An interesting statistic: this year, more than half of the points in the rankings are outside the top ten. Last year, it was less than 40%.
I say that's healthy and a positive thing. Broader interests and better games all around.
 
1. Left 4 Dead
2. Braid
3. Gears of War 2
4. Warhawk: Broken Mirror (it's an expansion. I saw it listed in the OP, so I figured I could vote for it)
5. MGS4

The Mighty Boosh of course. :D

Hey Ani, I noticed you listed Rock Band with "(EU)" next to it. But keep in mind that Rock Band didn't come out on the Wii in North America until June 22, 2008. So it should qualify for the Wii lists.
 
1. Dead Space
2. Left 4 Dead
3. Gears of War 2
4. Fable II
5. Ninja Gaiden II
6. Mirror's Edge
7. Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

2. Gears 2
3. Braid
4. Mirror's Edge
5. Grand Theft Auto 4
6. Left 4 Dead
7. Fable 2
8. Professor Layton

I, sadly, haven't gotten in enough time with Fallout, Prince of Persia, or MGS4 to vote for them in good conscience, though I imagine all three would be contenders if I had. It doesn't look like there's enough time left for me to hold out on voting any longer. December 30th is really early to end this. :(
 
1) Persona 4
2) Professor Layton and the Curious Village
3) Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations
4) Fallout 3
5) Mario Kart Wii
6) Audiosurf

I didn't play too many (new) games this year even taking into account that I don't have any of the HD systems. However, I also didn't include games that I feel don't deserve a place on the list.

I agree with this.

Me too. Why so early, Ani? I still have another week off to catch up on all these great games :p

Because there will never be enough time for people to play everything. There's still people who haven't played games from 2007. I'm toying around with the idea of a "Game of the Generation" thread, but I'm wondering how much time I need to let the PS2 die and for people to catch up with the older stuff.

I just finished Fable 2. Enjoyed it more than I thought during the last parts of it. If I wanted to be a pain in the ass I'd switch l4d and fable around in my vote. But it's the difference of 1 point so I don't think I'll bother.
 
I'm still trying to play catch up this generation. Too many games from this year for me to get through to honestly make a list this year aside from pretty much Metal Gear Solid 4 taking my top spot.

Too bad it won't count unless you add a 3rd!

Just list Left 4 Dead a few more times...just in case!
 
I really didn't have time to think this through. :(

But I just wanted to add my votes for some games I loved.

1. Etrian Odyssey 2
2. The World Ends With You
3. Disgaea DS (would've said PSP, but it came out last year so eh)
4. Castlevania OoE
5. Final Fantasy IV DS
6. Professor Layton and the Curious Village
7. Chrono Trigger DS

Still. A lot of people got games over Christmas, and five days is hardly enough time play each sufficiently. A week and a half? That would have been perfect.

Yeah I had to cram in extra time with Soul Calibur 4 and de Blob earlier today in order to make my list. I didn't even get a chance to try Sonic Chronicles, though =(

Not to mention all the games I want to buy with the infusion of cash I got last week. Tales of Symphonia and Vesperia, I would have voted for you!

Yeah well I already added the original list and I don't remember what it was and you didn't keep the original list so the original list stays.
