    WHY? If you can, state the best moments that you had in those games.

    I chose "Other".
    For me, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Halo 3, and Resistance 2.
    If your basically asking what your 3 favorite games are and why, it's incredibly hard to decide for me, so I just chose 1 game from each console (PS3, 360, Wii).
    Metroid Prime Trilogy because the 3 Primes have an amazing visual style, amazing music, amazing gameplay, and are just really fun. They are considered the Citizen Kane of video games.
    Halo 3 because I've had countless hours of fun playing with my friends just screwing around, and killing others, and I enjoy the Halo story.
    Resistance 2 because, I really enjoy the gameplay, and the online, especially the 8 player Co-Op. The single player is really fun too.

    Other: Persona 3, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2, and Paper Mario.

    Never played Persona 3 on PS2 but played it on PSP, it was amazing game with memorable characters and appealing visuals.
    Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2, favorite of them all because of the characters and boomerangs and probably the only one i actually finished ._."
    Paper Mario was amazing fun when i first played it on the nintendo 64. 3D world with 2D environments, interesting story, and it was a fun RPG.

    Others. You came close in fantasy but Final Fantasy 6 instead of VII, Chrono Trigger, and Majora's Mask instead of Ocarina of Time.
    FFVI because Kefka Wins! and the opera was the coolest moment in Final Fantasy yet.
    Chrono Trigger, when I watched Glenn draw a restored Masamune, I knew it was time to revenge Cyrus.
    Majora's Mask's Fierce Diety mask was and still is the greatest powerup in the history of gaming.

    Pokemon, no matter how long you play, how many pokemon you catch, even if you lose, its all very fun.

    BLACK. EXPLOSIONS. Yum
