Best of 2009

by weggles

My personal choices for the 10 best games of 2009.

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Demon's Souls

1. Demon's Souls

The most fulfilling gaming experience I've had all year. What a sense of accomplishment you get when you defeat a boss.

The Beatles: Rock Band

2. The Beatles: Rock Band

Excellent game, excellent soundtrack, excellent style. Needs more songs. Though, with DLC this isn't an issue (except for price)

Left 4 Dead 2

3. Left 4 Dead 2

A vast improvement over one of the best games of last year.

inFamous

4. inFamous

Bought this game on a whim when I got my PS3. Was more than enough to make me stop doubting my purchase.

Flower

5. Flower

So relaxing, and enjoyable.

Borderlands

6. Borderlands

Definitely have to play this with friends. If you do have a group of friend with it, immensely fun.

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box

7. Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box

Excellent, and charming puzzle game. Some puzzles may make you roll your eyes, and the ending to the story seems out of left field and like a rushed ending.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

8. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Solid, but short, single player. Enjoyable multi-player hampered by numerous glitches and exploits. It's been a month and already we've had the javelin glitch, unlimited care packages, running faster with the signal grenade, imbalanced 1887s, private match glitch etc. This can't be overlooked.

Katamari Forever

9. Katamari Forever

The best katamari game yet.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

10. Batman: Arkham Asylum

Surprisingly good, though recycled bosses drag it down. Why recycle the shittiest boss 100 times?
