• Dead Space
• Batman Arkham Asylum
• Super Meat Boy
• Starcraft 2
• Torchlight
• Halo Reach
• GoW 3
• Castlevania LoS

• CoD Black Ops
• Bayonetta

Crysis
Europa Universalis III: Heir to the throne
Minecraft
Anno 1404 (Dawn of Discovery in US)
Football Manager 2007

In no particular order.

Crysis (closest game yet to a fully interactive action environment)

COD 4 (It was a revelation at the time, but I wish fewer games copied it. The formula has gotten stale.)

GoW3 (I usually hate quicktime events, but made an exception here and loved it.)

NFS: Shift (I'm not into technical racing. Shift is the best racing game I've played for visceral thrills.)

Portal (work of genius.)

Braid (absolutely beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent piece of art.)

BF:BC2 (Probably the objectively best shooter on consoles)

Halo 3 (I know a lot of people hate this one, but I had a blast and played through it multiple times).

no particular order
muramasa: the demon blade
demon's souls
sin & punishment: star successor
deadly premonition
dodonpachi dai-fukkatsu black label
bayonetta
mushihime-sama futari ver. 1.5
amnesia: the dark descent

In no real order

• Vanquish
• Halo 3/Reach
• Super Mario Galaxy 2
• No More Heroes
• Crysis/Crysis Warhead
• Mirror's Edge (PC version)
• Dragon Age: Origins (PC version)
• BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
• The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
• Bayonetta

That should be close enough I'd say. I would have put Okami on that list, but it originally debuted on the PS2 and not the Wii so I'd rather not count it I guess.

no particular order
muramasa: the demon blade
demon's souls
sin & punishment: star successor
deadly premonition
dodonpachi dai-fukkatsu black label
bayonetta
mushihime-sama futari ver. 1.5
amnesia: the dark descent

Some-Mist

What's Dodonpachi available on? I imported Mushihimesama Futari for the 360 and I'm considering doing the same for ESPgaluda II Black Label, but I'm curious to know what platform Dodonpachi is on. Is it a US release or a region free import like the other two Cave shooters?

In no particular order I would say...

Uncharted 2 Among Thieves (Great single player, characters, story, amazing action scenes with varied environments)
Assassin's Creed 2 (This is the only game I have ever got a platinum trophy for)
God Of War 3 (Epic... just pure EPIC)
Forza MotorSport 3/Gran Turismo 5/NFS Shift(All of theseare just fantastic games in my opinion)
Splinter Cell Double Agent/Splinter Cell Conviction (I just love Splinter Cell games)

Honorable mentions would be Heavenly Sword, MGS4, GTAIV, CrackDown 2, LBP 1 and 2, Mafia 2. Could think of a lot more but not gonna bother

Least enjoyed games this gen would be Bioshock, Gears Of War, James Bond 007 KidneyStone, X-Blades, Prince Of Persia Forgetten Sands, I'm also missing a lot of games here as well.
