A good idea.GOTG was Demons Souls for me. Nothing really grabbed me the way that game did last gen. 2nd place would be TLOU. 3rd place probably Red Dead Redemption.
We could do categories!
Most Influential GOTG - Modern Warfare
Best Graphics of the Generation - Crysis ( we including PC? Nah prob not ). So Beyond Two Souls
Most Overlooked GOTG - Folklore
Most Disappointing GOTG - Final Fantasy 13
Shit like that.
Before we get into more advance things, I think we should decide exactly what games should be entered.
I don't think it should done based on dates (with the exception of on PC, where it's unavoidable). I don't think the 3DS and Vita should be included, as I don't think the first couple of years of DS or PSP should be excluded. I'd rather just keep it to the pure platforms, as I don't want people to have to do research on release dates and things. Just look on their shelves, if they think Ouendan is the best DS game, vote for it, or whatever.
PC I think should be just 01.01.06 till 31.12.13. Some might argue it should start with the 360 release date, but I'd favor the simplicity of just the year windows, not down to specific months or days.
Cross-gen should count, if you played them on that platform. If you played King Kong on 360, that's fine. If you played Mordor on PS3, that's fine too. But to be clear, HD Remasters shouldn't be included, nor VirtualConsole titles, etc.
Anyone think of any other sticking points?
