Respected gaming publication EDGE has listed what it deems to be the top ten best games of the last generation of consoles. There’s very few surprises on the list, but it certainly makes for an interesting read. It’s also nice to see the iconic Super Mario Galaxy come in at 2.
10. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
9. LittleBigPlanet
8. Bayonetta
7. Super Street Fighter IV
6. Red Dead Redemption
5. Grand Theft Auto V
4. Portal
3. The Last of Us
2. Super Mario Galaxy
1. Dark Souls
#1 should be xenoblade, and demon souls was 100 times better than dark souls.
Of all those games, one was on a Nintendo system….. And I really like how you imbeciles are calling the list flawed and saying how the game you like should be on the #1 place and not the game that is.
It’s called being subjective. This is their list, almost every gaming site has a list of their own, you imbecilic shits. Objectivity is when I say that Wii U sucks and then count 20 reasons that you can’t dispute.
Objecity is that you’re manchild who needs to kill himself, pathetic, virginal piece of shit.
Was that really necessary? Telling someone to kill themself is horrible.
I was told to go kill myself many times on YouTube years ago. That’s when I realized that there was a lot of psychos in this world.
The people who do say that are just the immature ones lol. Better to ignore them are focus on the sane people on the Internet
He’s just projecting his modern life onto the blog. Lots of trolls do it. Just feed em and send em home.
Nice argument there
Wow you make Internet jackasses sound more mature than you ya sad POS.
I don’t like Dumko’s narcissism, either, but I wouldn’t wish death on him. Although, he did kind of do the same thing awhile back when we discovered Iwata was sick back in June. *shrug* Whatever. Still uncalled for.
This list is very nice! Except I would have Halo 2 at the number 2 spot. Dark Souls 2 as number 1! And fire emblem awakening number 3! And then remove everything else off of this list! Lol.
Halo 2 wasn’t a 7th gen game
also, Fire Emblem awakening is a current gen game.
lol that crappy ass list
Dark Souls is number 1? Ok, if you say so Edge. Super Mario Galaxy absolutely deserves its place on these lists though, that game is one of the only ones I’ve ever played that I can genuinely say flirts with perfection.
That you played huh, seems legit then.
I didn’t like Galaxy. I think Sunshine shits on galaxy tbh imo
Lol, is that a joke?
He said “TBH” so I’m pretty sure he’s not joking. Besides every one will have different lists.
Where the hell is Xenoblade? That masterpiece deserves top 5.
It’s excellent, but there are far better games
Xenoblade should absolutely be on that list. It was the best rpg of last generation. If that’s not enough to make the list, then the people that made the list just simply don’t like rpg’s.
My list would be so much different from that list.
Yep. Those are all the great games from last gen. Edge has good taste.
Silence human child…
Why?
I detect blasphemous bacteria within your mouth…
They’re great games. All of them.
Thank God that they didn’t put any COD after MW1
Only COD4 and WaW were great. Since MW2, the series became shit and unbalanced as fuck plus annoying with the annual release BS everybody is following over.
I don’t even need to look at the replies and I know you’re gonna get shitted on for that lmao.
They are great games, but there were better.
they put mario galaxy in to prevent raging nintendo fires
I thinK they put it in becuase it’s good
Well there’s only one and thats typical.
Dark souls and bayonetta? Lol what
Yep dark souls beats everything sorry guys.
Swap Littlebigplanet out for Borderlands 2, take The Last Of Us out (great story but as a game it’s awful, there’s five minutes of game play squeezed into ten odd hours in my opinion) and replace it with Sound Shapes then move Dark Souls down one and replace Galaxy 1 for 2 and you have my top ten. Swap Portal for it’s sequel too actually.
COD: Modern Warfare, Borderlands 2, Bayonetta, Super Street Fighter IV, Red Dead, GTA V, Portal 2, Sound Shapes, Dark Souls, Super Mario Galaxy 2
Really hard to argue with the majority of the games they picked though.
good list, but portal 2 is better, same with galaxy 2
I didn’t even get to play any of these games because I only owned a Wii last gen. :(
Yup, that’s the case with most of the people here, they think their opinion is more valid than a publication that covers all games from all systems.
Lol.
What a loss. You really missed out on a shitload of games
excellent list. they’re all fantastic games.
These are all very good games. I feel like Xenoblade or Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze would’ve fitted on this list very well, too, but ten games is just not a lot. Mario Galaxy is my personal number 1, but I’m a Nintendo fan so probably biased lol.
Also: I hate Minecraft, but I must admit that it had a HUGE HUGE role in the last gen, and in gaming as a whole in fact. Surprised they didn’t list it.
Xenoblade at least top 5!
And Tropical Freeze is not last gen…
RE4 should have made it for Wii.
Dummy, it did. It’s called “Wii Edition” which is essentially a PS2 port with Wii controls.
It’s a Gamecube port.
GameCube didn’t have Ada’s campaign. PS2 did.
So it’s the Wii port of a PS2 port of the Gamecube game, like he said.
No. He said it was a GameCube port, like “direct” port. Technically, it’s not since GameCube didn’t have Ada’s Campaign mode.
But little big planet and gta 5 sucked ass
LittleBigPlanet introduced a possibility of community sharing and customization of platfomers, GTA V revolutionized the open world genre. Don’t get so salty m8
It’s an okay list but my personal list would have been quite a bit different.
