These are games that won't be making the game of the year lists, as they were released in 2009 or earlier. However, I played and enjoyed them for the first time in 2010

For me the best Zelda adventure since Wind Waker. Made my summer and absolutely loved it.
Criminally overlooked by me in 2008, this turned out to be as good as all the previous titles in the series. It would have been my driving game of the year in 2008 had I played it.
Probably my favourite Rock Band game even though it is very un-hip to say so. It has the best "career" mode of any of the plastic instrument games, and some great animation on the songs.
After playing Civ 5 I ventured back to Civ Rev to discover it is probably still my favourite Civ game. The fast pace and trimmed tech-tree make for a entertainingly energetic experience. Ventured onto the iOS version and found it to be excellent on both iPad and iPhone.
Only a fool plays a football management sim almost a year after its release; but that's exactly what I did. Stat heaven and something to play on my Macbook on the launch of OS X Steam.
