1. Red Faction Guerilla. Why? The destruction gameplay was truly next-gen and something sorely missed from every other game
2. CoD 4. It started the modern MP. No game has been this influential since Halo: CE.
3.Demon/Dark Souls. An actual evolution in the RPG 3rd person genre, not a step backwards e.g. Skyrim & Oblivion.
4. Mirror's Edge. Buggy but actually different, great score and very immersive.
5. Amnesia: DD. Hello nightmares. Proving that budget & graphics are second to game design.
Everything else that I can think of was just more of the same from the last gen in better graphics.
