As ever some remarkable work - notably the devastating and excoriating Roadkill; the crazy body wapping of Ampe & Garrido's Still Standing You (at Inbetween Time 2010) and the dark places of The Author. But also a higher than usual quotient of SHOWS THAT MADE ME WANT TO KILL - most of them in platforms so I haven't specified all of them in the list above... not all of them...
