This has been a pretty awesome year, hasn't it? So many great games and so little time to play them all. Highlights for me have been...
Guitar Hero II with its excellent soundtrack and endless hours of fun
BioShock with its breathtaking story and memorable characters
Halo 3 with its timeless multiplayer and fitting end to the trilogy
The Orange Box with its great value for money and the genius that is Portal
Mass Effect with its 'massive' replay value and beautiful design
Super Mario Galaxy with its groundbreaking level design and gameplay
