1. Gears of War

Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Epic Games
Released: November
Primary platform: Xbox 360
Sometimes, words fail. Superlatives don’t do justice to Gears of War, the game no one should be forced to read about and the one everyone should be forced to play. The third-person shooter offers gruesomely bloody warfare, a simple play style where the hero takes cover or dies, and a series of memorable moments piled on one after another. Its multiplayer options cement the game’s immortality; Gears of War is not only the best game of this year, it is the best game of an as-yet-undetermined number of years.

Nice list but I completely disagree. Medieval 2:total war has to take top spot. Where is this info from, is it your opinion? Its always hard choosing games of the year, everyone has their own favourite.
