Just a little controversial, no? Well I knew for a fact that none of the other authors would choose this one but I certainly don't care. Fable 2, to me, was like a breath of fresh air as it pertains to the shooter laiden Xbox 360. All of the Contenders in my mind brought things to the table but Fable 2 took risks. Who would want quicktime-esque minigames to determine something like love or skills. Exactly Nobody. But its what Fable 2 excels at which puts it in a league of its own. The atmosphere in the early going is unrivaled and the combat is so fluid and intuitive. The graphics are highly stylized and oozing with color. Fable 2 delivers an experience that is part rpg, part action adventure and nobody can doubt that it presents more than its fair share of moral choices, including a very provocative one at the end. Sure it has no multiplayer nor high production values but this "simple" little game will have you yearning for more. Congrats, Peter Molyneaux, you finally pwned!
Runner Up: Grand Theft Auto 4
Great Game period. Gigantic city, no in-game load times, amazing story, deep characters and expansive multiplayer. No other game could be runner up in my mind.
