Best Video Games of the Modern Era. What do you Recommend?
By Modern Era I mean N64, PS1, XBox, Dreamcast, and beyond. Super Mario 1, 2, 3, Metroid, Kid Icarus, PacMan, Galaga, Pole Position, Custer's Revenge, and etc. are all great, but I'm talking about games made in 1997 and beyond.I'm talking about the post-16 bit era. What do you recommend?
I'll start it out here: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (my favorite modern game of all time) MLB: The Show '08 Mario 64 Goldeneye (N64) God of War 3 Uncharted 1,2, and 3 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Castlevania: Rondo of Blood COD: MW3 Bioshock Contra Rebirth Batman: Arkham Asylum Batman: Arkham City Little Big Planet 2 Mario Galaxy Mario Glaxy 2 Legend of Zelda: Ocorina of Time Sonic Adventure Sonic Adventure 2 Star Wars: Episode III COD: Black Ops Assassin's Creed II GTA IV GTA: San Andreas Metroid Prime Madworld Burgertime: World Tour Lego Star Wars series Lego Harry Potter series Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Metroid: Other M Many more, but these are off the top of my head. Recommend me some decent games that are available for current systems. Even the old games that I mentioned are available for the current three systems and the PC.

Re: Best Video Games of the Modern Era. What do you Recommend?
Good list Andy.
I would have to add Final Fantasy VII, Final Final Fantasy Tactics and Boarderlands. The new Mario Brothers game for the Wii is also pretty slick.

Re: Best Video Games of the Modern Era. What do you Recommend?
Never heard of it. I assume it's either a precursor to Pitfall or a rip-off.
I'm not very well-versed in the Atari 2600 series, but I am VERY aware of the best in its library.

Re: Best Video Games of the Modern Era. What do you Recommend?
Though I rarely play video games anymore, this list cannot be complete without the best fighter game of all time (Marvel vs. Capcom 2) or best racing game of all time (Gran Turismo 5). Although not a console, Counter-Strike is still my favorite FPS of all time. While talking about blasts from the past, have to (quietly) tip my hat to Baldur's Gate 2. Lost waaaaaay too much time to that game in college. Must. Resist. Urge.

Re: Best Video Games of the Modern Era. What do you Recommend?
It's really hard to look through the list and add stuff when nothing is in any order. I took care of it for ya!
Assassin's Creed II Asteroids Batman: Arkham Asylum Batman: Arkham City Battletoads (SG) Beavis and Butt-head (SG) Bioshock Burgertime: World Tour Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Castlevania: Rondo of Blood COD: Black Ops COD: MW3 College Football USA 96 (SG) Contra Rebirth Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf (SG) Donkey Kong 64 Doom 64 Double Dragon (SG) Dragon Age Origins Driver (PS1) Driver 2 (PS1) God of War 3 Goldeneye (N64) Grand Theft Auto 2 (PS1) Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (my favorite modern game of all time) GTA IV GTA: San Andreas Legend of Zelda: Ocorina of Time Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Lego Harry Potter series Lego Star Wars series Little Big Planet 2 Madworld Madden 98'-02' (PS1) Mario 64 Mario Kart 64 Mario Galaxy Mario Glaxy 2 Mass Effect 1, 2, 3 Metroid Prime Metroid: Other M MLB: All star baseball 02' MLB: The Show '08 Mortal Kombat (SG) Mortal Kombat II (SG) Mortal Kombat 3 (SG) NCAA football 98' (PS1) Paperboy (SG) NFL Blitz (N64) Sonic Adventure Sonic Adventure 2 South Park (N64) Star Fox 64 Star Wars: Episode III Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition (SG) Test Drive Off-Road (PS1) Tony Hawk's Skateboarding (PS1) Twisted Metal 1-4 (PS1) Uncharted 1,2, and 3 WCW vs. nWo: World Tour (N64) WCW/nWo Thunder (PS1) WCW/nWo Revenge (N64) WWF Attitude (PS1) WWF War Zone (PS1) WWF WrestleMania 2000 (N64) WWF Raw(SG) WWF Royal Rumble(SG) WWF SmackDown! (PS1) WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role (PS1) WWF Super WrestleMania(SG) WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game(SG) Added a LOT of my favorites that I played growing up. I stuck with Sega Gen, PS1 and N64 as there is just way to many games once you start getting into the newer age. Try to keep it in alphabetical order, makes it easier to contribute to the thread.

I'm a Modern Warfare 3 Guy on Xbox. I play with my 15 y/o son all the time. Our conversation sounds like this when he comes home...
How was School? Good. Got Homework? No. Wanna Play? YEAH It keeps us close.
