Modern Warfare: 2

1. Empire Total War - From Day of release I couldn't play it for 7 months

2. Alan Fake - Their Pushing back the release until 2012 hoping that the world will end before they need to go gold

3. Armed Assault 2 - For once a developer worked on graphics instead of spoiling gameplay, but they went too far and now the graphics kill the gameplay

4. Left 4 Dead 2 - In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger "Get 2 da choppaaaaaaaa!"

5. Dragon Rising - Just not enough content

6. World at War - With mod tools soon after release and countless patches/additions and tutorials, mod-ability is easy

7. Modern Warfare 2 - Snowmobiles... "what else is there? " Did we mention we have SNOWMOBILES?!

8. Borderlands - Surprised that more people are not talking about this game, while repetitive it offers far superior level design, content, exploration and time you get out of it than Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 combined.

9. Empire Total War - Full graphics is easy, but full graphics when Online on multiplayer is a PC/Game Killer.

10. Modern Warfare 2 - They went backwards with their technology it's as simple as that.

11. Empire Total War - a 10 hour campaign ruined by a dodgy save file - with developers taking months to fix it only to say... "better start again".

12. Modern Warfare 2 - When WAW was released everyone complained that it was a rip-off of MW - now MW2 is out everyone is raping it. Hypocritical games spawn hypocritical gamers. The gamers who signed the petition and then bought the game are pointless moronic, indoctrinated fools that have about as much thought power as my left testicle - I do how ever have faith that IW will give out dedicated servers and/or mod tools of some kind eventually.

13. Resident Evil 5 - It was puzzling that there were no puzzles in a supposed-to-be puzzle horror game

1. Vista Ultimate
2. BF3
3. MW2
4. L4D2
5. Quake Wars
6. CODWAW
7. MW2
8. Not really a new release but new patch: BF2 patch 1.5
9. Crysis, still cant run it at full wack!
10. MW2
11. MW2
12. MW2
13. ARMA2, took me a while to understand the commands

I respectfully disagree that Borderlands was a "sleeper" hit. It got a good amount of favorable press prior to release.

I agree with Messiah on Borderlands. I bought it on Amazon when it was on discount for Black Friday, and I can't get enough of it. Fallout 3 has better character development, but Borderlands is just a lot more fun with its art style, quests, weapons, humor, and COOP!
