It took longer than my videos usually take but this was a fun exercise. With the generation coming to a close and only 3 games that could even concievably end up making this look bad due to release before the new consoles now was as good a time as any to look back at the 8th generation which has been, despite the outrage machine that's always running, absolutely fantastic. The 8th generation has been so good my initial list had FORTY SIX games I thought were worthy of consideration. It was tough but here it is. I had quite a bit of footage for many of these but for several I needed to capture gameplay from Youtube. Those clips mostly already have watermarks but the links and channel names are below. Thanks to the RadBrad and Rabidretrospect for posting every game in the world all the way through. I don't watch their channels but they are a tremendous resource!
