I'll take a stab at this:
 
10. Fire Emblem (GBA)
9. Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)
8. Bioshock
7. Advance Wars: Dual Strike
6. Civilization IV
5. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
4. Chrono Cross
3. Perfect Dark
2. Metroid Prime
1. Resident Evil 4

I love Demon's Souls, and am honestly pretty happy with that (even if it probably wouldn't be my personal GOTY... but it would be close)

And Uncharted 2 is listed as number 10, below Scribblenauts at number 7, and Geo-Defense Swarm at number 6. Not sure I'd pay much attention to this list.

Well that kind of sucks donkey nuts, but thanks for clearing it up nonetheless!

So if a particular lizard isn't respawning, and I've killed all the bosses in that world, then I'm guessing it will never come back?

Does anyone know if the crystal lizards ever respawn? If so, exactly how does that work?

Absolutely not. There's basically no story to these games, so you wouldn't be missing anything in that regard. And in terms of gameplay, L4D2 pretty much negates the first one- it does everything the first one did, but more.

You know, looking back, I can't think of a single 360 exclusive that wasn't an arcade game that I really liked this year... weird.
