Off the top of my head...
Wii Sports
Madden (Forget which year, assume 08)
Smash Brothers
Resident Evil 4
NBA live 09
Mario Kart
Zelda
I've also played some strange mini games that I don't know exactly what the name of the actual game was.

You don't like where Nintendo is taking the industry,but you don't seem to like the industry's current direction much to begin with.

That's true, I don't. Thus why I didn't waste my money supporting it from the gate. This year's madden is the first one where I could say that its honestly as good as the Ps2 version, and that's downright sad.
I'm the type to play everything before I buy it, and thanks to friends and family members I got the oppertunity to do that a lot before buying a console myself. I'll admit that I haven't had extended time with XBL which is supposed to be good for 360 (My experience with the voice chat was retarded 12 year old british kids pissing me off).. and I haven't really messed with the Wii's ability to download old content which could be a very nice feature.. But neither of them drew me in enough on their own merits to buy a console for it.

I mean I am almost certain that anyone of these boards could come up with a handful of games that stand out as extremely extraordinary efforts on any of the 3 major consoles, but you feel this is the worst generation.. go figure.

I never said that there's no good games this generation, heck, one of my favorite games of all time came out this gen..

So let me ask you this, what do you want?

My reply in your "Immersion in Video Games" thread sums up what I go for the most. My favorite genre is RPGs, and I like some action/shooter games. I'm also a fan of sports/racing sims.
For RPGs, I haven't played any good ones this gen yet. The best one I've spent time playing is Oblivion, but I think morrowind is a superior game to Oblivion so it felt like moving backwards. Mass effect is decent, it just doesn't fit my idea of a classic RPG that I enjoy, and I didn't care much for the story (And its far from a 'polished' game).
For action/shooter games.. this gen has been good. I enjoy Halo 3, Gears of War 2, Metal Gear Solid, GTA4, Call of Duty, .. I even liked perfect dark.
Sports games this gen have been lackluster, especially football games. 2k sports has done good with the NBA games.. but EA has dropped the ball on NFL and NCAA Football. This year's Madden feels a lot better though.. so it might look up. I was blown away by Madden 2001-2002 off the bad last gen.
My general excitement level when it comes to playing video games in general has went down. It could just be me.
