I'd rather the casual games market becomes completely seperate market... let Nintendo and soon enough Apple to deal with them...
Sorry hardcore Nintendo fans, and I mean it.

we actually tally the amount of people per day who come in the games store i work in and slate chinatown wars. its a joke.
id agree with all your choices except dark sector and def jam.

I knew Valkyria Chronicles was on the list!
It's been turneed into anime, two separate manga series, and is second best selling PS3 PRG according to Amazon.(the best sekking is GTA IV)
So, may be it's not so overlooked anymore...

No, the only excuse for not picking up Tales of Vesperia up today is that it's not freakin' out yet in Europe. Only a month to go...

tsk, tsk...GR, I'm disappointed in you.
You could have easily shoehorned Okami in this article..(by mentioning this gen's Wii edition)
Keep harassing people to play it...It's why I played it and I'm in love with the game.

Here's a game that'll get me a lot of grief for bringing up: SiN.
While it had a ton of bugs (99% of the game) if you persevered and got the update then you had an incredibly innovative, if still flawed, game.
1) Plot. It is complex and ever changing. It begins as a bank robbery. The it looks like some organized crime scheme, then a drug gang, then a mutant plague and finally a plot to rule the world. These are tied together seamlessly.
2) Level design was varied: A bank, underground tunnels, burned out buildings, subways, city streets, oil rig, under water base, tropical island complete with lava, hydroelectric dam, sektit super villian base, bio-labs...
3) Game play: You could actually hack into ATMs, and steal $$. Hack into other computers, get a DOS prompt and muck about. It had the first FPS stealth mission I ever saw, a sniper mission, a helicopter + chain gun mission, under water combat.
4) Some tech innovations: it tried for "action based outcomes" where what you did caused some plot shifts. This didn't really work so well. It was the first game played (it was released before half life) that had different sounding foot steps for different materials.
It still had a lot of flaws, but it was a lot of fun. IMO.

I know PS2 games aren't this gen in tech terms but surely the Persona games deserve more attention than they got existing at the fag end of PS2's lifetime.
Currently, along with my monthly pilgrimage back to play SoTC for an hour or two, Persona3 and 4 are the very best reasons to own a BC PS3. I await the PS3 installment with baited breath-if Arlus bother to use the tach the game should be incredible looking to go with all the series already offers in depth, gameplay, length and unutterable charm.
Honestly nothing this gen on any console holds much of a candle to these games. And they sell like sh1t flavour ice cream despite all the gushing reviews they get-it's almost like they copied the exact method Okami pioneered.

"The gravity-flipping wormhole-hopping puzzles are inventive, but not of the same caliber as Portal’s."
In response to this:
1.) Prey came out roughly two years before Portal, so how could one seriously compare the two?
2.) Wasn't the programming for the physics in Portal based off of Prey?
Just sayin'.

Chinatown Wars, i love. And i bought it 2 weeks after it came out with the rave reviews.
And it really dissappointed me. The gunplay ruined the entire thing. Gunfights that would have been 1,2,3 on 360 were,multiple times dead and re try the mission until i find some semblance of cover. Battlestations Pacific and Midway are great games though.
