Darran, get cracking on an Ico special edition 300 page feature! I want to know Yorda's hip measurements and her opinion on chocolate Yazoo!

Anyhow:

Ico

Shadow of the Colossus

Metroid Prime

Guitar Hero

Half-Life 2

Metal Gear Solid 3

Silent Hill 2

Ninja Cop

Civilization III

Deus Ex

That ought to do it.

XBox - Outrun 2006: Coast to Coast, PGR2, Rallisport Challenge 2

GC - Paper Mario 2, Donkey Konga, Super Monkey Ball,

PS2 - Guitar Hero

Dreamcast - Skies of Arcadia, Rez, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Hydro Thunder, Soul Calibur

Arcade - World Club Championship Football (for trying something different, and appealing to the OCD in me), and I'd love to say Ghost Squad but I can't really form a proper opinion of it until I've given it a try with the IC card - and nowhere will fucking sell me one

I can't whittle it down to ten very easily! I guess you could remove Skies of Arcadia, WCCF (though it really does deserve some sort of mention) and THPS2 (a formula that's been done to death, this one was just by far the best) if you really really had to.

Ok I'll do a sensible answer...

In no order:

GTA: SA

GTA3 - This generation was the generation in which I played less newly released games than any other generation, mainly because I spent probably 3 years of it playing little except GTA.

Resident Evil 4 - Probably the only game in its league (in terms of scale) that I have played through five or six times.

KOTOR - Best ever attempt at an RPG that lets you do what you want story-wise. The same system in the sequel seemed slightly broken because they stretched it a bit far.

Wind Waker - My least favourite 3D Zelda but still one of my favourites of the generation.

Castlevania: AOS

Halo 2 - Took me a while before I "got" the whole Halo thing, but I love it now, mulitplayer or single player.

Shogun: Total War - Sequels were probably superior but I had the most fun with this one.

Surprise entry because no one else has it: Manhunt - I liked it. And I'm not even a murderer in real life or anything.

That's all really pretty boring list. I spent less time gaming than any previous generation, mainly because of having a proper job and stuff instead of being a kid/student like I was in previous generations. Also obviously I played a lot more retro games last gen than any other, because the whole emulation thing existed for the first time.

It was a very long generation wasn't it? If you take it as running from the launch of the Dreamcast to the launch of the 360. Longest generation ever? I think so.

I don't know. What about Atari VCS to Mega Drive?

It's even longer than that - if you keep counting until PS2 and GBA games stop being released then it's not even over yet (although that encroaches on this gen obviously). Anywho.

1. Metroid Prime (GC)

2. Half-Life 2 (PC)

3. Advance Wars (GBA)

4. Resident Evil 4 (GC)

5. Halo (Xbox)

6. Deus Ex (PC)

7. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GC)

8. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GC)

9. F-Zero GX (GC)

10. Super Mario Sunshine (GC)

Hon mens to Super Monkey Ball, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, all of which were very difficult to eliminate. Although not as hard as it was picking between Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. It seems weird having Twilight Princess in there at all, especially since I've never played it on GC.
