Assassin's Creed II

1. Assassin's Creed II

What can I say, I love to walk around and stab dudes. Wait, that doesn't sound right...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Some awesome set-piece moments in the game's single-player campaign and the extensive upgrades and unlocks in multiplayer put Modern Warfare 2 near the top of my list.

Borderlands

3. Borderlands

Even with the near non-existent narrative, Borderlands fulfills my loot addiction, with great success.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

4. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Amazing single player experience, fun multiplayer and co-op. What keeps this lower on my list are the few frustrations I had in certain levels. Much like 50 Cent and his hatred towards helicopters, I wish for every train I come across to one day be a smoldering pile of scrap.

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City

5. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City

The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony are great additions to Grand Theft Auto 4, but some of the controls, mainly shooting and flying, feel dated compared to other recently released games.

Brütal Legend

6. Brütal Legend

I loved the setting, story and characters. Too bad the RTS elements and controls keep this one out of my top five.

Halo 3: ODST

7. Halo 3: ODST

I'm still a closet Halo fan, so ODST was to me a nice little addition to the story.

inFamous

8. inFamous

Sucker Punch's new adventure game makes me want another Sly Cooper. Thankfully, this was a great substitute.

Shadow Complex

9. Shadow Complex

Nice Metroid/Castlevania inspired game. Look past all of the Orson Scott Card controversy and please, play this.

Red Faction: Guerrilla

10. Red Faction: Guerrilla

It's fun to destroy things, bro.
