It's difficult to choose a top 10 this gen but my take:

Disagree:

GTA IV: It was a step back for the series and actually rather boring.
Super Mario Galaxy 2: First one was amazing but I don't really see what the second brought to the table
Bioshock: Was a very good game and impressive early gen game but was really a toned down version of System Shock 2
Little Big Planet: Revolutionary in terms of user generated content on consoles, but not sure the game mechanics warrant top 10 of the gen.

Agree:

Uncharted 2: Improved on the first, had solid multiplayer and was a well-polished tps.
Super Mario Galaxy: Did some amazing stuff for a 3D platformer
Orange Box: Best value package of the gen. Half-Life 2 alone warrants this being on the list let alone Portal & Team Fortress 2
Mass Effect 2: A good mix of shooter and RPG elements with strong character based storylines.
Skyrim: I think I actually prefer Oblivion, but Skyrim did a fantastic job of fixing the faults Oblivion had in a good open world RPG.

I've still got to play Arkham City but I would add to the list Deus Ex Human revolution and Assassins Creed 2.
