Star Wars: The Force Unleashed could have been the winner but sadly, it vomited up a sequel.
I'm having a lot of trouble thinking of a good stand-alone game in general. My favorite games are part of franchises. Saint's Row 2, Halo Reach, Oblivion, Just Cause 2, Pokemon Black, White, Diamond, Platinum; Batman Arkham Asylum.
The only one I can think of is The Punisher for the original Xbox but that game was last gen. Spawn: In the Demon's Hand was on the Dreamcast which was also last gen but another favorite.
I could take the easy way out and vote Minecraft but I've clocked many, many, many more hours on console games.
