This is part of our ongoing series about games and trends of one of the most longest-lived eras in gaming’s history — the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 generation.
Before we get to next month’s launches of the next-gen systems, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, let’s take a look back at the last seven years, specifically the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 era. It undoubtedly produced a lot of great games, but we wanted you tell us which current-gen titles are your absolute favorites.
Below are some of the responses we got from Facebook and Twitter after we asked our followers to name their favorite current-gen games. You’ll see some expected responses, but a few answers will surprise you.
And please, feel free to join the conversation in the comments!

@GamesBeat It changes with my mood. Some days I’d say Call of Duty 4. Others Skyrim/Oblivion. And others Trials Evolution. — Death Grubb (@JeffGrubb) October 23, 2013
@GamesBeat Bioshock. Loved the atmosphere, the characters, the story, the music, and the gameplay. Easily my favorite game from last gen.

@GamesBeat Red Dead Redemption! Such great characters — Ryan Bloom (@BloomsTweets) October 23, 2013
@GamesBeat the uncharted 3 and fallout 3!! Simply the best of the best for me. — Aiman Basyar (@aimanbasyar) October 23, 2013
@GamesBeat I give the nod of best game (and new IP) of the current gen to @masseffect. @SplinterCell Blacklist is a close second.

@GamesBeat Borderlands 2, it had everything I wanted, single player, multiplayer, comedy, guns, and even things I didn’t know I wanted.
