Crysis + Crysis Warhead
Team Fortress 2
Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts
Supreme Commander Forged Alliance
My only peeve is L4D was an awesome concept but it felt like the only bugfixing done was during the demo. That game still has grevious bugs they would have caught early on in betatesting had they done so, and it still lacks a server browser or any way to select the server to launch your game from unless you know certainl console text commands...

Thanks to a general lack of time, when I do find time to play games, I tend to be drawn to my old-school MMO, simply because I know it's not going to be around forever. I do need to make sure I make more time for gaming this year though, since I feel like I need to game more. It's sick that I benchmark these games for what seems like night and day, but I never stray past the few minutes I spend in each one.
That aside, this year, Left 4 Dead impressed me quite a bit, bugs aside. The graphics were fantastic, it ran well, and the audio was impressive. It's really, really fun with a group of good friends, and forces you work as a team. I look forward to seeing what future updates come to this one. Sadly, I don't have an opinion on any other game this year, since I really don't recall playing any.

Hmmmm, interesting.
I see you have the GTX260, I use the GTX280 and have never seen what you described.
I havent updated any drivers since the installation......
I'll keep an eye out for thos problems
Merlin
Well I'm by far not the only one. L4D Valve forums are covered with threads, if you post an issue they'll ask what Forceware you use right off. Three or four buddies in my friends list also suffered from this problem. Usually the game locks up and crashes with looping/stuck sounds under XP, but with Vista it tends to just crash to desktop without a single error message being reported. Sometimes the sound is still looping in the background, sometimes not.
