I haven't played such a tight well-paced game since, well...I don't know. If you would have told me last year a Batman game (I'm not even into Batman beyond the movies) would be my 2009 GOTY, I would of called you insane. This just goes to show any game can be a real gem and we shouldn't judge before playing.
-
Modern Warfare 2 offers some of the best multiplayer around. That combined with it's spec-ops mode and solid singleplayer makes it a must have.
-
I'm a huge fan of Resident Evil, and Resident Evil 5 kinda disappointed me with some design choices and for ditching the "what are ya' buyin?" merchant seen in RE4. With all that aside, RE5 delivers some awesome co-op action. I've never played a game that truly encouraged and rewarded me for playing multiple time.
-
Uncharted 2 is all about big-ass production values, and it totally works. Naughty Dog's latest is a well crafted roller-coaster ride riddled with edge of your seat action, and John Mclain-style beating to our protagonist.
-
Molding together genres is risky business, however, Borderlands accomplishes this goal probably better than any game before it. I really hated the lifelessness the environment had, but hey, I can't resist fat loot!
-
This is possibly one of the most well-crafted music games out there. It's artistic flare combined with an impressive track make this a no-brainer for Beatles fans, or music fans in general.
-
No game out there stresses me out like Left 4 Dead. The game's white knuckle action is unmatched, and Left 4 Dead 2 is one of the best co-op games in town.
-
inFAMOUS introduced us to a new comic book-style world. The game's hero has fun abilities and can pull off some incredibly awesome moves. This game screams for a sequel to further develop its mechanics.
-
I was really skeptical of Killzone 2. This game doesn't have any outstanding notes other than well-crafted action. I guess sometimes, that's all you need.

Oh my, oh my. This game is my guilty pleasure. 50 Cent's over the top action and loud presence is something truly to be behold. I couldn't recommend this game to anyone by any means. Sometimes stupid stuff is just as awesome as anything else. Games are all about fun, right?
