As for me, I'm thinking New Super Mario Bros Wii might be my game of the year. It's not perfect by any means, but honestly, I feel like this year was filled with many great games, and very few amazing games. Out of all of them though, New Super Mario Bros Wii is the one I see myself still playing in 20 years. That, and the Bit.Trip games.
New super mario bros is on my to buy list for sure! and I fully expect to love it!
I have to agree that the year hasn't produced as many amazing games as past years although I do think I could qualify the uncharted singleplayer as amazing.
And Afrowalrus (awesome pic btw) I do agree that resident evil 5 was a dissapointement after 4 but I still had an excellent time playing throught it 3 times with 3 different friends. I honeslty dont see it dropping from my top ten list but if one of those has to go then it would be the one to go.
Also, welcome!
Other than that your list looks nice. Arkham Asylum always makes me happy.
Also, while on the subject of music games (I'm a big music gamer) GH5 isn't a Best Of title but I think deserves honorable mentioning for bringing the series out of the shitstorm of Neversoft-era Guitar Hero games and onto equal footing with Rock Band. It kinda shows NSoft does learn from it's mistakes (most of the time).
But I do think TB RB has a perfect setlist and visually takes the music game to another level but yes the lack of flexibility is a shame.
You are right on GH5, the ability to play whatever instrument you want is a brilliant idea and it is actually the best from a design point of view. I just dont think the setlist is really all that good.
And all my friends are beatlemaniacs so its all they want to play!
Best RPG - This is a tie, depending on the type of RPG you like.
Combat/Action centered = DEMON'S SOULS
Story/Character centered = Dragon Age
Best Shooter - Tie again
Multiplayer Centered - MW2
Co-op Centered - Borderlands
Best Sports Game - MLB: The Show, best graphics I've seen in any game in a while.
Best PS3 Game: Toss up Demon's Souls and Uncharted 2.
Best XBOX 360 game: I guess ODST, sorry I don't play HALO.
Best Action Game: Uncharted 2
Best New IP: Borderlands or Demon's Souls
Game of the Year: Too tough to pick one but IMO it's between
Borderlands
Demon's Souls
Uncharted 2
Dragon Age
