Fable II, but I probably haven't played anywhere near enough games this year. It's great though - I even liked the ending.

Not enough Rock Band love in here.
The amount of time spent on it, and the amount of fun I've had on it, with and without mates, makes it an easy choice.
Until Rock Band 2, probably.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

I'm probably the only person on here who thinks that, though.

Fallout 3 is up there, but i'd say Fable 2 is better.

Probably something like

1. Fable 2
2. Fallout 3
3. Bionic Commando Rearmed

Rock Band is definitely my game of the year so far. I'm sure Rock Band 2 will easily change that. :P

There have been plenty of great games throughout the year so it would be hard to think of where to place them. At least I know which game will be at the very bottom, though.

So far I'd say the following are in contention.

1. Valkyria Chronicles
2. Little Big Planet
3. Metal Gear Solid 4
4. Fable II
5. WipEout HD
6. Star Ocean First Departure

The wife says these are her games of the year:

1. Fable II
2. Civ Revolution
3. Lego Batman
4. Little Big Planet

Little Big Planet or Mirrors Edge may change my mind, but at the moment it has to be Fable 2.

I'm getting into Fallout 3 now...but its not a contender.

I was pretty disappointed with Fable 2.

Fallout 3 is looking much better. Haven't had much chance to play, but loving the couple of hours I've had.

I suspect Little Big Planet and Mirror's Edge to be contenders too.

GameCentral's opinion stopped mattering when it ceased being Digitiser and turned to gooseberry fool.

So far, even as a MGS nut AND a former Pro Evo stalwart, I'd say FIFA09. It's just so complete it's crazy.

Amazing graphics, amazing commentary, amazing gameplay, amazing licenses, amazing online, amazing features. It's. Just. Brilliant.

The list™:

1. FIFA 09
2. MGS4
3. GTA IV
4. Battlefield: Bad Company

Fable II by quite some distance. Then TWEWY. Then...I dunno. Loads of stuff in contention for third, and Mirror's Edge could yet break in.

Oh, yeah. Gears 2, probably.