Side note for those of you complaining about their ratings: How is this list invalid but their Bayonetta 2 perfect score the final word and judgement of all things? lol
TLOU is the most overrated game of last gen.
Bet you didn’t even play it, LOL
Well, at least it wasn’t The Last of Us. And Dark what? Never heard of it.
You must be living under a rock if you haven’t heard of the dark souls series.
Lol Ikr.
It’s just sad how ignorant people in this website are
Super Mario Galaxy is so beautiful Wii Video game. It should be rank # 1
on Edge’s Last generation of video games.
Number 01 is easily Super Mario Galaxy and 02 is The Last Of Us. Dark Souls my ass lol :-P
Can’t see why people like dark souls so much either I mean it may not be bad but on number 1? My ass twice.
1. Dark Souls 2
2. Halo 2
3. Fire Emblem: Awakening
4. Skyrim
5. Dark Souls
6. Super Mario Sunshine
7. Call of Duty 4
8. Grand Theft Auto V
And then the rest of those amazing games follow, except for Galaxy. Galaxy sucks. Stupid ass camera angles gives me a fucking headache.
Halo 2 is not last gen. The lest was best 7th gen games.
And Fire Emblem Awaking is current gen so clearly this fool doesn’t remember what last and current gen looks like.
You criticize Galaxy over camera when clearly Sunshine’s camera is fucking worse, glitchy and does that blue screen death everybody hates. You sir, have no taste and give people a fucking headache trying to understand why you’re so backwards.
Both games’ cameras are terrible. He wasn’t talking about Sunshine so your entire was comment was irrelevant anyways
I never had a problem with Galaxy’s camera because at least it’s intelligently fixed. Talk about irrelevance somewhere else when it’s properly called for fool because hoping over my 1on1 conversation talking about “irrelevance” is a sad display of blinded hypocrisy.
this list seems ok, i would just change Portal with portal 2
Seeing this list makes me realize why I’m not as hardcore of a gamer as I once was.
Why not
The fact that Call of Duty is in that list makes me not care about the entire thing as a whole. Their opinions are garbage because of that.
COD 4 was the best in the series, Play the game/actually READ reviews before looking like an idiot and being the typical sheep, bashing the series but hilariously not knowing shit about the actual series.
Thank you! Thank you for writing this. I was having a bad day, but reading this has made me laugh so hard that I’ve forgotten all about my troubles. You should become a comedian, just go up on stage and voice your opinion. People are sure to laugh. I’ll keep this comment short, after all, I know you have quite a bit of quickscoping to do, and I don’t want to keep you from that. Also, better go to the store and buy some Mountain Dew and Dorito’s, you’re probably running low on “gamer fuel”.
WTF is Dark Souls? And I bet it’s not even that great. Nobody even talks about it much anyway so, why’s that number one? Galaxy or Last of Us, maybe GTA5 could’ve made that top. But fucking Dark Souls? Again, WTF is that game? lol
Man, you too? Dang, you guys have been living under rocks if you don’t know what Dark Souls is. XD
Hardly any noticeable advertisement. lol
*picks up rock off of Stranga* “Wow how long you been living down there?” XD
Just for a few minutes looking for buried treasures. lol
The fact that you don’t know what Dark Souls is is laughable
Not one ad or any piece of news. How’s that laughable compare to your defense over PSVita?
My list:
1. Metal Gear Solid 4
2. Bioshock 1
3. GTA V
4. Uncharted 2
5. Half-Life 2
6. Fallout 3
7. Far Cry 3
8. COD Modern Warfare
9. Journey
10. Xenoblade Chronicles
Fallout 3 and MGS4? What the hell, man.
Also never heard of Dark Soul.
Dark souls was extremely overrated in my opinion. So many better games out there.
How’s that even possible… Is MyNintendoNews your only source of gaming news?
Not a bad list. Here’s mine.
10. Far Cry 3
9. Bioshock
8. Diablo 3
7. Metroid Prime
6. Monster Hunter Tri
5. Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
4. Skyrim
3. Xenoblade Chronicles
2. Mario Galaxy
1. Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
So many good games, I hope i’m not forgetting something…
Metroid Prime 3 or the Trilogy?
I would say Trilogy, even though the first is probably the best.
Also, Oblivion >>> Skyrim :P
Yea, I wouldn’t argue that. I loved Oblivion, it almost made the list. I just didn’t want to put two games from the same I.P. on the list. Same reason Mario Galaxy two wasn’t on there. However, Skyrim for me was an amazing experience, more so than Oblivion was.
You know, Arkham City should be on that list.
I like Edge’s list. I really can’t disagree.
Edge’s list left out so many good games. Where are the Arkham games? Where are the Zelda games? Skyrim? Oblivion? Diablo? The list goes on. It felt like they through in street fighter to say they had a fighting game on the list.
LOLOLOLOL STREET FIGHTER ARE YOU KIDDING
My list of the best games from 7th Gen…
8. Red Steel 2
7. Mario Kart Wii
6. Pandora’s Tower
5. Pokemon Heart Gold
4. Chrono Trigger DS
3. The Last Story
2. Skyward Sword
1. Xenoblade Chronicles
Don’t like my list because it’s mostly Nintendo games & 3rd party exclusives for Nintendo consoles? Tough shit because I only did DS & Wii last gen. xD
