1. Alan Wake
2. Dragon Quest IX
3. Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
4. Red Dead Redemption
5. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

Have to say I still havea lot of games on my "yet to play" list, like SMG2, Mass Effect2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction. Epic Mickey and DKCR are also promising. I doubt the #1 will change though. It's been a very long time such an amazing horror game has been released. It's close to Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil for me.

My list so far:

1- Mass Effect 2 (PC)

2- Super Mario Galaxy 2

3- Red Dead Redemption (PS3)

4- Kirby's Epic Yarn

5- Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)

Why not, all the great games are starting to come after Christmas January -May this year and the next for me.

1. Red Dead Redemption

2. Mass Effect 2

3. Alan Wake

4. Fallout: New Vegas

5. Halo: Reach

First year my 360 out did my ps3 after LBP2 was moved back, but hey I don't like driving simulators.

Count me in,  List is:

1. Final Fantasy 13

2.Bayonetta

3.Atelier Rorona (technically the english release came out this year)

4. Nier

5. Atelier Totori (or if they have to be english releases Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light)

Just so people know, the deadline is now January 10th (decided after some complaints!)

I shall also update the OP tomorrow, anyone else interested before then?

Also, OP updated!

However, I have hit a few "smags" with people who haven't bought 5 games this year! 

If this is the case, you may stil vote, and I'll count your number 1 as 5 points etc. going down through however many you put up. That make sense?

However, anyone who'd like to vote needs to let me know by the 8th December!

Don't go there man...

But you'd like to take part?

I wanna take part :D

They AREN'T in order:

1) Super Mario Galaxy 2

2) Halo Reach

3) Mass Effect 2

4) God of War III

5) Red Dead Redemption

Still waiting for GT5 and DKCR. I must say this has been an awesome year for the 3 consoles, I'm really proud of being a gamer in those times :D

I'm bolding for attention

Edit: Awe fuck it. I wanted to put ME2 because it was a newer IP I loved. Whereas MGS:PW is one of many games in the metal gear franchise. But after beating them both twice. PW has my heart. It's controls are a bit wonkey at times is my main complaint. But I like the story a lot more in PW mainly because it spends significantly more time on it's story. And some of the best parts of ME2 are in the DLC. And they're both fairly deep games.

1. Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker I'd rate 9.5 (Barely)

2. Mass Effect 2  I'd rate 9.5

3. Final Fantasy XIII I'd Rate 9.0

4. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light I'd Rate 9.0

5. Starcraft 2 (8.5)
