Fallout 3

1. Fallout 3

Spent much time with this. Still love it.

Gears of War 2

2. Gears of War 2

Amazing look, great campaign and HORDE MODE!

Valkyria Chronicles

3. Valkyria Chronicles

Not really into anime anymore, but this game grabbed a hold of me, loved the art, the story, and the weird realtime/strategy hybrid gameplay.

Dead Space

4. Dead Space

Great new take on survival horror. Nice controls vs Resident Evil.

Grand Theft Auto IV

5. Grand Theft Auto IV

Cool game, the world felt amazing. The game however had too much tedium and difficulty wasn't balanced well. Couldn't finish.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot

6. Condemned 2: Bloodshot

One of the best intros I've seen in a game. I think they took a few mis-steps with this game, but I still really enjoyed it overall.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

7. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

Awesome game, and really cool leaderboard chase with friends thrown right in your face at the start of the game.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

8. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Not the best, but the story, graphics and action were all great.

Left 4 Dead

9. Left 4 Dead

Lots of fun coop with this game. Killing zombies is fun, even if the reactions and graphics aren't the best.

LittleBigPlanet

10. LittleBigPlanet

Amazing concept and execution on build your own game. The single player game itself was ok. I wish I had more time to mess around with the creation aspect.
