This was a fun look back!

My memory isn't great, so I'm sure I'm missing some obvious ones, but I thought I'd add a couple of runners up for each year:

 

2004 - Paper Mario : The Thousand Year Door (Pikmin 2, Metal Gear Solid : The Twin Snakes)

2005 - Resident Evil 4 (Psychonauts, Mario Kart DS)

2006 - Wii Sports (LocoRoco, Gears of War)

2007 - Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare (Bioshock, The Orange Box)

2008 - Burnout Paradise (Gears of War 2, Braid)

2009 - Batman : Arkham Asylum (Trials HD, Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves)

2010 - Red Dead Redemption (Mass Effect 2, Deadly Premonition)

2011 - Dark Souls (Gears of War 3, Portal 2)

2012 - Call of Duty : Black Ops II (Rocksmith, Mark of the Ninja)

2013 - The Last of Us (Rogue Legacy, Bioshock Infinite)

2014 - Mario Kart 8 (Dark Souls II, Plants vs Zombies : Garden Warfare)

2015 - Bloodborne (Metal Gear Solid V : The Phantom Pain, The Witcher III)

2016 - Clash Royale (Overwatch, Dark Souls III)

2017 - The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild (Yakuza 0, Resident Evil 7)

2018 - God of War (Tetris Effect, Dead Cells)

 

It's not an opinion that will blow anyone's minds, but 2007 and 2017 were straight up bangers of too many good games.

Looking at that and seeing me majorly shout out to Lone Survivor brings back mixed memories.  I was horribly depressed at the time and related to it in a worrying manner.  I should go back to it as it did help me a little to contextualise things.  A real cool game.  I massively recommend it if you're a sad boy.

2004: Half Life 2. How this isn't on everyone's list, dear me

2005: Resident Evil 4

2006: Shadow of the Colossus (or Okami (it's possible I voted for Castlevania Portrait of Ruin at the time (or Touch detective)))

2007: Mario Galaxy but if memory serves I actually voted for Metroid Prime 3 (shout outs to Touch Detective 2, Excite Truck, and Hotel Dusk)

2008: The World Ends With You (Castlevania Order of Ecclesia and Yakuza 2 running it close)

2009: Batman Arkham Asylum (I actually voted for Flower because I'm a bit nobby. I'm tempted to say Street Fighter 4)

2010: Civ 5 (I actually voted for Heavy Rain, but in hindsight)

2011: Deus Ex Human Revolution

2012: Witcher 2  (special metions to Dishonored, To The Moon, Dear Esther, and Sleeping Dogs, what a year!)

2013: Fire Emblem Awakening

2014: Etrian Odyssey Untold Millennium Girl 

2015: Witcher 3 (just a shout out that The Music Machine came out this year, interesting game)

2016: Doom (but I actually voted for Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold)

2017: Nier Automata (good year this; Wolfenstein 2, Yakuza 0, Metroid Samus Returns, Edith Finch)

2018: Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey Redux (not as good a year)
