8. God of War
9. Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
I haven't got that many games from the 2000s because games = super $ that I don't have. I've been satisfying myself by playing loads of old games. But I didn't put anything on the list I didn't like, just because I played it (Jak III, FFX-2 and Kingdom Hearts II were duds). Too bad Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep doesn't come out December. That looks like a good game to round out this list with.

Listening to most often lately:
Taylor Swift ~ ~ "The Fate of Ophelia"
Taylor Swift ~ "Eldest Daughter"
Taylor Swift ~ "CANCELLED!"
I'm getting old now, and I can't play games like I used to. Even in this list going back 10 years, you'll probably see me admit to not finishing a game (Oh! The shame! The humiliation!) Some games you won't find on the list are:
Grand Theft Auto – These have never appealed to me, and despite owning GTA4, I've hardly played it.
Final Fantasy – Overrated "movies" if you ask me, with little meaningful gameplay. (See also Metal Gear)
Kingdom Hearts – Yes, they looks spectacular, but playing them bored me to tears, and the mix of Disney and FF characters doesn't help the game stylistically.
Anyhow, on with the games list. In it each year as a winner and a runner up. 2002 was a dull year for games, I really had to work to find two games for that year.
2000: Resident Evil: Code Veronica (Dreamcast)
I can honestly say this is the only Resident Evil game I have finished. But more importantly, its the only RE game I wanted to finish. Resident Evils 1-3 had you fighting ungainly controls which added too much to the difficulty, while Resident Evil 4 despite all the graphical and technical improvements, was simply too darned difficult - full stop. I've not even tried Resident Evil 5, nor do I want to. It doesn't appear to be a Resident Evil game any more.
9/10
Runner Up: Street Fighter III Third Strike (Dreamcast)
The best 2D fighter series got its best incarnation in the best home conversion. Watch the animation of those sprites and weep for what is now a dying art. Any other questions? 9/10.
2001: Silent Hill 2 (PS2)
Was there any doubt I would pick this? Truely, the first ever "adult" videogame. Not because of the violence or blood, but because of the story, it's themes (love, loss, guilt, denial, acceptance...) and how it chooses to tell the story. Almost nothing is explicit, and even after immersing yourself in the game for hour after hour you come away with a strange, dream like logic. It also has the best mixture of puzzles vs. combat in all of the Silent Hill series. Oh, and the first ending I got - James leaves town with a coughing Maria implying James will ultimately simply repeat his actions was just so symbolic, it excited me for day and days... In fact, it still excites me now and I still consider it to be the "proper" ending.
10/10 (If I could I would give it an 11)
Runner Up: Virtua Fighter 4 (PS2) - A superb conversion of a superb arcade game. I expect it surpassed everyone's expectations. 10/10
2002: Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GameCube)
One of the few GC games I owned, and a decent adventure/thriller with an Lovecraftian background. The unique-selling-point was also inspired by Lovecraft. Your character would go insane, which could mean exiting a room to appear in the same room, walling on ceilings, hearing voices, or even have the game emulate console messages (such as "controller not connected" messages). Sadly, I never managed to finish it – but the concept of madness was taken into the unrelated later Xbox "Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth" game which was vastly superior (but even harder!)
9/10
Runner Up: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Xbox). At the time this was a revelation. A TV-tie-in it treated its subject with respect and intelligence. Part combat, part exploration and part puzzle solving, Buffy feels a little like Tomb Raider in places. Voices from the cast (except of course Ms Geller who rarely did any out-of-series promotions or assignments) give it a feeling of legitimacy. The sequel one or two years later was a poor copy in all regards, despite adding multiple playable characters. 8/10
2003: Midway Arcade Treasures (Xbox)
Yes, a retrogame compilation. All of the Midway Treasures series have been superb (as have the two Capcom Collection volumes and Taito Volumes) offering superb value for money. Sadly, compilations like this seem to be rarer and rarer as publishers are more keen to push their back catalogue via individual digital downloads rather than retail discs.
A nostalgic 9/19 (for most retro game compilations, a dying breed)
Runner Up: Silent Hill 3 (PS2) - Not the winner, because sadly, this time the story just wasn't up to scratch. Aimed as a direct sequel to the first game, it spent too long retreading the past and the "twist" of Heather's real identity was so obvious, I got it just from the pre-release publicity (especially the poster/ad showing Heather in a wheelchair being pushed by a nurse). Technically superb, narratively a mess. Worryingly too, combat seemed to be more important in this release... 8/10
2004: Outrun 2 (Xbox)
Yeah, its not big and its not epic. But its so darn playable and addictive. This is true old-school Sega. Remember when almost everything Sega touched turned to gold? Where skies were blue, sun was burning down, colours were bright and music was catchy? Pure arcade fun. None of this grey, brown and orchestral epics the publisher and others force upon us now. It was a time when games were true escapism - realism and dirt and grime be damned.
