Call of Duty 2 is 1b.
Well, they're both pretty interchangeable. We'll go tie at 1
F.E.A.R. is the other one on my list as well.
I'm importing Fahrenheit as we speak, so it's missing from the list.
I didn't find there to be that huge of a selection at the moment.
My list was:
1. Call of Duty 2
1. Civilization 4
3. F.E.A.R.
4. Fable: The Lost Chapters
5. Quake IV
6. Farcry (cheap alternative I've been meaning to get)
7. The Movies (may not be released though)
I honestly couldn't think of much else this year. Last year it was Pirates and Bloodlines, in addition to Far Cry (though I didn't get Farcry).
