I haven't played too many new games this year because I got a PS2 and got a lot of old games for it. So I find it hard to pick three.
Console games:
1. Super Smash Bros. Brawl. With near-infinite (re)playability, being one of the best-looking games on Wii, introducing great new elements and even deliciously looking cutscenes, this comes very close to the ultimate game.
2. No More Heroes. While it was lacking in the technical aspect, style and attitude go a long way.
3. Mario Kart Wii. A fun racing game with a lot of options and replay value.
Handheld game:
Don't have a handheld.
Award X:
Devil May Cry 3 as the most awesome action game I've seen since I played Resident Evil 4.
Honorable mentions for God of War and Metal Gear Solid 3.
I drink your milkshake.
