Okay, so I'm looking to get some new games for my Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo Gamecube. My birthday is coming up and I seriously doubt my parents are planning on getting me anything cool (what, a giftcard?), so a nice gift for myself is looking good. Thing is, I'm just not sure what I want. Anyway, I'm turning to you, the PF community, to give me your top 10. Everyone's input is appreciated, but along with the top 10, I'd appreciate it if you told me what genre of games you are into. FPS, RPG, Fighter, etc... Multiple genres are okay too. Please also note what the top 10 is for (abbreviated, like 360, Wii, NDS, GCN, PS3, etc.) I don't have a PS3 but I play my best friend's one a lot so... Thanks!~ Have an awesome summer, PF!

Sonic Unleashed is good. I have the WiIi version, but I've seen a walkthrough (gnrfan5000) for the 360 version and it looks much better. I love Spore Hero, but it's only fun until you beat it. Then there's absolutely NOTHING to do. Also, I think Gelatop is selling some of his stuff.

Just some of my favorite games: by the way, I'm not committed to any one genre. I play any game, no matter what it is, as long as it's good.
Xbox 360:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1 and 2: Both of them are incredible games by InfinityWard, with amazingly fun campaigns and some of the best multiplayer around.
Castle Crashers: Actually an arcade game, it's one of my favorite games of all. A side-scrolling action game that gets even better with more people, and lots of characters to play.

Wii:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Definitely get this game. My favorite Zelda game of all, and just a fun game all around.
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2: I won't even try to describe how much I like these games. Loads of fun, and incredible game mechanics.

DS:
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks: Both of these are very fun games, but I personally like PH more. They are very similar in aspect, but they're both great.
Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver: What, did you think I'd forget a Pokemon game? Come on, now.

Gamecube:
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker: Easily the best Gamecube game ever made, in my opinion. Get it. Now.
Final Fantasy: The Crystal Chronicles: A very fun game, and my favorite FF game. Only problem is you need a GameBoy to play multiplayer.

PS3:
InFamous: Very, very good game. A nice sandbox-style game with the ability to play as either good or evil (be evil, it's much more fun).
Red Dead Redemption: A very new game, it happens in the Wild West and is an unbelievably good game. Made by the same people who created the Grand Theft Auto games, but more fun.

And there you go. Two of my favorite games from each console, adding up to 10. Have fun!

Haha, I have all the games you named, Drufle, except Spirit Tracks, Galaxy 2 and the Call of Duty 4 and modern warfare 2. (I don't know about the PS3 games, gotta check my friend's place).

Kay, here we go. I like RPGs, RTS, strategy, and fighters, but lots of other stuff too. Mainly stuff with story or just plain fun stuff.

The World Ends With You for DS
A videogame with a good storyline?! Gasp! Seriously, made by Square Enix, it's them departing from their run-of-the-mill save the world stuff and telling a more intimate story. The art is great, the gameplay is wacky but awesome, my top game ever.

Any Fire Emblem game ever for GBA, DS, Gamecube, and Wii - this totals 5 games.
Great strategy, and the characters are interesting. The gameplay is also interesting cus if a character dies, they're actually dead. Play Sacred Stones for the GBA first, it has the best mechanics because of split promotion trees. In between Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, you really don't need to know the story of Path of Radiance, the first one, to play Radiant Dawn, and Radiant Dawn is nicer.

If you like RPGs with a bit of depth, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance: Grimoire of the Rift for the DS is a great game with huge customization options, and Final Fantasy 5 Advance for the GBA is also a great game, though a bit dated. It's light-hearted, but the job system is what started the Tactics job system, so it's excellent.

Cave Story is a retro game for WiiWare and PC with a funny interesting story and great gameplay.

Ummm... Super Smash Bros Melee on the odd chance you don't have it, but only if you enjoy competitive play. And then any 4th gen pokemon game - just play it competitively and it gets really interesting.

Yeah... I just realized all other games get overshadowed in the face of The Wrold Ends With You for me. I did try not to include games you probably have.

RPG
Crys: Chrysice lvl 10, female
Powder Snow

Oh no, not Sonic Unleashed. The 360 version seems meh-okay, but the Wii version is just BORING. BOOOORRRIIIIINNGG. You get about one level of daylight, followed by three to four dreadfully long Night levels with crappy controls.

If you're looking to playing a lot of games, mod your Wii and play free... nothing.

I like most types of games, RTS, TBS, RPG, Racing, Platforming, Shooting, but not fighting. Expect for Smash Bros.
So here's a few recommendations:

Wii
Mario Galaxy 2
NEW Super Mario Bros. Wii
WarioWare Smooth Moves
Pokémon Battle Revolution (Only if you have a 4th gen Pokémon maintream game)
Mario Kart Wii
Super Paper Mario
Metroid Prime: Trilogy
Megaman 7
(and if you're willing to wait for a few months, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Ep. 1 on Wiiware)

DS
Phoenix Wright series
PMD Sky
Kirby Super Star Ultra

Gamecube
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door
Pikmin 2

PS3
Ratchet & Clank

Buuuut, if you want my top ten favorite recent games...

1. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) (Just plain fun.)
2. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (GCN) (Great storyline, controls, graphics, mechanics)
3. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (GCN) (Cel-shaded Link is pwn)
4. New Super Mario Bros. (Wii) (Nostalgic feeling, great graphics, great controls & physics. Difficulty just right)
5. Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3) (Creative concepts, great graphics)
6. Mass Effect (PC/Xbox) (I like this for reasons I shall not disclose)
7. Spore Galactic Adventures (PC) (You get to create your own creature and shoot lasers using it. Duh)
8. Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations (DS) (Funny dialogue, amazing twists, fun concepts, and incredible music and sound effects)
9. Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii) (Great physics, good concepts. And Yoshi!)
10. Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door (GCN) (Great graphics, creative concepts)

Honorable Mentions:
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (DS)
Sonic Rush (DS)
WarioWare: Smooth Moves (Wii)
Xcite Truck (Wii)

Truly though, there are tons of great games out there. It all really comes down to the type of games you like. I very much agree with JDL's Top Ten, except I would change a couple things. I've never really liked any Sonic game, and the Mass Effect games just didn't do well with me. But definitely get Ratchet and Clank games. The newer ones are ok, but the old ones for the PS2, like Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal, are absolutely incredible. So much fun.

Wish Decku had a playstation... maybe in the future, lol. Anyway, of the games mentioned above, lot's of games I never tried. I do have Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn (gorgeous cut scenes and the storyline wasn't bad) and wanna get Path of Radiance. I certainly have Brawl, Melee and all 4th Generation Pokemon games (includes Battle Revolution - but other than for getting Mystery Gift pokemon, it was really a huge let down. I wish they made the game they had shown in the trailer, not this hacked up pathetic attempt at Pokemon Stadium...

Oh, and I'd be absolutely mad not to buy Metroid Prime and Wind Waker. Best rpgs on the NGC other than Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos, and Ocarina of Time. Majora's Mask is good too.

Get Mini Ninjas for the DS. And if you like Harry Potter and have got to Book 5, get the fifth game for the Wii.

I got all the PC Harry Potter games except book 6. I love them (except the 4th one, which was some kind of stupid side-angled bird's eye view side scroller with haphazard spells. The first three and the 5th were gold though. Mini Ninjas I played on PS3, looked fun, maybe I'll see about the DS. I've got a lot to consider about what games I want. Thanks everyone.

I second those. Now for my DS addictions:
Mario Kart DS
Ragnarok (US)
Pokemon HeartGold/Soul Silver (PS: I managed to capture Ho-oh with a pokeball. It's not fake or cheated, trust me.)
Final Fantasy series
Mario and Luigi series
The Legendary Starfy
WarioWare D.I.Y (to make cool games there you require a pixeler's and a creative mind

)

Being a video game conissuer myself, I have personal list of favorites, a few I haven't played yet, some on differing versions as well (I played Oblivion on 360). Enjoy!

For the 360:
Bioshock 1 or 2
Modern Warfare 1-2 (I would suggest 2 for replayability, and 1 for glitching the storyline w/ a friend)

For the PC:
Warcraft 3
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition (Comes with both expansions for Morrowind, and is absolutely amazing, as it lets you enjoy the epic game even more, and comes with teh cheets!)

For the PS3:
inFamous
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

For the DS:
HeartGold/SoulSilver (absolutely amazing games, I had the best week ever playing up to Victory Road, and I'm only 45% done!)
Emerald/LeafGreen/FireRed (A good chance to get some cool Pokemon for your DS game. I did 3 playthroughs and multiple migrates, and received a crapload of good Pokemon)

Scribblenauts is a good game for the DS. My brother just got it.

I don't own a PS3, so I can't confirm this, but I think 3D Dot Heroes is good.

It's very good. I'm almost done with it myself, and the real point of the whole game is just pure nostalgia. It's so reminiscent of the original Legend of Zelda, and has little references from the age of 8-Bit games too. Plus, the art's amazing, especially with the "3D Pixels" art theme.

It's a good game, yes, most mostly for the novelty of it. It wears off pretty quickly. Might I suggest waiting for Scribblenauts 2, which I think comes out pretty soon if it's not out already?

Wind Absorb

Hahaha... Nice reference.
Anyways, yeah. The World Ends With You. You'll love it as a self proclaimed emo, a writer, an artist, and everything else. It also has the best one-liners ever, and the characters... Aaaaah.
Oh yeah, the gameplay is sweet too.
Really, go get it now. Nintendo Power named it one of their Top 10 games of the decade too. It is the best game EVER.
On the subject of Path of Radiance... You'll be let down a bit after Radiant Dawn. Really, it's a great game, but with no third tier, graphics are worse, etc... If you liked the Fire Emblem gameplay, get Sacred Stones or the original US Fire Emblem for GBA.
