Wii-PS360 (+PC + Portable scene) weren't bad generations, and I'm tired of people pretending like they were

List still being made.
Mostly 2005-2013, and mostly relevant games. I haven't included remasters or remakes, only new games relevant for their time and platform.
I started this list because it seems there is a popular consensus about the PS3 and Xbox 360 era in which people find it wasn't a good time for videogames. I truly believe these were very good and exciting years for videogames. For me, PS4 and Xbox One had a lack of surprise and freshness that I had to find on indie scene.

A lot of these games have been remade, remastered or continued in style in PS4-One and are considered classics. Furthermore, at this time there weren't almost any Games as a Service.

There certainly was quite a variety of games in that period. Dunno why the variety and quality of games nose dived so quickly in the PS4/Xbox1 generation.

Suggestion: Pandora's Tower (WII). Not a masterpiece, but a fun and worthwhile game for sure!
