Brütal Legend starts out great but then deflates and collapses over itself.

That's kind of amazing. Aside from the first 15 minutes of RE5, I have not played a single one of the top 10.

Agreed. The RTS portions damn near ruined the whole game for me. I'd take it and Red Faction off and replace them with Modern Warfare 2 and Killzone 2. Otherwise I'd probably have all those other games on my list as well.

I'd have a real hard time singling out one of either Demon's Souls, DA: Origins or Uncharted 2 as my favorite game. I spent an unholy amount of time in U2 MP and the SP is still the best out of the three games. Demon's Souls was an amazing ride and Dragon Age was great too.

One day I want to have a discussion with you simply about what you want out of a game. I know there was one podcast about why you game and your answer was very interesting. You are interesting Foolz.

(Not picking on Little King's Story, simply that your tastes are everywhere)

HOLY SHIT!!! Epic year. This was last gen at it's peak. Sequels that reached their peaks, game ideas that were defining a generation. Every game in the top got over a 9 from me, i dont think I can say that of any year. The honorable mentions list is insane. Ridiculous year.
