#1 - Super Mario Galaxy - This game alone, showed Mario still can make an impact with his platforming genius. In a once thriving genre, Galaxy showed that there is still potential for even greater heights.
#2 - Mass Effect 2 - Out of all the games in of the best trilogies of all-time, Mass Effect 2 stood out the most to me and really entertained me from beginning to end (sorry 3). It polished the established gameplay aspects of the original and further expanded upon the universe while furthering Shepard's story. Getting to know your comrades, fighting through the trenches, and having the feeling of something bigger is happening is a wonderful experience.
#3 - Batman Arkham Asylum - Usually licensed games are not a good idea. However, I really appreciate what Rocksteady did to make Batman and his universe look and feel like they were from the TV shows and the comics. The combat was pretty cool and the atmosphere made it for me.
#4 - Wii Sports - While the novelty of motion controls has long died down, I think it's still amazing that this particular game really caught on with all gamers alike, especially those from a new audience. I think it brought a lot people who may have never played a game together with gamers. The gameplay was intuitive and the design was inviting to all people. It's not a technical marvel to look at nor has it created a long-term trend. However, for its generation, it was something to behold and it brought families together like no other game could before or maybe even after its release.
That's all I have for now..since I haven't played a lot of games consistently due to doing other things.
