Earlier this week I posted my opinion on what the Game of the Generation was the Wii/PS3/360. (Check out the blog here or in the forums here.) But that game is not my favorite game from these last eight or nine years, and I was happy to see plenty of others seemed to agree with me. You see, my favorite game from last gen is definitely Super Mario Galaxy. I won't go into great detail (Alex-C25 wrote a great love letter to the game not long ago, which you should totally read if you haven't) but let me paint with some broad strokes. Super Mario Galaxy is the essence of fun, boiled down its purest form. The game is simply a joy to play, and the amount of creativity on display is astounding. It looks great and I love the orchestrated soundtrack. But mainly...it's just so dang fun, and isn't that the point of games in the first place?

About a month ago I started working on a blog about the Game of the Generation. Though we’ll continue to see PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games for a while yet (Persona 5, anyone?), a new chapter of gaming history is underway with the Wii U, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Obviously I never finished that blog but IGN recently posted its picks for the Top 100 games of the generation, so it seems like a good time to revisit the idea. IGN’s list is ripe for controversy, as any such list would be, but their criteria is so vague that it’s hard to know exactly how or why they put certain games where they did in the list.

Even though the transition into the newest generation of gaming consoles has been a gradual, whimpering affair so far, it’s pretty clear that the previous generation is wrapping up its final encore. To look back at how the PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360, and Nintendo DS thrilled us for years, PixlBit brings you our Game of the Generation series. Our staff has picked their personal favorite, most influential, most impactful games to highlight as we bid adieu to what was.
