IGN AU Top 10 Games of 2009 List
I think it's pretty bold of them to put games like Trials HD and Shadow Complex in there (Even though they were great games) especially when there are a few games like Assassins Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2 and Borderlands that we're ommited from the list completly.
1. Unchartered 2
2. Modern Warfare 2
3. New Super Mario Bros Wii
4. Grand Theft Auto: Ballad of Gay Tony
5. Batman: Arkam Asylum
6. Shadow Complex
7. Trials HD
8. Streetfighter IV HD
9. Brutal Legend
10. Killzone 2
Clearly my tastes don't match theirs. Outside of Mario, there isn't a single game on there that I am likely to own. Viva la difference. Most of my games would be on the DS, but that is me.
"Im worried Uncharted 2 is gonna be overshadowed by Modern Warfare 2. Both great games, but Uncharted deserves GOTY. "
And it will most definatley win aplenty of them. But even if it doesn't....who cares? The fans know how much of a GOTY title it is and thats what i can rest with 8)
" Im worried Uncharted 2 is gonna be overshadowed by Modern Warfare 2. Both great games, but Uncharted deserves GOTY. "Uncharted 2 has a much better chance than Dragon Age. Because apparently something can't be RPG of the year AND game of the year. RPGs aren't allowed to be goty I guess!

Me too :D
Though I always have a personal several-tied GOTY. I can't decide on anything....>.>

I'd give you one to buy if you gave me that list, but if you just asked what game should I but, it wouldn't be any of those.
And from that list, I don't think you've missed much.
" @oldschool said:Unchartered is probably good (clearly), but is a budget buy for me. I have no desire for MC2 at all. I will get NSMBW eventually, but no hurry. I have GTA IV and don't play it, so so Gay Tony, but maybe eventually. Batman just looked meh to me. Shadow Complex, Trials and SFIVHD, not at all, never. Brutal Legend, budget at best. Killzone 2, even less interest than MC2, so probably never." 1. Unchartered 2 2. Modern Warfare 23. New Super Mario Bros Wii4. Grand Theft Auto: Ballad of Gay Tony5. Batman: Arkam Asylum6.

I am not saying they are bad games, it is just that I only really dig JRPG. A list like this is no better than a list from any member on this site - purely personal and therefore goodfor the writer.
Like I say nothing bad, but you've not actually missed anything.
" @oldschool: Aye I never meant they were bad, not at all, but in the grand scheme of games released, I think there are better, sure Uncharted was good, but I never really found anything out of the ordinary in terms of what it did. I'm thinking of getting NSMBW myself, means I'll need more wii motes though. Like I say nothing bad, but you've not actually missed anything. "Sorry, I didn't intend to imply you thought that they were bad as I didn't think that. In fact I am sure none of them are bad.
The thing with "best" lists is like the Academy Awards, you can only vote on what you played, so how do you know if those you didn't are not better, for the individual. If I did a list, it could only be "The best games I played this year". Not really definitive is it? As usual, I will end up playing more of this year's games next year. That is why I don't even bother to vote in any of the polls that go around.
