    Portal (for being the most memorable perspective change - sorry Prey!)
    Half-Life 2 (for advancing the art of storytelling in games, + physics)
    Resident Evil 4 (for kicking the action genre in the nuts)

    Portal
    Metroid Prime (by far the best 2D to 3D transition of any series I've played)

    PC: Deus Ex - for the level of player choice and excellent level design.
    PC: Thief II: The Metal Age - for taking Thief and perfecting it - the level design and story in particular. The greatest stealth 'em up thus far.
    PS3: Demon's Souls - for the integration of single player and multiplayer elements into one seamless experience.

    Portal - brilliantly designed levels and game mechanic
    Hitman - I had Thief 2 down, but then remember how brilliantly organised the missions in Hitman were.
    Assassin's Creed - Not the greatest game in the world, but brilliant level design and free running mechanic.
