto III

XBOX
1. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic <---Maybe my favorite game ever
2. Fable
3. Halo

XBOX 360
1. Mass Effect
2. Gears of War 2
3. Fable II

[hawkofva]

1. Star Wars Episode 1 Racer
I loved the Oovo IV tracks. I raced with Teemto Pangalies myself, though I also dabbled with Skywalker and Neva Kee (that backwards pod of his was pretty cool).

Apparently there was a better version of it on the Dreamcast, as well as a sequel on the PS2.

NES -
Super Mario Bros 3
Mike Tyson's Punch Out

[HeyRiles]

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - Best Zelda Game

Yes


Twilight Princess is not a Wii game. It is a GC game ported to Wii.

That's like saying Rock Band is not a Wii game. It is a 360 game ported to the Wii (meaning, if there's a disc for that specific console, then it's that console's game. Yes, that means that Pikmin is also a Wii game now)

It isn't a Wii game. Neither is Pikmin. Pikmin and TP are Gamecube games with Wii controls. RB is a (bad) Wii port. There is nothing next-gen about Pikmin or TP. They are ports. Period. When your entire development was on one system and you were quickly shoved onto another, you are still a GameCube game, in this case.

[MooTrain]

You aren't here to get a recommendation to get Rock Band, and this is clearly a recommendation thread, so I'll leave it off.

I'm also only going to do 360 games.

1. Castle Crashers (One of the most brilliant xbox games happens to be an xbl arcade game. The music is awesome, with innovative level and character design, and it's just pure button mashing fun)
2. Peggle (Simple. Addictive. Fun)
3. Dead Rising (starts off really slow and quite mediocre but gets really good the longer you play)

[HeIsEdrid]

So a PC emulator of an SNES game is a PC game? If you really think this way, then I concede and agree to disagree.

That depends, is the PC emulator legally licensed and released on a disc as a PC game?

[OrdealByFire]

I don't get the point of these threads. Nobody is going to read all of everyones favorites.

[HeIsEdrid]

For argument's sake, let's say yes.

It's still an SNES title PORTED to PC.

TP is a GC original PORTED to Wii.
Rock Band is a multiplatform original PORTED to Wii.

Rock Band 2 is a multiplatform game FOR the Wii.

Ninja Gaiden on the Virtual Console is an NES game, not a Wii game. Do you disagree with this?

IMHO doesnt look like a recommendation thread, just a guy who wants to know other people's opinions on games

only own a ps3 and a computer, had a ps1 but dont remember much games aside from rampage and ffantasy games.

PS3:
Rock Band
NBA 2k9(almost spent equal time with this game just with my brother playing offline, about 250 hours. Never played online, awesome game!)
inFamous

but that inFamous is a half-hearted one, my other games dont even come close to RB and 2k9.

[Explosion2]

Rock Band 2

/thread. :D

Ninja Gaiden on the Virtual Console is an NES game, not a Wii game. Do you disagree with this?

The difference is the license to the disc

Yes, Pikmin is a Wii game because it has been licensed by Nintendo and released as a disc for the Wii console

No, Ninja Gaiden is not a Wii game because, even though it has been licensed as a Wii game, it has not been distributed in disc form, thereby saving money and becoming a true port

Yes, Rock Band is a Wii game because it has been licensed by Nintendo and released as a disc for the Wii console

No, a PC emulator of a SNES game is not a PC game because it is not legally licensed as a game for the PC (unless of course, it is legally licensed and released as a disc to play on the computer, in which case yes, it is a PC game)
