It may have even made it to number 4. But I wanted to have a list before the year was over, since there isn't much point in doing a Top Ten of the year list in February or March.Lord Blinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13309529830363457895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965939.post-10965753562949499312010-01-03T15:54:04.668-06:002010-01-03T15:54:04.668-06:00I thought UFC Undisputed was a good first game for...I thought UFC Undisputed was a good first game for the franchise. They created a totally new engine, and it plays well and looks even better.

My favorite games that I actually played in 2009 are:<br /><br />Dragon Age: Origins - I'm with the Miles on this one. Fantastic game.<br /><br />NCAA Football 2010 - I always spend way too much time playing this game and building a dynasty with some really crappy program like Richmond or Alcorn State. <br /><br />Batman: Arkham Asylum - Like everyone else on Earth, I thought this game was going to suck. When I got into the game, I was pleasantly surprised.<br /><br />Games that I didn't enjoy playing this year included UFC: Uninspired and Overlord 2.Ryan the Angry Midgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120313107611992640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965939.post-21637481938608045722009-12-26T20:01:10.650-06:002009-12-26T20:01:10.650-06:00Bones, what you do with Ass is entirely your own b...Bones, what you do with Ass is entirely your own business. :) I'll play Assassin's Creed 2 in January. I also wasn't a hater of the first game; I liked it. But it also had some serious issues that kept me from loving it. Sounds like they've addressed most of those issues.<br /><br />As for MW2 shipping glitchy online MP, CoD4 also wasn't perfect the first couple of months, then they listened to the community and made a lot of positive changes. The same thing is happening with MW2.Lord Blinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13309529830363457895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965939.post-91390363338429020812009-12-26T19:24:29.368-06:002009-12-26T19:24:29.368-06:00The fact that my year's top ten eludes to a fe...The fact that my year's top ten eludes to a few things: 1. Lord Bling and I have similar tastes in games (and pr0n), and 2. the best games of the year all pretty much the same, which leads me to conclude that 3. The quality of games overall in 2009 are a little less than standard. There are games coming out in the first quarter of 2010 (Mass Effect 2, Bad Company 2, Darksiders, Bayonetta) that appear like they could already compete for the top of this year's list. Like most years, we only include a few new IP's and the rest are franchise games, but that is the nature of the beast these days. So here goes for The Miles:<br /><br />Honorable Mentions:<br />Resident Evil 5 (Multi) and Punch Out!!! (Wii). Punch Out takes me somewhat back to the day, and even though the NES Classic is still far superior for nostalgia's sake, I don't mind the Wii update. RE5 was good, but didn't stand out to me enough to bump my top 10. <br /><br />10. Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS). This one is a Lord Bling Special, as in he will HATE this pick and will ridicule me mercilessly for it. But still, its a fun game that I liked a little more than Scribblenauts. There are a few good DS games this year in the new Zelda, M&L, Scribblenauts, but that goes with a massive amount of shovelware. The PSP really needs to step up their game in terms of bringing out quality titles. LBP was a step in the right direction, but I'm not a fan of mini versions of larger titles. <br /><br />9. Shadow Complex (XBL Arcade) A fun, Metroid-ish platformer. <br /><br />8. NCAA Football 2010 (Multi) ZOMG! A SPORTS GAME! Now I hear Fifa 10 is supposed to be fantastic and I plan on giving it a spin, but I really like what EA did with Create -A-School, and the fact they overrated KU despite their crappy season this year. <br /><br />7. Forza 3 (360). I've never been a big Sim racer fan, but I found Forza "dumbed down" the gameplay enough for it not to be Burnout, but something very enjoyable for a racer. <br /><br />6. Assassin's Creed 2 (multi) Very much an improvement over the original, although I'm not a huge hater of the original.<br /><br />5. Dragon Age (multi) Skip the Special Edition and their 23 downloads and cloth map (read: Chick Magnet), and you get another Bioware adventure. You know, I've been playing Bioware games for a while now and they have a very familiar feel to each, but they still manage to kick ass. <br /><br />4. Batman: Arkham Asylum (multi). Ok, from here on out this is going to be really familiar, so I'm not going to add a whole lot to the conversation. When Batman was first being previewed, I thought this game was going to suck like the Schumaker Bat films. I was very happy to be very wrong. <br /><br />3. Borderlands (multi). Came out of nowhere almost at the last second to be a pleasant surprise. Presentation, customability, online co-op, this game is just damn fun.<br /><br />2. Uncharted 2 (PS3). What Bling said.<br /><br />1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (360). Yes, there are flaws. Yes, the Single Player was too short, yes the Multi-player shipped glitchy. The fact of the matter is when 2010 is out and we are doing our 'best of' lists, I'll still be playing this game. That is what makes this title the number one game of the year.The Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547896008559706255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965939.post-91979731872514511632009-12-26T17:12:06.273-06:002009-12-26T17:12:06.273-06:00Oh is any one giggles at me gagging for Ass3 comme...Oh is any one giggles at me gagging for Ass3 comment.

Single Player is exactly how you put it but it is multiplayer is a let down for me. Too many fundamental issues with glitches, unbalanced weapons, and the not having party chat is a HUGE mistake. <br /><br />The game is still great but not #1.<br /><br />For me Ass2 has to take the crown. Throughly engaging story, beautiful graphics and excellent music. The game is just the right length and leaves me gagging for Ass3. <br /><br />I have just got Borderlands and cannot wait to get stuck into it.COG Boneshttp://www.callofgamers.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
