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

By Modern Era I mean N64, PS1, XBox, Dreamcast, and beyond. Super Mario 1, 2, 3, Metroid, Kid Icarus, PacMan, Galaga, Pole Position, Custer's Revenge, and etc. are all great, but I'm talking about games made in 1997 and beyond.I'm talking about the post-16 bit era. What do you recommend?

I'll start it out here:
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (my favorite modern game of all time)
MLB: The Show '08
Mario 64
Goldeneye (N64)
God of War 3
Uncharted 1,2, and 3
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
COD: MW3
Bioshock
Contra Rebirth
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham City
Little Big Planet 2
Mario Galaxy
Mario Glaxy 2
Legend of Zelda: Ocorina of Time
Sonic Adventure
Sonic Adventure 2
Star Wars: Episode III
COD: Black Ops
Assassin's Creed II
GTA IV
GTA: San Andreas
Metroid Prime
Madworld
Burgertime: World Tour
Lego Star Wars series
Lego Harry Potter series
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Metroid: Other M


Many more, but these are off the top of my head.
Recommend me some decent games that are available for current systems.
Even the old games that I mentioned are available for the current three systems and the PC.

Good list Andy.

I would have to add Final Fantasy VII, Final Final Fantasy Tactics and Boarderlands.

The new Mario Brothers game for the Wii is also pretty slick.

Never heard of it. I assume it's either a precursor to Pitfall or a rip-off.
I'm not very well-versed in the Atari 2600 series, but I am VERY aware of the best in its library.

I should have added any Mario game other than the crappy Mario Hotel and the Mario is Missing type of crap.
New Super Mario Bros. for DS and Super Mario Bros. Wii are both great titles that I overlooked.

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

Added a LOT of my favorites that I played growing up. I stuck with Sega Gen, PS1 and N64 as there is just way to many games once you start getting into the newer age.

Try to keep it in alphabetical order, makes it easier to contribute to the thread.
