I haven't even finished ten games from that generation yet.
Rough draft:
1. Vanquish
2. Metal Gear Rising
3. Bayonetta
4. Mass Effect 2 or 3 (probably 2)
5. Mirror's Edge
6. Portal 2
7. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
8. Assassin's Creed 2
9. X-COM: Enemy Unknown
10. Diablo III
Leaving out stuff that was cross-gen makes it hard, as I really want to add things like Dragon Age: Inquisition. I also know I'm forgetting so much.
[edit] Memory dumping for future debating of inclusion: Nier, Xenoblade, Sin & Punishment 2, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Last Remnant, Resonance of Fate.

Phew, that's ten games, didn't even need to resort to naming Guwange, good, moving on.
(though if I can name some shit like MMP then shouldn't Raiden Aces be eligible? eugh fuck it whatever nobody cares)
edit(s): Honors to Mirror's Edge. Maybe I'd have put Transistor somewhere in there if I had taken the time to play it through.
I think I'd find it easier to make a list dedicated to a single platform rather than a generation. The PC straddles console gens too, but computer games are in your list, and they'd definitely be in mine. In fact, mine would probably be mostly PC and handheld stuff.
What about ports/remakes? Some remasters, etc. seem justifiable, but I imagine they'd have to be held to their original release date all the same.
I can do a top-ten of the year list, but these generational lists are too tough for me right now. I feel like I can't do everything justice, lol.
This is tough. I haven't played a lot of the games on other people's lists, but here's mine in no particular order:
Super Mario Galaxy
MGS Peace Walker
Punch Out
Bayonetta
Rock Band 2
Uncharted (2 seems to be better, but haven't completed it)
Max Payne 3
Mortal Kombat
Street Fighter 4
MGS 4
Tomb Raider
I left out most of the Cave 360 ports, as most of them were originally designed for hardware much older than the 360. Had to put Deathsmiles up though..
Xenoblade chronicles
Shadow complex
Bulletstorm
Endless Ocean Blue World
Kingdom of Amalur
Burnout Paradise
House of the Dead Overkill
