Borderlands

1. Borderlands

This game came out of nowhere; as I saw the Giantbomb Quicklook, thought it looked cool, and am still playing it.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

2. Batman: Arkham Asylum

It's Batman.

'Splosion Man

3. 'Splosion Man

The ending of the game speaks for the excellence of this platformer.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Yeah...

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City

5. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City

The Ballad of Gay Tony and Lost and Damned were both great with the first being a little better. Both stole many hours and great additions to an already long game.

Battlefield 1943

6. Battlefield 1943

I love Battlefield, and put way too many hours into this.

Halo 3: ODST

7. Halo 3: ODST

Not the biggest Halo fan but I really dug the atmosphere. The glitchness of the save system and some achievements, not so much.

The Secret of Monkey Island

8. The Secret of Monkey Island

The Xbox Live Arcade version came out this year and was the first time I played the game. Witty and just fun to play. Like a fine wine, it aged very well.

Left 4 Dead 2

9. Left 4 Dead 2

Aw man, this one time, my buddy Keith...

1 vs 100

10. 1 vs 100

This game was great during the summer when nothing was out and when time needed wasting.
