Gabe's given me the idea for this thread. I think we had one last year, too. Instead of adventure games (although they're welcome too) list games outside the adventure genre that are your 'Game of the Year'. Even list your best/worst movies, books, albums, TV shows etc. from the year if you want.
I'll go first.

Best TV Series
Now, I don't actually have any favourites from
this year. So, I'm gonna make an exception with a couple of older series from 2006 onwards. These ones in particular were released in a box set/collection at the end of last year and sometime this year. And because I got into them this year... what the hell?
1. Death Note - Complete Series
2. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Complete Season One
***

Same problem as above I'm afraid. So...
1. Death Note - The Complete Box Set
2. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
It's cheating, I know...

Well that's all mine... I think. What's everyone elses? Oh, and you don't need to do it the same way I have. I just like to be a bit presentable.
