Best Games of Last-Gen!
So we have a thread about the best games to come out in the year 2006, but what about the best games to come out in the last generation of consoles? Many of us have already moved on into the Now-Gen with a 360, Wii, or in rare cases PS3. So how about it, guys? What are your favourite games to come from the PS2, Gamecube and Xbox? Maybe cap it off with what you thought was your console of the generation, as well as what your overall favourite game might have been! Here are my favourites:
PS2 God of War Shadow of the Colossus ICO Guitar Hero Okami Maximo Xbox Halo 2 Conker: Live and Reloaded Knights of the Old Republic Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords The Elders Scrolls III: Morrowind Pirates! Gamecube Super Mario Sunshine LoZ: The Wind Waker Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Super Smash Bros. Melee Animal Crossing Multi-Platform NHL2k3 Baulder's Gate: Dark Alliance Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Star Wars Battlefront II Ultimate Spider-Man Rayman 2 As for the console that really did it for me last gen, I couldn't real pick a clear winner, but if I did pick one, it would probably be Xbox. Simply because I played all my third-party games on it, and the third-party stuff was really amazing last generation. In terms of first-party exclusives, Gamecube is obviously the solid choice, but the PS2 had some stuff that actually caught my eye late in it's life. GoW and SotC are two of my favourite games of last-gen. Picking a favourite game of last-gen is next to impossible, but if I had to choose it would probably either be Morrowind, The Wind Waker, Paper Mario, God of War or Halo 2. I don't know which of those I'd pick, though. So, how about everyone else? Let's get this ball rolling! |

I'll have to take a harder look at the games I have to pick from before I can start naming names.

These are my choices. Like them or not, they stand.
The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker (One of the most beautiful, colorful, lively, immersive, and all around perfect games ever made) Super Mario Sunshine (Its no Super Mario 64....Hell, its no SMB2, but its still a terrific platformer) Star Fox Adventures (yeah, I enjoyed it. Sue me.) F-Zero GX (most people hate it. "OMG it too hard" I love it, and consider it the greatest and most hardcore racer ever made) Metroid Prime (a game that went from my most feared, to my top five list. Game of the generation) Metroid Prime 2 Echoes (kind of bland looking compared to the original, but still a damned fine ride) Kirby's Air Ride (one of the most unappreciated party titles ever created. Get four people together and see how much fun it can be) Super Smash Bros. Melee (the greatest party game ever? Yeah, for about 11 more months) Animal Crossing (it started as a underground cult game...not even a sleeper. Now, it's a worldwide phenomena) Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (it looks stupid, and spits in DKC's face, but its still damned faun) Star Wars Rouge Leader (one of the greatest flight action combat games ever, and made you proud to own a GameCube....for about ten minutes) Luigi's Mansion (underrated, unappreciated, and due for a Wii-mote enhanced sequel) Mario Kart Double Dash (compared to MK64? ****. Compared to everything else? Awesome) ![]() GBA: Wario Ware Mega Microgames (my favorite portable game, ever) Wario Land 4 (one of the greatest platformers I've ever played; from Intelligent Systems) Sonic Advance (the final Sonic game to kick ass, and kick it hard) Metroid Fusion (the single most atmospheric GBA game. Being hunted rules, and talking with Adam brought a sense of companionship. Brilliant game.) Metroid Zero Mission (something everyone should experience) Wario Ware Twisted (not a ****ed up as the original, but still hysterical) Gunstar Super Heroes (another masterpiece from Treasure: the GBA's swan song) Astro Boy: Omega Factor (licensed game, but a damned fine one from Treasure) Dr. Mario/Puzzle League (Tetris-fu*king Attack...moving on) Zelda: The Minish Cap (a throughly original Zelda that starts the timeline. 2D masterpiece) Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga (a game that is funnier than Paper Mario. The true successor to Super Mario RPG, from the same team) ![]()

I didn't own a PS2 at that time, or an Xbox, so I don't feel I'm qualified to offer a fully credible opinion on either platform's best.

The game does zero hand holding, which is why people who've grown up on this generation of games have a hard time handling it. |

Okay, I'm finally here with my list, with no particular order. I may leave a lot out, because I traded in a lot of games and may forget.
Playstation 2 God of War Suikoden III Kingdom Hearts Kingdom Hearts II (Didn't get to play yet. Thanks, Peanut.) Shadow of the Colossus Metal Gear Solid 2 (Cinema) Metal Gear Solid 3 (Cinema) Final Fantasy X Xenosaga Episodes I-III (Cinema) Okami (Again, didn't play, but I'll take Peanut's word for it.) Guitar Hero Xbox Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball (Horray for being a pervert.) Halo Halo 2 Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Gamecube Super Smash Bros. Melee Super Mario Sunshine Paper Mario 2: The Thousand Year Door Metroid Prime Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Animal Crossing The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Tales of Symphonia Killer 7 Mario Kart: Double Dash Resident Evil 4 Resident Evil REmake Resident Evil 0 I'm sure I left a lot out, but oh well. Those were the big hitters that instantly came to mind. |

Previous games? Somewhat. On the scale of Morrowind? No. Oblivion is different as well. Everything is clearly pointed out to you. For example, in Morrowind one of the early missions in the main quest requests that you head to a Dwemer ruin and retrieve a specific Dwemer artifact from it. You're given a general direction in which to go to find this ruin, then once inside, you need to search the entirety of it to find something that looks like a tiny box, no bigger than a fist. You have no indication of what the item looks like, or where in the ruins it might be found.
Oblivion on the other hand, has an objective arrow that leads you to every single thing you need to find. It's much more n00b friendly, and has a much more pick-up and play mentality to it. |
