im using the reviews page here to ponder a game-of-the-generation list, of course its missing 2005-mid08, as well as phone games, sports games, and many DX10/11 era PC games. But there are also games like Deadly Premonition that were covered just not traditionally reviewed. care to fill me in?
best games giant bomb didnt review this gen?
Red dead redemption
@ccforua: They had a pretty good reason not to.
Red dead redemption
I haven't played Total War Shogun 2 yet so I can't say Total War Shogun 2 but hey guys, how about Total War Shogun 2?
@captain_insano: That Title Card is one of the best moments this generation.
Ni No Kuni
I thought Brad might end up reviewing this since he showed such an interest when it came out.
Dark Souls
Bam. I would add some personal picks for Lost Odyssey and Katawa Shojo.

Easily the most widely acclaimed game that the staff seems to avoid (aside from Rorie). I hope it gets its own "Dota 2" moment.

Vinny played it.
A heap of my favourite games don't have reviews. I think Patrick really should have written a review of VLR.
Red Dead Redemption for sure.
They did actually write a review for that, they gave it a 5, but they never published it because it was way too late. It was in a video when they were showing off how they published stuff or something about site features.

Vinny played it.
But never finished. He didn't even see one of the best parts of the game, which are the DLC areas.
Crusader Kings 2, of course.
I have endlessly him-hawed over pulling the trigger on buying it. Its just looks sooooooooooo complex with so much shit to learn.
Me too! I wonder if it'll just be too complicated and I'll get lost. I can barely win a game of Civ v.
I think after Empire Total War, the future Total War games were not reviewed. Oh and Persona 4 Golden.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
oh my goddd yessssss
it was an MGS psp game so its no surprise they didn't do anything past a quick look but holyyyy shitttt is this one of the most underrated games of the past few years

So not actually part of the game. :(
Red Dead Redemption, The Witcher 2
Red Dead Redemption for sure.

wait really :O ?

It has an 89 on Metacritic so I wouldn't say it was underrated. It sold poorly though.

games that reviewed well can still be underrated. obviously i dont got no fancy numbers to back this statement up but i'd bet a lot of people who would enjoy PW didn't pick it up cause its a side-story MGS released several years into the life of a troubled platform. i know i was like that until i played the HD collection version and realised it was so much more

Sold poorly cause it was on the PSP...lol.
I eventually bought it for the Vita and had a blast. Being able to remap my the face buttons to the right stick for a better camera control was nice.
Peace Walker honestly could of been MGS5 and I would of been okay with that.

I read some quote somewhere once that said Kojima was planning on making Peace Walker MGS5... but then they put it on PSP and he took off the 5.
I'll take your lack of review and raise you a missing quick look, I am amazed that adventure gamer Vinny didn't get involved with Night of the Rabbit when it released.
Red Dead Redemption for sure.

Yes really but I have no clue what video. It could be a subscriber radio show or whatever.

Ships together with the PC version, so it is now :). Artorias of the Abyss, check it out if you haven't. Also the data was on the disc already for 360 and ps3, very troubled development from what I know.
