30. Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis

Publisher: Rockstar Games
Developer: Rockstar San Diego
Released: May
Primary platform: Xbox 360
The collective snickering that emerged when Rockstar announced it was bringing ping-pong to the next generation of game consoles was silenced when Table Tennis came out. The game was gorgeous to look at and surprisingly deep in its mechanics. Odder still, its online play had—and this is no exaggeration—people playing ping-pong and enjoying it. These are truly days, as Paul Simon noted, of miracle and wonder.
