Wow - what an astounding display of mediocrity. After 2007, such a great year for gaming, it's a pity. What in the name of God is The Simpsons Game doing there? And don't get me started on Fifa.

Also, where the hell is Mario Galaxy??? That should never be out of the top 10 but that's my problem really....
