My favorites these year would have to be Ruby Destiny - Life of Guardians and Snakewood.
The RD series had been a long-time favorite for me, and this last hack doesn't cease to amaze me with its epic storyline and always leaves you wanting more!
Snakewood has a tremendous plot and splendid scripting, and overall it's one of the most fun hacks I've ever played.
There goes my two cents. RD deserves to win this time around, methinks.
