Moriveth: Best of 2009
Such an amazing improvement over the first game. They took nearly every criticism from the first one and improved on it. Plus the main character isn't a complete dick. This gets top spot for how much it blew me away.
The fact that I played 24 hours of the multiplayer in the first week this game was out (and I am not someone who plays multiplayer often) really says something about this game's quality.
Well, it's more Halo, except you're not as tall and can't jump as high. But hey, you get to play with three other dudes and kill lots of Covenant, and I am totally down for that.
The idea of a diablo-like FPS where there are literally millions of guns makes me drool, and Borderlands delivered that.
Probably the best treatment of a band-based rhythm game I've ever played. Of course, it doesn't hurt that I love The Beatles, but man those dreamscapes were off the hook.
The absurd amounts of destruction (and the number of ways you could go about achieving said destruction) made this game highly enjoyable for me.
Man, I didn't think they'd ever make a good Batman game, but somehow they pulled it off. I still need to beat the last boss, though, but from what I played this is an A game.
As someone who rarely enjoys JRPGs, this game knocked me for a loop. I enjoyed pretty much every moment I spent with this game.
I haven't dedicated much time to this game, because it's such an epic old-school RPG and I don't have the time to dedicate to it, however, it is an amazing piece of work, especially the party banter.
This game was probably the most pleasant surprise for me this year. I rented it expecting a game with an idiotic but hilarious story and terrible gameplay, but instead I got a game with an idiotic but hilarious story but surprisingly decent gameplay.
