1. Demon's Souls ; There's no doubt in my mind that this is both my abolute favourite of last gen but also one of the most important games released in that era. I remember reading about it on Eurogamer, NeoGAF and a german gaming forum. At first I was scared by the hardcore difficulty that was often mentioned, but the sheer beauty of the screenshots, the overwhelming atmosphere and the highly praised gameplay made me take a leap of faith and I imported the asian version of the game. What followed were 80 hours of gaming bliss: scary, powerful enemies that could strike you down in an instant followed by terrifying, heart-pounding boss batles, the true relief after finding yet another shortcut, mesmerizing locations, legendary NPCs and a worthy OST to accompany it all. A true masterpiece!
2. WipEout HD ; Simply the best arcade racer of last gen and one of the best ever made. Gorgeous graphics paired with exhilariting speed, marvelous track design, a legendary OST and masterful gameplay.
3. Last of Us ; The pinnacle of cinematic gaming, an emotional rollercoaster with an outstanding story and dialogues, very solid gameplay, beautiful soundtrack and scenery. Naughty Dogs at their best!
4. Mirror's Edge ; Not only does it set a new aesthetical standard, who'd have known that FPS games could be anything else than brown, it does also bring a breath of fresh air to the genre with parcours and its flowing gameplay.
5. Super Mario Galaxy ; Best platformer of the gen (haven't played No. 2 yet) and a true Nintendo gem.
6. GTAV ; Monumental game.
7. Just Cause 2 ; Pure unadultered fun, sandbox the game.
8. Deus Ex Human Revolution ; Worthy sequel to the legendary original game.
9. Dead Space ; Survival horror at its finest and in space!
10. Battlefield 1943 ; Best MP experience of the gen.
