Here's my list; unfortunately didn't get to play some games I really wanted to (MGS4, Mirror's Edge, Persona 4... stupid PS2 breaking down), but I did play some great games this year, specially on DS.

1. Mother 3 (GBA)
2. World of Goo (PC/Wii)
3. The World Ends With You (DS)
4. Final Fantasy IV (DS)
5. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
6. Chrono Trigger DS (DS)
7. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS)
8. Audiosurf (PC)
9. Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS)
10. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (DS)

Special mentions:
> Trackmania Nations Forever (PC)
> Bangai-O Spirits (DS)
> Megaman 9 (Wii)
> Space Invaders Extreme (DS)
> Okami (Wii)
> Korg DS-10 (DS)
> Assasin's Creed (PC)
> Mario Kart Wii (Wii)
> Rhythm Tengoku (DS) - This would be on the main list, but since it's coming out next year on the US, I think it belongs to that list rather than this one.

Edit: Damn, forgot about Space Invaders Extreme and Bangai-O. Making lists is difficult.
Edit 2: And now forgot FFIV... that's gotta go into the main list so Trackmania gets off the list.
 
1. Mirror's Edge
2. The World Ends With You
3. Persona 4
4. Bangai-O Spirits
5. No More Heroes
6. Professor Layton and the Curious Village
7. Chrono Trigger

9. Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
10. Mega Man 9

There's still stuff that came out this year that I'll only be able to play in 2009. Oh well, can't be helped.
 
Just a few words for the not so obvious...

1. Dead Space - Best atmosphere in a game this gen, and the biggest surprise for me. Absolutely addicting gameplay and a pretty interesting narrative. Also its got a few gameplay innovations that I think a few games will be copying later.

2. Fable 2
3. Fallout 3
4. Gears of War 2
5. Left 4 Dead
6. Grand Theft Auto IV
7. Soul Calibur IV
8. Mirrors Edge
9. Braid
10. Prince of Persia
 
Fallout 3
Lost Odyssey
Dead Space
Fable 2
Farcry 2
Gears of War 2
Prince of Persia
Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway
Valkyria Chronicles
