Best of 2009

HQBurger88: Best of 2009

List items

• 

  1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

  Easy choice to make the list, spent an embarrassing amount of time in multi player on the first modern warfare and i plan on doing the same in this one. Doesn't matter how many times i lose, i still come back for more.

  2. Borderlands

  Not since I played Diablo II has a game captured my need to keep playing as this one has. It was always in the back of my mind "why hasn't someone made a game like that, lots of everything" and they did, almost as if someone knew what game would be perfect for me. With a constant need to keep leveling up and keep collecting this game is a no brainer.

  3. Halo 3: ODST

  While it wasn't enough to get me back into Halo, or more specifily the multi player of Halo, it was enough to make me interested in the smaller roles of Halo. Before this game it was only the spartans i had any interest in but after playing this game i found myself really caring about the ODST. The multi player is fun but i found the story and the setting of the game much more interesting.

  4. Torchlight

  When it comes to enjoying games that are like Diablo II a game like Torchlight pretty much is Diablo II. At least it is a streamlined Diablo II that should have gotten whatever budget Diablo III has. Fun to play and countless reasons to bring you back to it this game makes me wish i spent more time playing PC games.

  5. Resident Evil 5

  Never a big fan of Resident Evil games the first game i played in the series was Resident Evil 4 on the wii. After hearing how great it was but being held back by personal bias towards the series i finally picked up the wii copy after seeing it be described as the best version of the game. I mention Resident Evil 4 so much because Resident Evil 5 is, in my opinion, the almost as good but not quite as good sequel to that game. Great weapon upgrading system that made you play through the game multiple times but i didn't feel nearly as engrossed as i did with the previous game. I did feel more interested in the Resident Evil universe after playing this game and wish i knew more about the story, and i will gladly play whatever other Resident Evil games to find out more.

  6. Batman: Arkham Asylum

  Who hasn't wanted a great batman game since video games were video games. Each attempt a failure until Arkham Asylum came along where the awe that is batman with the problem solving and gameplay of the best came together to form a great game.
