The way I see it, we'll always get games that won't get the recognition they deserve as they're just not mainstream enough or the name just isn't as well known
Helps though that most of the games I've played on PS3 are nicely placed out across the entire list.
And yeah my list was completely and utterly biased... Everything I've voted/done since we stopped sorting them into the 5 groups has been rather biased

Multiplat 2018: Horizon Zero Dawn
Nintendo 2017: Super Mario Bros 3
Playstation 2016: Uncharted 2
Multiplat 2015: Final Fantasy 7
As for this finals round I am a tad concerned certain games are splitting the vote - Mass Effect 2 / ME trilogy. The pair of Rayman games (Ralizah shares the same opinion that the origins was a seminal game - legends was a mish mash) But it is what it is. My top picks are all still in my opinion the best at what they do; Mass Effect 2 the best Sci fi story driven game, Burnout Paradise the best arcade racer, Super SF4 the best 2d fighter, Disgaea 4 the best tactical RPG etc.
I'm keeping the final result a surprise and have no idea how things lie. Roll on Wednesday.

@themcnoisy
I swapped Disgaea 4 into my list, is that ok?
I would have given it points to begin with but got it confused with 3. I thought 4 was much more entertaining.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy No apology necessary; just wanted you to know that you aren't alone!
And yes, they were. They're basically why I gave it points. Such a simple idea, perfectly executed; a unique experience in gaming, and worthy of respect.

@LieutenantFatman that's fine. 4 is the best in the series. My personal ratings are 4 - 2 - 1 - 5 - 3. There are 2 versions of D2 but I have absolutely no idea what the difference is, my copy had an amazing anime war going on as an extra and was awesome. So yes feel free to change it dood.

@LieutenantFatman Yeah, it’s an interesting point. On one hand, we should celebrate the trend setting and influential nature of say, a Dark Souls because it gave rise to countless imitations and inspired many future games (same could be say to an extent to COD, Uncharted, Assassin’s Creed, Batman Arkham Asylum, God of War, etc, etc.)
On the other hand, some of these games, like Valkyria Chronicles, deserve kudos because they made something great that was was never really replicated, copied, or improved upon (or wasn’t a copycat itself of something else) and I think that too is worthy of merit in its own way. (other examples include Shadow of the Colossus, Portal 2, Heavy Rain, Journey, and Little Big Planet). It’s an interesting question: which is the more influential piece of gaming art — the game that inspires multiple popular knock-offs, or the game that is great and stands alone as the only one of its kind.
On the subject of ranking these, I also had some trouble ranking remasters, re-releases, and cross gen games. To me, Persona 5 is a PS4 game primarily, so it is not a great defining game of the PS3 era. Same could be said of MGS5. I actually like MGS5 better than MGS4, but I ranked MGS4 higher as a more seminal PS3 game because it is only on that console and MGS5 is best experienced on PS4. Another is AC4 - better on this gen. Same for Shadow of the Colossus — one of my favorite games of all time, but it’s definitive experience is on PS4, not PS3, so I ranked it lower than other games. And FFX is one of the best PS2 games, but I don’t see it as a PS3 game, despite it being an HD improved version.
Anyway, I guess it is better explained that I gave bonus points to games that were originally developed for the Ps3, not for another generation. To me these define the PS3. Uncharted 2, RDR, TLoU, Bioshock, Assassin’s Creed 2, Batman Arkham 1& 2, MGS4 .... and so forth.
@Th3solution
Yes, I had the same dilemma for remasters and cross generation games. Came to a similar decision as you there. I really enjoyed Persona 5 but it just doesn't feel like it's really a PS3 game.
