Now that the dust has settled and all the AAA games are out, here's my pick of games of the year:

PS3 - Uncharted: Drakes Fortune - Best graphics on any console and the best mix of platforming and shooting yet. A game that would be very tough to do on 360 seamlessly

360 - Bioshock - Spiritual Sequel to the classic System Shock games. FANTASTIC Atmosphere

Wii - Super Mario Galaxy - Pure FUN

DS - Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - Would love the next Zelda on the Wii to use the same control scheme

PSP - Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters - An AAA PS2 game shrunk to PSP

Not picked a PC game as my PC is 2+ years old now and I rarely play PC games these days

PC... probably, as a whole, Orange Box. Or Bioshock.

Hmm I have yet to play Bioshock I can feel another purchase coming my way

PC - Call of Duty 4 & Orange Box

definitely NOT Crysis

Fellas:

DS: Zelda: Phantom Hour Glass

Wii: Have to go with Super Mario Galaxy with Metroid Prime 3 a close second.

As for music games: A no brainer here - Guitar Hero 3 on any console. The Wii wireless guitar is sweet.

Can't vote for the other consoles as I do not own.

Turok

Call of Duty 4. The most intense game ever!

Orange Box. Or Bioshock.

2 top games especially Bioshock. Assassins Creed is also very good.

Call of Duty 4. The most intense game ever!

Not bought any PC games since I've been here, but was thinking about buying CoD4.

Could you get away with a 'cheaper' version, or would you recommend the 'more expensive' version?

sweetchariot - Its a ps3 version so I'm not sure which PC version is which! FPS has always been my favourite genre, but COD4 establishes a new benchmark. Get it.

Yes, I was trying to be subtle and not get the thread shut down.

I will try the 'cheaper' version then and see how I get on.

Thanks.

Edit: due to slight misunderstanding of previous post.

I am a bit wierd, so my favourite of the year is Ufo:Extraterrestrials.

I loved X-com: Ufo defense ( or Ufo: Enemy Unknown in some place) from '93, and since. Excellent old school turn based startegy game, with great story line.

Finally this year we have a close remake, which is even better after installing some of the mods.

Sure it isnt a FPS, but I love it anyway.
