Barring some sort of crazy surge, I think the end results is pretty easy to predict (boo-urns ;)

Reading through the first few pages, it surprises me ho there are clearly a lot of single-console users here. I guess it shouldn't given the rampant system wars, but I guess I've forgotten one of the core reasons that makes people so passionate about a particular console.

3. The Last Guy

4. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia

5. Fallout 3 (PC)

MM9 was such an overrated game it didn't even make my list. Playing Mega Man 3 again after 9 made me see the truth. Bionic Commando is clearly superior.

Seeing MGS4 and LBP at the top puts a big smile on my face. I don't care who your allegiance is to, these games deserve to be honored. I'm glad that most of us have manned up and are being rational here.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed was a remake wasn't it? I think more people played Mega Man 9 simply because it was a brand new game in the series, whereas BCR was "just" a remake. MM9 was also on all three consoles, where BCR was only on the PSN and XBLA.

Elbrain

Suckin' dicks since '66
This list is tough but I only doing top 5.

1. MGS4
2. Fallout 3
3. Burnout Paradise
4. DMC4
5. Street Fighter 2 HD remix.
 
I've not gotten through a few games this year yet but I'll go with what I have:

1. Gears of War 2
2. No More Heroes
3. Fallout 3
4. Final Fantasy IV
5. Fable 2
6. PES 2009
7. LittleBigPlanet
8. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
9. Bangai-O Spirits
10. Boom Blox

I've not played Resistance 2 yet (I do own it) - I've just got my PS3 and I'm playing through the first one at the minute - I'm enjoying that a lot so the sequel would likely make my list unless it's gone radically backwards.

I've also not played MGS4, NG2, Dead Space, DMC4, GTA4 (own), World of Goo, de Blob, Wario Land, etc and these all look like games I'd enjoy and would possibly crack this list at some level.

edit: forgot Left 4 Dead. Only played the demo (which I loved). I reckon that this, MGS4, Resistance 2, Dead Space would all be certain to crack my top 10. Oh man, forgot Mother 3. I have it ready to go, that would make it as well.

edit2: balls, forgot Castlevania: OoE.

Man, what a year actually. Great games all over the place. Regardless of what platforms you own.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Wow, I'm really surprised over the fact that DMC4 and GTAIV is placed so well here on GAF were both games are hated!

DMC4 deserves it though.

There's nothing rational about MGS4 love. It's fanboyism.
Or maybe, just maybe the game is actually pretty damn good and has a great story. Just saying. To each his own though.

DMC4 deserves it though.

With GTA, it's more a case of a VERY vocal and obnoxious minority. I haven't really paid attention to the DMC4 fallout, but I thought it was OK.
