What is the best game of this generation of consoles to date?

what is it for you? 
 
As this generation I mean  Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS and PSP. So no Vita or 3DS. Also you might include PC games that are from the same time frame.  
 
I'll say that it is Dead Space, for its mastery of horror, innovation and satisfying gameplay.

Dark Souls

Too Human.

GalGun.

NieR ofc.

Red Dead Redemption

Dragon Age Origins or Mass Effect 2. I can't decide which.

Red Dead Redemtion. Game is a masterpiece.

Call of Duty 4

Portal or Call of Duty 4.

Red Dead Redemption.

Mass Effect 2

Starcraft2

Picross 3D

Obviously.

Journey

Red dead redemption

Red Dead Redemption as it is also only on consoles.

DUKE NUKEM FOREVER!!!

Those guys on reach didn't stand a chance. LOL! I'm kidding that game disappointed the fuck out of me. Randy Pitchford got the skills of a true con-artist.

I can never choose one.

You are all correct.

I'll pick one series and that's Mass Effect

For me that series has been so important and I simply can't get enough of that universe. Looking forward to whatever comes next.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD

Let's get real. Dino D-Day revolutionized the gaming front as we know, but the sonic boom of pure innovation has yet to be heard by the industry at large.

...Batman Arkham City? I guess? I really like that game, but thinking about this question I realized there hasn't been anything this generation I feel super strongly about.

Demon's Souls.

Red Dead Redemption

Uncharted 2

Braid

Fallout 3

Journey. Or Bastion.

Halo Wars! \m/

It's between Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, and Mass Effect 2.

And by "of this generation," I mean "of all time ever conceived by man."

Metal Gear Solid 4

That's really hard. I'm torn between Red Dead Redemption, GTA 4, Mass Effect 2, and Max Payne 3.

I guess I can decide by gameplay time, and that would be GTA 4. I put over 150 hours into that game and beat it multiple times.

I don't think there is a "Best" and I think it is terminology that just ends in arguements but I do have a favourite:

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

And by "of all time ever conceived by man", I mean, "of all time in every possible physical or meta material universe, before man when particles were the vehicle to life, the history of man, and the infinite stretch after mankind."

You know. I think of the best game on consoles this generation, and I can think of maybe 5 or 6 games that are PC only and far exceed it's quality.

Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 for me.

Bayonetta, or Dark Souls.

Arkham Asylun, very closely followed by Red Dead.

Oh dude, I really have no fucking idea, incase you didn't notice, there are lots of them.

Red Dead Redemption, Dark Souls or Skyrim.

Probably Red Dead Redemption for me.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

I'm calling your bluff, dude.

Demon Souls.

Minesweeper with achievements.

Dark Souls and Journey for me. ^_^
