Before I begin the countdown, I just want to note that this chart is heavily influenced by nostalgia. Since I don't play a lot of new games these days, you will find that all of the games on the chart are older than 10 years...

AND MY FAVOURITE GAME OF ALL TIME IS....
HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS (PS 2)
Release date: November 14, 2002
Publisher: Electronic Arts
About the game:
The game's core gameplay is simple. Taking control of Harry, the player explores Hogwarts
castle and grounds. Throughout the course of the game, the player will
encounter events that tie into the storyline of the second book. Filling the gaps between these events are various classes, where the
player will learn how to fly a broomstick and learn new spells for
combating bosses, among other things. Each new spell is accompanied by a
challenge, which the player must get through in a certain amount of
time to complete that class period. During the later parts of the game,
the player will face challenges which are not time-limited and are not
related to learning spells. These challenges are all based on events
from the book, for example, travelling into the Forbidden Forest and
gathering ingredients for a potion Hermione is making. (source: wikipedia)
Critical reception: The game received mostly positive reviews.
