Missed the GamesBeat Summit excitement? Don't worry! Tune in now to catch all of the live and virtual sessions here.
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 Team Fortress 2 followed by Bayonetta and Mass Effect 1.

@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 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.
