@SpiritOf: I understand what you mean. I asked about the KZ2-MW2 thing because I just finished Killzone for the first time like three days ago. I agree that the presentation is years ahead of that in MW2 and, from what I hear, the multiplayer is also superior.
About Oblivion, yeah that's a pretty good game. I really got into a few games from last year this year as well. Prince of Persia was superb and that would probably take slot number four on my this year list if it could. I played over 100 hours or Persona 3 this year as well. Old games for the win!
Yeah, was kinda of stressing that I haven't even played games like Borderlands or Assassin's Creed 2, which I'm sure both would be right up my aisle (and which probably would have bumped a few from the list). Thank god this was an excellent year for downloadable "short burst" gaming.
As for Killzone 2, I just thought it had a few more cool tricks up its sleeves than MW2 had. MW2 is great, but it seem to just throw the same stuff at me as the first one did. I also didn't feel the tension during the story, or the final level, in MW2 as I did in MW1. I also thought, from a visual/audio standpoint, Killzone 2 completely floors MW2. They're both pretty equal in my eyes, I just gave Killzone 2 a bit more on doing the very small things right.
I all honesty, if it were even possible, I'd give GOTY to Oblivion. The game that I FINALLY got around to playing this year, and the game I put around 175 hours into. It still holds up and is probably the best thing I played in 2009, weirdly enough. :)
Nice list. At least you managed to make it to 10, unlike myself. I'm still debating over stuff like Borderlands, Dragon Age, and a few other superb titles. You're also one of the few people I've seen who said Killzone was better than Modern Warfare 2. Care to elaborate?
