What were your top two games of 06

1.) Oblivion.
2.) Not Gears of War, that's for sure. Overrated by a good point, point-and-a-half even. Maybe if I'd ever get around to it, it'd be Twilight Princess. Also, just got Viva Pinata yesterday, a candy-stuffed dark horse that got a critical reception far from the repeated whacks to the midsection that I thought it would.* So who knows how that will go.

Nothing quite as mind-blowing in '06 as Resident Evil 4 in '05.

I'm already penciling in Mass Effect for 2007 Game of the Year. But the competition will be stiff, and it will make gamers stiff...as in, from not moving, of course. Heh.

*--And that's my 'local fishwrap movie critic' groan-inducing, vaguely fey-sounding 'pull quote' sentence for this month.
 
Gears of War - Not hyped enough
Ghost Recon - So much fun.

Honorable mentions - Splinter Cell : DA, Fight Night Round 3, Marvel UA, Prey and Call of Duty 3. Good year to be an Xbox 360 owner.
 
[quote name='Tha Xecutioner']1. Call of Duty 3
2. Amped 3


viva la 3's![/quote]

Amped 3 was 05.

1. Saint's Row (for the physics engine alone!)
2. Smackdown vs. Raw 07 (I love the SD series and haven't had a PS2 for years, it was great to play this - this was my first SD game since HCTP)
 
If we're talking 360 only...

Gears Of War
Rock Star Presents: Table Tennis (seriously)

I applaud Rock Star for taking the road less traveled so to speak. The gameplay is so simple yet so deep and the joy of winning a huge rally is really something else.
 
GRAW - playing it right now for crying out loud.
Viva Pinata - been playing this with the wife and it is so fun. lvl 48 right now.
 
Gears of War
The Active Reload, Chainsaw Bayonet, Roadie Run and Curb Stomp made this an instant classic.
Dead Rising
A George Romero movie you can play with achievements that are actually fun to earn.
 
This is the 360 forum, so it's funny people are putting non-360 games.

Oblivion
I don't think I'll ever stop playing this game...

Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Way more fun than I thought it would be.

And the ridiculously overhyped game for the 360 award goes to Dead Rising. I really wanted to like it but after hearing all the hype, it didn't even come close to living up to it.
