Thought it might be interesting to see what our top 5 (if possible) favourite games are in each gen, as far back as you've been gaming.

I've been a gamer since the 6th gen so:

6th gen: Ratchet and Clank 2, Ratchet and Clank 3, Kingdom Hearts, GTA: Vice City, Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil.

7th gen: Skyrim, Fallout 3, GTA V, Red Dead Redemption, The Last of Us.

8th gen (so far): Titanfall, Forza 5. (Neither of which are that great, but the best so far :/)

Man, to narrow it down to 5 games sure is hard, so I'm cheating :tongue:

Probably forgot lots of great games that I played on a computer but are available on consoles too.
