Best Video Games of the Modern Era. What do you Recommend?

[Stephen]

Though I rarely play video games anymore, this list cannot be complete without the best fighter game of all time (Marvel vs. Capcom 2) or best racing game of all time (Gran Turismo 5). Although not a console, Counter-Strike is still my favorite FPS of all time. While talking about blasts from the past, have to (quietly) tip my hat to Baldur's Gate 2. Lost waaaaaay too much time to that game in college. Must. Resist. Urge.

GT5?!?!?! Forza 4, is the bees knees, my friend.

The drifting in GT5 is bland, to me.

Forza 4 has a much better community to.

As for games to add:
Hit Man (any of them)
Borderlands