8/10
Runner Up: Spider-Man 2: The Video Game (Xbox). Yes, a film tie-in. But the web swinging mechanics were superb and haven't been beaten in any subsequent Spider-Man game to date. Forget about playing the game properly, just have fun swinging around Manhattan. 8/10
2005: Evil Dead: Regeneration (Xbox)
The only decent Evil Dead game that I know of (out of three), Regeneration is a blast to play thanks to exceptional voice work from "The Chin" himself and Ted Rami as his dwarf deadite side-kick (literally "kick"). It's all out fun from start to end, but doesn't feel like anything except playing a videogame. Not that that's bad – I feel these days too many games have forgotten that playing a game can be simply for fun – but it is what it is. A cash-in on a popular franchise, although this time it’s a cash-in made with love and respect for the franchise.
7/10
Runner Up: Condemned: Criminal Origins (Xbox 360). On the face of it, I should hate this game. It's all about being "realistic" and dark and grimy. But such an environment/feel is crucial for the experience it wants to be – the atmosphere is all important. Once of the few games to genuinely give me chills (check out the sequence with the shop window dummies) my only regret is I've not managed to finish it. 7/10
2006: The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (Xbox 360)
Truely the first "next gen" game I owned that felt "next gen". While looking back now, its incredibly crude how some of the open world has been implemented, it truly was ground breaking and even now still impresses. I'll never, ever forget emerging from the sewer and seeing the colourful vista that awaited me, knowing I had the freedom to go and do anything I wanted.
9/10
Runner Up: Just Cause (Xbox 360). This game forgets all about reality and lets you just have fun, fun, fun. Physics are exaggerated or ignored totally as you grapple, jump, swim, vehicle jack and more your way through an attractive (but disappointingly sparse for a "next gen" console) tropical landscape. 7/10
2007: Mass Effect (Xbox 360)
Again, taken as components the game appears flawed. The side-quests are dull and seem pointless (we'll have to see what Mass Effect 2 does with my save game) and the combat never really varied. However, that's all insignificant when we look at the real selling point of the game: the story. What an intelligent and "hard" sci-fi story Mass Effect has. Like Silent Hill 2 I would claim this is one of the few titles that can claim to be adult. This game has narrative of a standard not found in most novels.
10/10
Runner Up: Virtua Fighter 5 (PS3). Forget the other 3D fighters, the VF series is still the best. At first this may underwhelm (especially visually) but it has a depth still unrivalled by any competitor and the graphics have lots of subtle but effective effects which add so much to the "reality" of the game its easy to miss them and take them for granted. 9/10
2008: Fallout 3 (PS3)
Takes everything good from Oblivion and enhances it while at the same time adding so much more new stuff. VATS combat is superb, the storyline while sometimes slow has enough humour to keep you interested and character work especially is notably improved. Not just in voicing, but also in writing. Almost everybody you meet has their own agenda and personality. Shame that if you keep the dog around you, as intended, it has a life-span of approximately 10 minutes (so I just leave mine at home).
10/10
Runner Up: FarCry2 (PS3). I was going to say Bioshock simply for the rug-pulling-out-from-under-you twist in the story which totally changes how you respond to the game and story, but ultimately I've had more fun with FayCry2. It has an impressive environment (just as, if not more so than Bioshock's IMO because it really does feel like Africa) and satisfying gameplay. It's somewhat repetitive but a quick 30 minute play session to complete a mission every once is more than welcome. The destruction you can cause sometimes is ultra-impressive. I enjoy fiddling with the map-maker should I be in a more relaxed mood. 9/10
2009: Ghostbusters: The Video Game (PS3)
Yes, its flawed. But its clearly the best movie-IP-to-game release ever made. The gameplay while not ground breaking is still fun most of the time, some good ideas have expanded the films' tool set (such as the slime tether) and while the graphics (especially on the PS3) may disappoint, the custom physics engine is surprisingly robust - and perfect for showing the destructive aftermath of Ghostbustin'. However, its the dialogue and voice action which makes this game a winner. All of the banter in game feels natural. It is the first time I have played a game of a film and felt not only is this a proper sequel, but it could easily be a film itself.
8/10
Runner Up: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (PS3). At first I hated this game. After the colourful and varied original, this seemed to follow a lot of the trends I hate in gaming today. Namely it appeared to be all brown and grey, urban and more "realistic". However, the game opens up as the story progresses and we do get some more interesting locations to button-mash in. Yes, the game is a button-masher, but like all good button-mashers, you need some degree of skill and strategy to do well. The story is superb, and the choosing a side aspect pulls you into the story a lot more than the original games' jaunt about the Marvelverse. 8/10
Grand Theft Auto – These have never appealed to me, and despite owning GTA4, I've hardly played it.
Final Fantasy – Overrated "movies" if you ask me, with little meaningful gameplay. (See also Metal Gear)

I'm not going to rank these, but there are a few titles I'll note.
Kingdom Hearts-especially the Final mix for 2, which is very challenging and has extensive new content, including cutscenes, tough bosses, platforming ventures, "drive forms", and other changes.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion-if you've set aside two months to beat this game, don't. I've had it for over a year, and there's still plenty to do. This is partially attributed to the Shivering Isles expansion pack. PC owners will find extensive downloadable mods for this title.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare-the only war game I own.
Lord of the Rings: the Battle for Middle Earth 2-challenging, fun, like an elaborate chess game really. It is difficult, but a good game.
Lord of teh Rings: Fellowship of the Ring is as noteworthy as the hobbit, but not one of my favorites.
Bioshock-spook fest.
