1)uncharted 2, simply flawless on every level, a technical achievement and bench mark for the industry, plus it has heart, the charcters are memorable and i still play the multi-player to this day.
2) mass effect 2, the most engaging and humanistic video game characters ever created i lost three people in this game, and i felt bad for everyone of them.
3)Metal gear solid 4, the reason i bought a ps3, it suffers from lengthy overdone cutscenes, but you know what, who cares, i wanted those lengthy cutscenes becuase i needed to know how solid snake spends his last moments on the battlefield.
Honorable mentions, LBP, dead space, gears of war, and valkyria chronicles.
