    [ALL] Games of the Generation



    We're in the final month now before the next-gen consoles release. What better way to get ready for the next-generation of consoles than for VSN to share their favorite games from this console generation. Sure we still have Arkham Origins, Gran Turismo 6 and Dark Souls II as current-gen exclusives in the coming months, but the time is right to send this generation off in style here at VSN before the new consoles are in our homes (plus get the results before our podcast lol). If one of those ends up cracking a top 3 for you, you can always come back to the thread and do an update when that time comes.

    So with that said, I want you to list your top 3 games for each of these categories. If you don't want to vote for every category, just throw up your top 3 for the categories you care about. If you want, feel free to write a couple sentences with some of your picks if you have a fond memory of it or want to say something about the game in general. Not only is this a thread to see what VSN's top games are, but it's also a place to reminisce about the great times you've had with these consoles and games. If you feel compelled to give a couple categories a couple honorable mention slots, go for it.

    A final VSN top 3 list will be compiled and be discussed on the upcoming episode for VSN Arcade Radio.

        Most Overrated BioShock, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Grand Theft Auto 4

        I'll throw some thoughts in here and there later at some point. My first list was lost just at the end of it and I didn't have it in a word doc, so I had to do it all over. Not in the mood to restate those thoughts right now.

              Its hard because this gen is 8 years old. I had to look at my Xbox activity list and steam list. I cant find the PSN list on line.

                  Three years old. If you get spoiled, it's not that big of a deal. You clearly weren't dying to play it or you would have already. And he didn't give away as much as you think. It builds pretty obviously. The Last of Us one was much worse.

                  That being said, JBregz, it wouldn't have been hard for you to just say ending. The people who have played it would understand.

                    I can't access those sites at my office, so I had to go from memory. It was brutal.

                          If you really want to fix it, you'll have to edit Houston's post too. He's now the one spoiling it. :looza:
