Console:
Batman Arkham Asylum (PS3/360)
Batmman Arkham Asylum Cover
In the vain of the first good “movie based game” X-men Origins, Batman AA came out and kicked everyone’s ass and combined The Metal Gear style Sneaking, The action of God of War and a DAMN GOOD story that can be loosely said as a Dark Knight Squeal! Even if you have not played games since the SNES get a PS3 and GET THIS GAME! Hopefully the Second game, promptly named Batman Arkham Asylum 2, looks really good and i cant wait for it!
Runner Up: The Beatles Rock Band

Ok so this only got game of the year over the Runner up because it has a better stand alone story! The runner up being Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and the “stand alone” story of Professor Layton is a TON better than KH:358/2 Days aka Kingdom Hearts Dumb Name! But story aside this game (Professor Layton) works a HARDCORE Puzzle game and a DAMN good Mystery into one special and great gaming experience! Now comparing this to Professor Layton 1 the puzzles are EASY! But these puzzles in the second game are at a medium difficulty! But still many of the latter puzzles are just easy, but where the puzzles weaken the Story really picks up and the same can be said when the story is weak the puzzles are fun and really brain teasing! So i do recommend a walkthrough for this game!
Runner Up:
Kingdom Hearts Dumb name
