Batman: Arkham City
Mass Effect 3
OBJECTION!
Journey over both of these. "Time" also seems to have mostly ignored handheld titles (besides phone game Angry Turds). The DS deserves to have some of its titles on the list. It didn't get to be the second best-selling console to date by having no titles of note. Pokemon. Ace Attorney. 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. Professor Layton. C'mon, when someone says "Hey, I bought a DS" these are among the first titles you recommend.
Also, Mario Kart and/or Smash Brothers? These are the quintessential "I need to go buy 4 controllers and invite 3 friends over!" titles. I don't see anything else on the list that has the same kind of impact or gaming experience. Freakin' Animal Crossing made the list, but not these? Animal Crossing is a game you play because you're a kid with no friends stuck at home during the summer and you want to avoid your family and your only option is to play a game that has no point and no ending as a metaphor for your life as a child with no self-determination. It's not fun but it can occupy you -- like computer solitaire, daytime tv, or collecting your own urine in mason jars.
