Because I can't come up with 5 definitive ones, here's my choices for consoles. I haven't really thought about handheld games yet.

Disc-based:
1. LittleBigPlanet
2. Burnout Paradise
3. Metal Gear Solid 4
4. No More Heroes
5. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Fallout 3 may get a spot on there. I need to play it more.

Downloadable:
1. Bionic Commando Rearmed
2. Super Stardust HD
3. Mega Man 9
4. PixelJunk Eden
5. Everyday Shooter

This has got to be one of the best eras in gaming. There's so much reinvention and innovation going on right now, it's ridiculous.

It's funny how you say that while many others here think the exact opposite.

I've always found that most gamers have two or three main time-frames that they believe are the best gaming. One is the special time you spent as a kid with your first system or systems and the second is when you've gained your independence so you've got disposable income to buy many games that catch you eye. The third where it applies, is the time you spend with your kids where generations come together to game for the first time.

I'm finding certain genres are the best ever in this generation like racing and RPGs, but overall there is a cold Hollywood/businesslike feeling to these latest systems and few truly classic timeless games released.

For me it'd have to be

1. Metal Gear Solid 4, just cuz...
2. Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, gorgeous to look at and huge weapons. Do you need more?
3. Mario Kart Wii
4. 1942: Joint Strike, I loves me a shmup
5. Nothing else has made it to the list yet. Ask me tomorrow when I've got Tomb Raider Underworld

I was wondering when somebody was going to list that game.

I'd love it if I had a PS3, I've always loved the PS2 era 3D Platformers and ToD has just the same feeling. Guess most people aren't into platformers anymore.

Imo, platformers are somewhat of a dying breed. With all that is available in the form of rhythm games, rpgs, shooters, action/adventure, etc. the appeal of the platformer has waned considerably. Those who are still into this genre are likely to be more inclined to put the time into them and get more enjoyment out of them.

If you like platformers and have XBL, check out Braid. It's an excellent throwback to 2D platforming, with excellent graphics, music, art style, and gameplay.

Couldn't agree more, I feel certain genres almost need the power of todays systems (example: Sim style Racing Games, Flight Sims) but overall there is an almost complete lack of anything truly innovative in the more senior genres. Graphics and hype are what its all about today not innovation, or originality.

Certainly feels that way doesn't it?
