  1. Portal
  2. Bioshock
  3. Forza Motorsport 2
  4. Mass Effect
  5. Half-Life 2 ep 2
  6. Call of Duty 4
  7. Rock Band
  8. God of War 2
  9. Crackdown

There’s some notable stuff missing, but I haven’t played Super Mario Galaxy enough to form an opinion. Portal is unassailable in its perfection. Bioshock still has me pondering its story/narrative, with moments that still pop into my mind. Forza Motorsport is a great sim, where you can actually powerslide and do donuts (no donuts in GT4). Mass Effect is flawed but wonderful in its epic storyline. Half-Life 2 ep 2 had the craziest final showdown in recent memory. Call of Duty 4 crossed the line into modern war, both literally and emotionally. Rock Band is awesome fun, but isn’t too great when playing solo. God of War 2 takes everything from the first game and kicks it up a notch. And Crackdown does everything right that Grand Theft Auto does wrong…
