Prey was also a mediocre FPS. GRAW or Rainbow Six: Vegas should be there instead of Prey.
And no Oblivion whatsoever?

Holy crap I forgot about Oblivion. Terrible omission.

DVD Talk Hero
Although by far the best PS3 launch title, I don't think Resistance deserves it's spot either. And while I enjoyed it, Lego Star Wars 2 in the top ten? That having been said, I'm not sure what (besides Oblivion) I would put there instead. As an RPG fan, I'd think FF XII. Or Okami, though I guess that had limited appeal.

Prey doesn't belong on there either.

I'm one of the few who enjoys RS's Table Tennis but I'm starting to see why people hate it. At a certain point the game becomes frunstratingly hard and that's when all the fun up and disappears.
But as far as presentation, music, and graphics the game is pretty cool.
But I would agree that it's not really a Top 10 game.

Wow, a really shitty list. If Wii Sports was the best game released in 2006 I guess I'm done gaming.
Prey was fun, but wasn't even in my top 25 games from last year. Table Tennis?
Where is Okami, FF XII, Oblivion or Elite Beat Agents?
