Best Games of Generation 7
When pertaining 'best exclusive', one game per franchise is allowed. Anything else is fair game for multiple games from a single franchise. A game from generation 7 must have released on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, PSP or PC (PC games must be 2005-2013). If a game released on one of these consoles, but released onto an 8th generation game on the same day, it is ineligible. Thank you for voting!
