I thought if I did this now then I could keep updating it with this years games so come December I don't forget what I liked in January. :)
Also I'll leave every game I've played this year as an entry, so this won't be a 10 game long list sorry.
This is absolutely the game I have been waiting 5 years for. Love this game.
Brilliant game. Incredible characters and a well written dynamic story. Also nipples.
You just cannot beat Battlefield's style of multiplayer.
Great atmosphere, rewarding combat system, brilliant art style, and an absolutely massive game world.
Even though people call this just more of Portal that is by no means a bad thing. Fun puzzles, great characters and voicework, and a great sense of humour.
Big fucking purple dildo bats.
Even though this is just a rally game and can only really excel in two areas (graphics and gameplay) it is still the best rally game I have ever played. The cars all handle really well, even when doing that stupid gymkhana crap. The only downside is the lack of actual rally drivers. Ken Block is a twat.
I'm a sucker for being able to explore and the little details in this game are brilliant.
Slow paced, satisfying WW2 FPS, with a highly detailed, realistic physics model, that dictates exactly how the bullets travel. Basically, unless you aim properly, you aren't shooting anyone.
Addictive little part-roguelike, part-zelda-esque adventure game, part Super Smash TV 4-way shooter. The upgrades make this game really special.
Awesome game.
Again, I'm a sucker for exploring and loot, and this game has both by the bucket load. And the combat is really satisfying, even though I feel the analogue mode is pretty awkward and could do with being a lot more like Mount and Blade's combat.
Actually a really cool game, but will likely drop off the list come December.
The weird combination of Swenglish and the how insane this game can become definitely makes it some sort of contender for this.
Cool little Roguelike. I'm awful at them though so I've not played too much of it.
Good game in concept, but badly implemented.
Cool game, but I just couldn't get in to it.
Pretty generic sci-fi pro America FPS. Absolutely nothing compared to it's predecessor.
Fuck this game. I really can't believe Bioware thought this game was worthy of being a sequel to DA:O.
This game is shit.
