The Best of the 7th Generation
turf:
-Best Console (or PC)?
Xbox 360.
As much as I feel like I missed out not having a PS3 until 6 months ago, the 360 just did things right. Yeah, things started to head downhill toward the end, but it was a great system. I honestly don't think we'll see anyone do everything this well again.
-Best Handheld?
Nintendo DS
Do I really need to explain this one. There is a great library with a good mix of rehashed classics and new innovation.
-Best Game Developer?
Nintendo
They made the games that I will continue to come back and play. Now if we could just get them to take out the waggle controls from everything.
-Best Innovation?
Xbox Live
It may have started in the previous generation, but it was perfected here. The online play works great and the ability to download games on the XBLA made this a hit. Everyone else is trying to do it now, but just isn't getting it right.
-Top 10 Games?
This is a toughy...
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood I really think the whole series should be on here, but this is my favorite
Rock Band 2 The series is great, and dammit if playing plastic instruments wasn't a blast
Borderlands 2 I don't know what to say other than this is a lot of fun
New Super Mario Bros Is it strange that the 2D throw back was a breath of fresh air? I'm kind of sick of 3D platformers
Red Dead Redemption This is possibly the best game of this generation.
Kingdom Hearts HD Remix I know this was on the PS2, but I just discovered it. I'm counting it as this generation
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Say what you want about COD. It was fun before every 12 year old got it and started having sex with my mom.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance All these comic book characters in one game? Yes please!
UFC Undisputed 2010 Finally my favorite sport gets some love. Being a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu guy, I loved that you could pull off submissions from about every position.
Star Wars: The Force Unleased This is the first time you really got the feeling that you were using The Force. It was over the top and I loved it.
Batman: Arkham Asylum I am the DAMN BATMAN!
Honorable Mention: Fable 2&3, Crackdown, Brutal Legend, Call of Duty 3, Gears of War, Portal 2, Tiger Woods Golf, Contra 4, Professor Layton Series

Hell, most 3D platformers you can hardly call "platformers". They're more like "collect-a-thons" with cutesy characters.
