I agree with GTA4 and MGS4, Mass effect came out last year, but it lived up to my expectation. Problem with GTA4 and MGS4 is that ALOT of people bought into the hype and whilst both are great games, they are far from perfect (as most would suggest they are) and they both didn't keep me hooked very long (MGS storyline is convoluted, yes. But pointlessly so, not to mention some of the cutscenes were just plain fan service in their length and didn't add much to the plot).
MGS4 is definitely not a bad game (as I said, it's great), but it was overhyped and is overrated (I enjoyed Snake Eater much more than this game).
I haven't played the others on the list.
