Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

1. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Hands-down, best single game of the year, with a solid multiplayer to boot.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

2. Batman: Arkham Asylum

Fantastic single player experience, an unexpected gem. Very reminiscent of Bioshock

Dragon Age: Origins

3. Dragon Age: Origins

While still a formulaic Bioware RPG, the depth and features create an amazing (if not familiar) story.

Brütal Legend

4. Brütal Legend

I'm a die-hard Metal Fan, so this is a no-brainer for me. Fantastic story-writing as well.

inFamous

5. inFamous

This game re-set the bar for open-world superhero games. Should NOT be missed for any PS3 owner.

Resident Evil 5

6. Resident Evil 5

While not as revolutionary as its predecessor, the Co-op experience in this game proved second-to-none

Assassin's Creed II

7. Assassin's Creed II

While not free from certain bugs, this game improved on nearly every aspect of the first. A stellar example of how to address fan criticism.

Shadow Complex

9. Shadow Complex

It's a fully-realized HD metroid-vania. There's not much more I could ask for there.

Borderlands

10. Borderlands

LOOOOOOOOOT! (and with 4 people!)
