BTW, I wish we had a separate “handheld” category. I’m playing the hell out of FFTA2 and Advance Wars, but it’s hard to put them ahead of games like GTA4.

And I’m shocked that I haven’t played a single game on my PC this year (not counting the World of Goo lvl 1 preorder gift).

As awesome as TF2 is, it’s not awesome enough to come out 2 years in a row. It was Oct. 2007.

Here’s mine:
PC

  1. Mass Effect
  2. Fallout 3
  3. Left 4 Dead

CONSOLE

  1. The World Ends With You
  2. Dead Space
  3. No More Heroes

PC

Call it console.

Just FYI, due to the way instant-runoff works you can go ahead and vote for whatever nutty stuff you want. If the title doesn’t have the “oomph” it needs to survive a voting round as I tabulate the votes, it’s thrown out and your next selection is taken automatically.

CONSOLE

  2. FarCry 2
  3. Boom Blox

(I didn’t have a 3, I only played the two PC games this year, so I figure, why not shameless plug? I don’t do it often.)

CONSOLE

  1. Patapon
  2. Braid
  3. The World Ends With You

This was a great year for small games, and a relatively poor year for big games. Worth noting that I haven’t played Fable 2, Prince of Persia, or Deadspace yet.

Still though. My console entries were all both genius and innovative. I hope to see more of that in 2009, even if it continues to be relegated to small games.

CONSOLE

  1. Rock Band 2
  2. Gears of War 2
  3. Burnout Paradise

Dam your right, now I need to revise everything.

Weapon of Choice is totally going on that list though, partly because I haven’t played many console games better than it this year. Looking over my collection most the games I got area year old, egads!
