My GOTY.

After much consideration I have finally come to a decision on GOTY for 2009. I first compiled my list of games that I played and enjoyed quite a lot. My list first consisted of:
- Resident Evil 5
- Infamous
- Killzone 2
- Borderlands
- Modern Warfare 2
- Uncharted 2
- Assassin's Creed 2
I recently managed to bring the list down to just Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2. With MW2 I enjoyed an action packed campaign with over the top sequences and then continue on to playing the streamlined multiplayer that I still continue to play. As for Uncharted I took away a great experience with the game's lengthy but addicting single player. It is now that I must choose Uncharted 2 as my GOTY simply because I had the most fun with it. Uncharted 2 was never on my radar when it was first announced and I decided to buy it out of curiosity and the need to put my PS3 to use and I was glad I did. I enjoyed the story it had to tell and the characters are quite believable and interesting to listen to. The game is also captivating with its visuals and set pieces and are a blast to play through.
Even though MW 2 had an intense single player, it was still only at around 5 hours. Uncharted 2 had a great length and I never grew bored during any parts of the game. Also another factor in choosing this is that the game doesn't stop at the single player, it also has a complete multiplayer side to it with a level up system and its own perks.The multiplayer was the most surprising component for me because of how they manage to integrate Gears like controls plus the ability to climb and traverse the levels to find vantage points. As great as MW 2 is I just have to go with Uncharted 2 because of its great accomplishment to overcome its predecessor in every aspect and then managing to add on a great multiplayer experience to keep people coming back to it.
