The game this year that was a huge hit across the board was:
"Professor Layton and the Curious Villiage"

It is the winner - most popular and best reviews - If this is an adventure game like many sites say it is. Others say it is a puzzle game.
For me - I give it to "Prof Layton" because most sites loved it and it was a very different way to do an adventure/puzzle game.
