Bioware improve the Mass Effect formula in almost every way without sacrificing consistency with the last game.

2. BioShock 2

A great follow up made even sweeter with the release of the amazing Minerva's Den expansion/DLC.

Minecraft

3. Minecraft

Tapping into our primal need to break things apart and build them up again.

4. Alan Wake

An epic story that manages to feel hand-made in an age of soulless blockbusters.

Bayonetta

5. Bayonetta

Boobs and explosions with a knowing wink.

Rock Band 3

6. Rock Band 3

A game born from real love for the sub-genre of music games started with Guitar Hero. Likely to be the genre's swan song, atleast for the forseeable future.

Donkey Kong Country Returns

7. Donkey Kong Country Returns

All the artistry and design that Retro applied to Metroid Prime is applied just as successfully with Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

8. Super Mario Galaxy 2

It's so easy to take Mario games for granted. I've been playing them 20 years at this point so I always barrel through them at break-neck speed, rarely challenged.

Limbo

9. Limbo

Super Meat Boy

10. Super Meat Boy
