But let's be real, a game doesn't need a huge fan following or a huge budget to be excellent and that was proven over again with the very well produced games on this list. Hit the jump to see what we thought we're the best.

I have to be honest. I was completely clueless when I first saw footage of Alan Wake. I didn't know what kind of game it was, I didn't know if it was based on something or not, I just knew that it looked amazing. Just from the trailer that was shown at last year's E3, I saw some very impressive looking lighting effects, especially for a game that was coming out exclusively for the Xbox 360. I got to spend time with the final build of Alan Wake; hit the jump to see how this unique title turned out...

Honestly, the Wii has never been short on fun. The only problem is that not very many 3rd party devs make it their main concern to make some awesome Wii games which leaves Nintendo to pick up the slack. That being said, Nintendo has always come in with the big guns for their systems and Sin and Punishment: Star Successor is definitely a big gun. Check the review!
