Ooops, wrong thread !
Bayonetta 2 will be amazing. I have the First print edition preodered. And I´ll probably get the Special edition too.

List redeemed.
Not many companies have a huge stash of magical revenue sitting in the bank, making different business deals is pretty common for most and it seems to be working for Platnium, in fact they are making alot of games I would say.
So why is my reasoning for this to continue so strange?
That was my initial reaction too! Edge to give a 10 is like literally receiving the holy grail!
No Halo 3? Didn't they give it 10?
I think they did in fact get rid of the screen tearing for the Wii U version.

That... Is a nice list actually.

That's a genuinely good list. Dark Souls being #1 is the most accurate choice ever.

Dafuq... Bayonetta over Vanquish?
Same here. What a surprise that would have been.
I don't think LBP belongs on that list but otherwise it's a pretty solid one for sure.

Not a bad list at all. Does a good job of summing up the high notes of the previous generation. My list shares 5 of them. LBP is the only one I feel is really out of place on this list.

Indivdual's review versus the collective thoughts of all the editors.
Also, opinions change over time. 'Coming out of their shells' was a 10/10 album for me when I was 11, but it wouldn't rank so highly now.
They seem to be doing fine as it is. Partnerships with different console makers. Why change that all of a sudden?
Keep doing what they're doing, that's all I ask. And I own a Wii U as well, that's not the point. I want to play Platinum games on my Xbox and on my Ps4 as well.

Ugh, now I have to buy a Wii U. Fingers crossed for some sick deals on Black Friday.

I think I saw that the SM3DW bundle is going to be $275 at Best Buy next week. Comes with two games, between that and Nintendo Land.

The phase of enjoying an indeed well crafted game with high production values, great visuals for the time and a very engaging non interactive plot. My post wasn't a comentary on the quality of The LAst of Us, because it's perfectly executed for what it is, it has to do with it's critical apraisal of been a "propeller" for story telling in games. The gameplay is solid but pretty safe and the main reason the game gets its praise is for the tale, yet this is presented in a way that doesn't push interactive story telling in any way.
So im not sure if that deserves greatest of all generation status, i think people will get over the game when something similar but with higher production values and great visuals comes around in this cycle. Super Metroid, Link to the Past, Portal, Half Life 2, etc will forever have a place in the greatest ever lists.
Don't do this to yourself and buy the Wii U already. Deals pop up all the time to get the thing for lower than suggested price. It has 3 Platinum games (2 exclusives, the other the best version of Bayonetta probably) and Nintendo exclusives.
You'll be playing Wonderful 101 until Bayo releases. Seriously, i adviced many people to wait on the device for many months and now i can safely say the inversion is justified.
I don't care either way since I decided to pre-order the game months ago anyway. 
I was just happy to discover that both game will be included in the package. To learn that this sequel is shaping up to be excellent is unsurprising to say the least (not only that, but there's a dearth of action game these days with Capcom & Team ninja struggling, not even speaking of quality). God of War is another series that's on the downward path, especially given the layoffs at Santa Monica (and a franchise which has never been considered on par with the top tier japanese games in the genre from a mechanic standpoint).

Dark Souls at #1 though? Get the fuck out of here. Not sure I'd put Red Dead up there either. Most importantly, I need Bioshock in there somewhere.

Easily Bioshock instead of The Last of Us.
RE4 contributions to gaming are more important than The Last of Us ones are. RE 4 is a template were Naughty Dog got a lot of inspiration for the set pieces type of gamplay you saw in Unchared and was the last action game that established the blue print for others to follow. Plus it handle the scorting part of the game a lot better than the Last of Us both in practical and logical senses.
So you're saying Last of Us wasn't one of then ten best games from last gen?
On topic, I am excited to dust off my Wii U for Bayo. Already have it neatly tucked into my Gamefly queue. Does Bayo 1 come on the same disc or is it a separate one?

It's a separate disc, so I'm not sure how Gamefly will handle that.

Wow, surprised at how much i agree with this list. Only change i'd make is take out Little Big Planet and replace it with Bioshock.

Of course the Last of Us is one of the best games of last gen, yet there are others that deserve priority in that list. i do think that people give the game too much credit about what is doing for videogame story telling.
My opinion really seems to differ from people in this thread.
I wouldn't put a single one of those in my top ten.
I'm pretty sure they're going to handle it the bad way.

Interesting, what's your proposition?
Neither would I aside from Portal. But every list is subjective anyway.
1) STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl
2) Crysis
3) Bioshock
4) Batman Arkham Asylum
5) Deus Ex Human Revolution
6) Mass Effect
7) Mirror's Edge
8) Alan Wake
9) Portal 2
10) Dead Space

Bayonetta 2 getting a 10 is great news but it hurts me so much that such a well made game will be dead on arrival.

Pretty great list, especially the top 4. I should really play RDR.

That top 10 list is extremely solid. I would remove LBP and Mario Galaxy though. Modern Warfare is debatable, but it was certainly one of the most influential games of the gen.
