Most of my favorite video games are from Japan.

Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Zelda, Katamari Damacy, Kingdom Hearts and the list goes on.

Can anyone tell me which American games are really good?
I can only think of God of War off the top of my head.

It's because I'm a game art student and I'll most likely be working in the game industry in America and I'd like to be able to be proud of what we make too.
I'm not USA pride or anything... I'm Asian, but I'd like to think we aren't getting owned by Japan at making games.

World Of Warcraft
God of War
Battlefield series
Call of Duty 3
Half Life 1 and 2
Counter Strike
etc.. cant think of all of it ontop of my head

Oh, cool. I think it's because I'm not that into first person shooters and I'm a fan of RPGs.
I really like Starcraft and Half Life/Counter Strike. You guys know any games that are like action adventure games made by America?

If you're into RPGs, there's not really much american teams have to offer over stuff from Square-Enix, Nippon Ichi, Bandai, and Namco.
