Best of 2009

Guys. I really like making these lists. Lets see how far back we can take these. So 2009. I was living in Rohnert Park. I bought a kotatsu from some weirdo who lived in Novato and previously worked at Apple. I had a cookie tray that I would throw my laptop on top of so it would not overheat while I streamed episodes of Lost on Netflix. I would sit with my legs under the heated kotatsu playing Forza 3 and streaming Lost from my laptop and legally drinking beer. Those were good and comfy times. I really enjoyed them.

List items

• 

  1. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

  Jeeze I love this game. My roommate would always make fun of it though. He used to call it Unfarted Poo. People can really be rude. Not me. Not in 2015. I am more considerate than ever now.

• 

  2. Red Faction: Guerrilla

  In this game you had a sledgehammer and you could take down huge building with it. You could smash a wall to gain entry into a bunker. It was very fun. I don't think everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. I still highly recommend it.

• 

  3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

  Before CoD was stale. This game was a great improvement on CoD 4. I picked up Advanced Warfare the other day and that is a good game too.

• 

  4. Resident Evil 5

  I never played this game with a computer companion. The two times I played through it I played couch coop. And jeeze were those sessions fun.

• 

  5. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

  This may be the only portable game I finished. I really got into this one. You could buy drugs for low prices and sell them at higher prices. But sometimes it was a bust.

• 

  6. Halo 3: ODST

  This was my first Halo game I owned. It was a good one. The soft jazz was on point. Also there was a hoard mode that was super super fun. They kept this mode in other iterations but I feel like it was best executed here.

• 

  7. Batman: Arkham Asylum

  This game was the first superhero game to not suck. But that is not the only reason why it was good. It was also just good on its own. I should get a thesaurus maybe.

• 

  8. Forza Motorsport 3

  Did I spoil this by mentioning it earlier? I would play this game and zone out. I like racing games. Why not?

• 

  9. Left 4 Dead 2

  I feel like people were let down by this game. Whatever. It was good. It was a good sequel too.

• 

  10. Punch-Out!!

  I can't believe a Punch-Out game was released in 2009. The music was awesome and the graphics were very stylized. All the opponents spoke in their native tongue and that was cool too.
