Time mazinage has made their list of top ten games for the year (2009 if you forgot what year it is). The number 1 game? Modern Warfare 2. Number 2 Un... Batman Arkham Asylum. Number 3 Unchar... DJ Hero? Damn you Times!  OK, you got me. I am partial towards Uncharted 2 and think it should have been higher on that list. To be fair, I've not played all these games. Maybe DJ Hero deserves the thirds spot and Uncharted 2, AC 2 and Halo deserve the last three spots. Anyway, here's the full list.  
 
10. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
9. Assassin's Creed 2
8. Halo: ODST
7. Scribblenauts
6. Swarm
5.   New Super Mario Bros Wii
4. Borderlands
3. DJ Hero
2. Batman Arkham Asylum
1. Modern Warfare 2
 
So, what do you think of the list? And if you played all of the games in this list, please feel free to re-order them if you have a different opinion.

Not to sure if Scribblenauts should be that high. I would put inFamous or Killzone 2 before that. 
 
And I've never even heard of Swarm.

Swarm has almost no information on it, according to the Giant Bomb page, and I remember Scribblenauts NOT being Game of the Year caliber, in retrospect.

because we still follow time magazine's attempt to cover video games... 
honestly, they said that  
1. spore was near perfect/revolutionary/a must buy/will be a bestseller (all these things) 
2. natal/sony wand will be revolutionary (not saying it wont, but it's too early to call) 
3. Little Big Planet was multiplayer only 
4. Natal was one of the 50 best inventions of the year 
 should i keep going?

Swarm? Scribblenauts? DJ Hero? 
 
Weird list. Hard to believe Wii Sports Resort wasn't on there, seems like a Time thing to put on. Maybe even inFAMOUS. This seems like a strange mix of games everyone would have heard of and gamers games.

I don't think that those Time lists' order had anything to do with anything.

Modern Warfare 2 may or may not deserve to be on the list but Its certainly not the best game. ODST, nice nod to it. Batman: AA, based on that list, should be no 1, with UC2 2nd and AC2 3rd. If MW2 has to be there at all, its 10.

What.
The.
Fuck.
 
Time should not try to review video games. Placing Uncharted 2 as 10 is absolutely laughable. This exceeds opinion; it's pure idiocy.

Why is everyone going so apeshit for Uncharted 2? I played that game 2 fucking years ago, it was just called Uncharted back then, though.

If you look at the list it's Geo Defense Swarm.  Actually not a bad list... some oddballs, but that's to be expected.  It's a GOTY list, nobody will agree with it.

I heard UC2 was a pretty kick ass game. Seems like it should be higher than 10th based on all the good things I've heard about it.
 
And what the hell is Swarm?
