I didn't get a shot at LBP this year.
So, by default, I think Gears 2 will have to get the nod. I loved the single player campaign and while I think the MP has taken a step back in some regards from the first when it launched, it's still damned good.
Honorable mentions go to MGS4 and Fallout 3, two titles that had their faults but actually won me over (mostly) by the end.
Worst game goes to Wii Music. Good God. I spent a few hours with that "game" over Christmas and it irritated me to no end. That was probably magnified due to my having played loads of Rock Band with my nieces just minutes before I loaded that piece of shit into the Wii. Put the two games next to each other and Wii Music looks even worse. And don't pull that "casual" bullshit on me... Rock Band is pretty damned casual on its lower settings. My 8 year old niece was rocking the drums within minutes and beat almost every song put in front of her on easy.

PS. I still haven't bought Braid either. From the sounds of it, that game is right up my alley. I'll get around to it one of these days.
