If it was a console game, I would have to say Viva Pinata, I remember picking it up for only a few bucks, thinking it's probably not a good game.
Got home, played it, 12 hours later... CRAP WORK!

On the PC I would have to say Sins of a Solar Empire, that game can suck the life/hours away with ease.

Jeanne D'Arc.

The PSP had a lot of great niche games that sort of fell by the wayside. I hope it gets its due praise in the coming years.

Wolfenstein - solid shooter with an open-world feel and some terrific boss battles

Epic Mickey - smart platformer with some light RPG elements and fantastic art direction

Killzone Liberation - isometric third-person shooter with great mechanics and level design

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure - one of the most challenging, most clever, and best adventure games around

Third Birthday. The story was bad but entertaining in a videogamey sort of way (opposite of what parasite eve is though), but the gameplay was fun with a lot of interesting mechanics. Music was amazing.

Trails in the Sky. This is underrated by critics not fans (fans rate it quite highly). My favorite overall JRPG in last 10 years other than Persona 3 FES, and TWEWY.

This.

Agreed! Epic Mickey had its problems, but its strengths more than outweighed any shortcomings.

Forgot to mention Valkyria Chronicles... Has anyone played that, or would recommend it?

There are many, but I'll restrict it to the ones that scored less then 80 on metacritic.

Majin and the forsaken kingdom: Solid action adventure / 3D platformer.

Knytt underground: Great 2D platformer with a huge map to explore

Shaun White snowboarding: Best use of balance board.

3D dot game heroes: Great old style rpg

El Shaddai: Ascension of the metatron: One that sticks with you.

Papa & Yo: Very emotional personal story telling with great level design.

The unfinished swan: Only left me wanting more.

Tokyo Jungle: Extremely addictive

Silent Hill: Downpour: The middle act was pretty much perfect for for horror adventure type game.

Pixeljunk 4AM: fascinating experience with 2 move controllers.
