Honorable Mention: Braid
Braid is a thinking man's platform game. The story and visuals are great and the sense of satisfaction you get when you FINALLY figure out a puzzle is outstanding. Some very innovative game mechanics make it a fun and a challenging game for even the most experienced gamers.
And the ending is sick and twisted.
You see, the entire game (and especially in the ending sequence) you think you are the hero and that you are saving the love of your life. It turns out that YOU are the monster (a creepy stalker ex) and the girl was trying to avoid you. Check it out:
Winner: Bioshock
So here you are, a bad-ass mowing down tons of bad guys in the underwater post-apocalyptic city of Rapture, freely choosing to help the rebellion leader Atlas against the evil overlord Andrew Ryan. Pretty straight forward stuff right? BUT THEN HOLY SHIT!!!! You've been a pawn the entire time.
