This may sound weird, but I really love the font they used.  Anyone know what it is?

I am shocked that Demon's Souls isn't on this list. I am also shocked that Dragon Age isn't either. Ryan said he didn't get a chance to play every game, but wouldn't you at least play the games that get a lot of buzz with reviews after they come out? I respect opinions and I like the unique nature of your nominations though Ryan. Also, A Street Fighter IV omission is almost unforgivable.  :P

Ok, if Ryan is putting a 2008 game on his list then I'm definitely putting Persona 4 on my list.

An odd list, a little shocked by FEAR2, though it was a good game.
 
Also that background looks a little cheap.

@Jayzilla: I don't think we have to argue with these personal lists that will drip out during the coming week. It's very clear that this is Ryans personal favorites of the year so nobody can tell him that he is wrong. 
 
This is nice and makes us understand where the guys are coming from and what perspectives they have. You can be certain that Jeff will have Street Fighter IV on his list because that's his type of game so don't "yell" at Ryan because he did not have it on his. And we will have to see what comes up on the more official lists later this week. 
 
Yeah... that's my two cents.

I'm wondering, will Dave get his chance for top 10 games of 2009 video? Because I'd love to hear his perspective in addition to the usual four.

Awesome feature and pretty good list.  Your whole bit on Arkham Asylum pretty much sums up my feelings both pre- and post- release as well.

Hadouken!

And to think there were complaints about the lack of SFIV on the list - it's all subliminal people

Very nice list Ryan. I like how it's different from the run of the mill top 10 that just consists of mainstream titles, while at the same time continuing to recognize the games that are big name for a reason. Good show!

Good list, Ryan.  Except for FEAR 2.  Fuck that game.  Other than the atmosphere, that game was shit.

So far so good. There were alot of games that came out this year which made it difficult to spend time with each and everyone of them. Particularly the all time consuming Dragon Age: Origins. But despite being limited to choose only 10 games, the one's listed are interesting picks. I'm curious to see what the rest of the Bomb Squad chose for 2009.

I think it's getting pretty clear already that they're going to pick Uncharted 2 as GOTY.
