I also really enjoyed the Western focused Christian and Pagan elements to Lords of Shadow. The game felt much more grounded than any other game in the series (as it's usually more like a smorgasbord of monsters from every facet of folklore), and for that, every new step in his world was incredibly intriguing. The atmosphere is really one of the best I've experienced this generation.
I kinda feel like a jerk for not having it in my top 5 (it's number six)... but then again... those five games are incredible.
And come on, you know you want to get the Yeti up there in your favorite Monsters...
