The Eurogamer Expo is long over, and once again we must say thanks to everyone who attended and especially to anyone who took the time to fill out the exit survey online, which helps us to figure out what we can improve on next time.

The other thing the exit survey does, of course, is allow us to work out which were the most popular games of the Expo. Last year the winner was Mirror's Edge - a sign of your cultured palate. Read on to find out which game won out for 2009.

10. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

The fact that Uncharted 2 came out over a week before the Eurogamer Expo opened in Leeds, and two weeks before we hit London, just goes to show the immense pulling power of Naughty Dog's action-adventure masterpiece. It's the only game on this list that had been released at the time of the show, and it's still the only PS3 exclusive to score 10/10 on Eurogamer - a very worthy 10 at that.

9. Mass Effect 2

The demo itself may only have lasted a few minutes, but evidently you saw enough in Shepard's office assault and the resulting conversation with a fish-faced assassin to pique your interest, because Mass Effect 2 - just three months out from release at the time of the Expo - was another popular fixture throughout the show. Mass Effect with all the original's problems solved? Yes please.

8. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

It's not out for a while, so apart from the upcoming PS3 beta this was the only chance for many of you to check the game out for several months. DICE has worked hard to get more destruction out of the already enormously destructible Frostbite engine, and it shows.

7. New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Out next Friday, Nintendo's classy-looking attempt to bring classic Super Mario Bros. platforming and packed-couch multiplayer together made for the highest-placed Wii game on the Expo list. The 10-level Eurogamer Expo demo was popular throughout the show, and came with its own nervous German code-watcher. Sehr gut. Look out for our review as soon as poss.

6. Aliens vs. Predator

We've known for a while that Rebellion's 21st century stab at bringing squishy humans together with devious preds and snappy aliens was looking like a return to form, but even we were surprised by the scale of the response at the Eurogamer Expo, with quite a few people naming it their game of the show.
