Best games of Oh Nine, dawgz.

[Cure]

It's that time of year. Not many more games coming out this year so let's talk it up.

Lotsa good games came out this year that I can't even remember them all. Resident Evil 5 was pretty big. Ghostbusters, I felt, was pretty underrated. Halo 3 ODST. Borderlands. Shadow Complex. NSMBW. Splosion Man. ACII. L4D2. Aaaaaahh.

I'll come back with a decision, haha. What are yours?

[Ra]

After playing Boarderlands at an internet cafe, I had to change my pants. So yeah... my vote goes for that.

Haven't played many games this year though... so I can't really give many more opinions...

[prescribeddrone]

arkham asylum.

but i haven't played any new games since october. assassins creed 2 and uncharted 2 might be up there, i just haven't played them yet.

[Dr. Doom]

I think Arkham Asylum was a fun game, but maybe like the most overrated game of the year.

My pick for the best would probably be Dragon Age. It's definitely the best I've played on 360. (though I wish My PC could run it)

[Barkworm]

I haven't played too many games this year but I guess my vote goes for Arkham Asylum. Shadow Complex was awesome too.

[Krang]

I'm going with New Super Mario Bros. Wii as the best of the year. Street Fighter IV and Arkham Asylum are also great games and would be my runner-up choices after that.

Here's all the games I've played this year (as far as I can remember) and how I'd rate them out of 10.

Dragonball: Origins (DS) 7/10
Resident Evil 5 (PS3) 7.5/10
The Legend of Kage 2 (DS) 7/10
Prince of Persia (PS3) 4/10 (I haven't finished this game and I never will, but I've played enough of it to conclude that it is a piece of sh*t in a pretty wrapping)
Devil May Cry 4 (PS3) N/A (Barely played this, not sure if I'll bother again. What little I did play did not appeal to me at all)
Bioshock (PC) 8/10
inFamous (PS3) 8.5/10
Another Code R: Journey into Lost Memories (Wii) 8.5/10
Flower, Sun and Rain (DS) 2/10 (Never finished, and doubt I will. The game interests me but the gameplay and graphics are some of the worst I have ever encountered)
Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3) 9/10
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3) 9.5/10
Flower (PSN) 8/10
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS) N/A (Haven't finished yet. I want to continue but I can never find the motivation)
Assassin's Creed II (PS3) 9.5/10

As always with these lists, I feel like I'm forgetting stuff. Oh well.

I have played through it and I even paid for the add-on but I think I kind of have to agree with you. I liked it because I was really into the characters but when you can play half of a game holding the controller with only one hand something can't be quite right with it.

[Ninjinister]

Almost everything I've played this year has been absolute shyte (Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, DragonBall Evolution, TMNT Arcade Attack), or "meh" (Tekken 6, DMC4, TMNT Smash-Up).

Street Fighter IV definitely gets a massive thumbs up for me this year. And although almost everyone else hated it, I can't get enough of Turtles in Time Re-Shelled. DragonBall Origins is pretty cool, but I'm only about halfway through the game. I also really liked Arkham Asylum, but I did think it was majorly overrated.

Although it was only the demo, Bayonetta actually impressed me far more than DMC4 did.

[XERO]

For me, Street Fighter IV, followed by Left 4 Dead 2.

[poiuytre]

I think my vote goes out to Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
Little King's Story has been my favorite overlooked game.
Batman: Arkham Asylum was this year's most pleasant surprise to me.
Biggest disappointment gets awarded to Resident Evil 5.

Tales of Monkey Island technically isn't finished yet, but it deserves a honorable mention nevertheless.


(I'm enjoying Assassin's Creed 2 and Spirit Tracks a lot at the moment too, but as it stands I don't think they will make me rethink my previous choices.)

DMC4 is 2008...Like 1st quarter 2008.

And when you play **** like Dragonball Evolution, TMNT Arcade Attack, and Tekken, are you surprised that they ****ing suck?

MC listed it on his post. Figured he knew what he was talking about

Previous Tekkens still kick ass, it's 6 that blew hard.

And there isn't a lot this year that has enticed me. The stuff most of you guys aren't my bag.

I listed the games I played this year, regardless of when they were released.

Nn... missed that somehow.

I'd have an entirely different list if I did the same...

EDIT: Actually I never did specify games that came out this year, either.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 for me. Both games have kept me busy since they released a few weeks ago. I'm getting New Super Mario Bros. Wii for Christmas and I'm anticipating that game completing my top 3 for '09. I wanna get my hands on Borderlands at some point too.

[Lordmylar06]

Street Fighter 4, followed by Borderlands. I also enjoyed Assassin's Creed 2, but I think it fell short of perfect. I nitpick about replayability, and hopefully Ubisoft can patch the game and make it the best it can be.

[Cure]

My favorite single player game is definitely Assassin's Creed II, followed closely by Dragon Age. Multiplayer, however, goes to either Ghostbusters or Borderlands. So much fun playing with da crew.
