1. Batman: Arkham AsylumBatman: Arkham Asylumhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Batman_Arkham_AsylumOpens wiki page

The best time I've had playing games this year was Batman: Arkham asylum. Sneaking, stalking,fighting, puzzles, springing taps, challenges, platforming, traps, drama and more puzzles all serve to form a delectable gaming parfait (or perhaps a lasagna) of layered wonders. The game is comprehensively speaking my game of the year.

2. Uncharted 2: Among ThievesUncharted 2: Among Thieveshttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Uncharted_2_Among_ThievesOpens wiki page

Alost a flawless game with significant multiplayer tacked on. I liked Batman overall just a little bit more but this was an incredible purchase and left my jaw hanging several times. I guess the ball is in Epics court now to top this with their next Gears of War game.

3. Shadow ComplexShadow Complexhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Shadow_ComplexOpens wiki page

2.5D Metroidvania goodness in a downloadable form restores my faith in game developers. This was one of my favorite surprises to come from XboxLive Arcade.

Blowing shit up on Mars is fun. Blowing shit up on Mars is fun. Blowing shit up on Mars is fun. Blowing shit up on Mars is fun. Blowing shit up on Mars is fun. Blowing shit up on Mars is fun. Blowing shit up on Mars is fun. Blowing shit up on Mars is fun. Blowing shit up on Mars......

5. Halo 3: ODSTHalo 3: ODSThttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Halo_3_ODSTOpens wiki page

I got $20 i Toys R' Us giftcards and a janky action figure as incen tives tobuy thisgame. I hated the dated look of the charcater's faces, resented resognizable TV personalities as promninat voices but other wise really enjoyed a round of the same old covenant killin' with a new coat of paint on it. Loved the music. Missed dual wielding...it was kind of short but for $40 (if you ingore the $20 giftcard that came with it) and with Halo3 online content collected and with the new Firefight mode this really hit the spot and made me happy. Couch coop is still awesome.

6. Resident Evil 5Resident Evil 5https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Resident_Evil_5Opens wiki page

Best Coop game I've played in a long while. I'm kind of pissed about them tacking lava on at the very end though.

7. New Super Mario Bros. WiiNew Super Mario Bros. Wiihttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/New_Super_Mario_Bros_WiiOpens wiki page

I know that this is virtually a more colorful Mario World remake but the nostalgia worked. Coop is not coop.

8. BorderlandsBorderlandshttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/BorderlandsOpens wiki page

2nd Best coop game I've payed in a long while.

9. inFamousinFamoushttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/inFamousOpens wiki page

A riff on Crackdown that uses Spider-Man wall crawling as a solution for explorational movement. the characters suck and the story is quite stupid but the expereinece is fun. If you could use guns, steal cars, and blow up buildings it would be nearly perfect.

10. Assassin's Creed IIAssassin's Creed IIhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Assassins_Creed_IIOpens wiki page

This is essentially what Assassin's Creed promised to be. And it's about damned time.
