What about Ninja Gaiden Black? Even though it really is a rehash of a year-old title, it is a fantastic (albiet difficult) game. What about DOA:U? Phantom Dust? Forza? Jade Empire? While none of these games may not be for everyone, but at least one of them should be considered a must-have. You mentioned that MS didn’t lock up any must-have exclusives this year.

I haven't played many PC games this year, and Guild Wars is one of those few. Mercenaries and RE4 are also great (the former got very little attention, which is unfortunate). I did not play AC:WW yet, but if it is anything like the original, then I believe it is as good as you say. Your list is an excellent one.

It's a pretty cool survival-adventure game for the DS. Nice list; have you played Lost in Blue yet? It’s a pretty cool survival-adventure game for the DS.

(I fixed the name to inclued "Instincts") It is a great game, I just had more fun with Mercenaries. Troy- I've resisted Civilization ever since I saw a friend of mine play it for over 12 hours straight. I didn't watch the whole time, but he was in my research group and his office had two computers. I was in and out of the office that day and he was playing it when I got there and he was playing when I left, with a single break for lunch. Any game that can grip someone like that would be too much for me to handle. ag- Farcry was my runner-up for Xbox.

I agree with all of it, except for the XBox. Did you guys ever play Farcry: Instincts? That is my Xbox game of the year. Jade Empire <i>was</i> a huge disappointment. I don't think I even got out of the village. Should have known whenI got it for $20 a Target only two months after its release. Good list. I agree with all of it, except for the XBox.
