Hey, what about Portal or Team Fortress 2?  ;D

Portal was great... I could care less about Team Fortress 2... Not really into non-storyline based multiplayer games...
Well, ya, King's Quest is on Earth. Daventry is very old city from a long time ago. It's in ruins now and people aren't quite sure exactly where it used to be. There are some archaeologists searching through the ruins, they think they know its Daventry. But its somewhere on Earth."-Roberta Williams http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Daventryisearth.ogg

I can't really categorize these in years or make a top 5, but here's something in no special order:

Deus Ex
- Story was stupid conspiracy crap, but the amount of freedom the game makers gave you was amazing.

Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis
- Even more freedom with the fully explorable islands. Heck, the last mission of the game is to travel across the island to a bar. Not to mention a realistic view on war. Plus it had a nice soundtrack.

Just Dance
- Last christmas me and my whole family played this. I'm talking about my sisters 2-year old son, my 86-years old grandmother... Everybody. I have yet met another game to manage that.

LocoRoco 2
- A game for people who like to see blobs of fat with eyes and mouths singing like little children. Feel free to judge me.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
- This is what you get when you remove the horror cliches from Silent Hill. A deep character driven story that perhaps for the first time in video games tackles sexuality in a mature way.

Modern Warfare 2
- Extremely tight story that seems to be completely misunderstood by the folks who just wanted to see russians and yanks fighting. A descent to madness you might say. If Half-Life 2 felt like a game that had a good story in it, this felt like a story that had a good game in it. No filler at all and everything is there for a reason. Something that the makers of Black Ops didn't quite understand.

No One Lives Forever 2
- I didn't really like the first one, but the second one hit the spot. I had to tie this with Soldier of Fortune 2, but NOLF2 felt more refined. I mean in how many games you have to chase down a little mime on a unicycle while standing on the shoulders of a scotsman riding a tricycle.

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days
- A shooter game with a story about how violence brings only more violence? Nobody gets what they want, everybody's a prick and even the story just ends on what can be considered a high note since there is no end to the cycle.

Odin Sphere
- Beautiful. Can't really think of anything else to say.

A Boy and His Blob
- I've had a crush on WayForward ever since this one.

Endless Ocean
- You have to feel really down to understand its appeal.

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
- A war game that in the end is about post-traumatic stress and the need of friends to survive?
