Im not really sure where to start this blog as ive not really done anything in the last week or so that i havent already talked about before, so i got thinking about how i have viewed this last year and more spefically how i have viewed it in terms of games what were my highs what were my lows and what do i consider to be the GAME OF THE YEAR?
It has been an ok year that would be my overall view of it some good games some not so good, MW2 came along and scared some of the other fish out of the sea so in the end i cant help thinking that the year could have been a lot more than it turned out to be. That said there were still some great moments and some games that i really enjoyed so in reverse order here are my top 5 games of 2009.
5. "Resident Evil 5"
Having been a resident evil fan for as long as i remember this was kinda a no brainer i know some people have said its not scary and theres no zombies and all that other shit that makes me realise that if people like that made games we would still be playing the same shit we were 15 years ago change happens deal with it. I found it to be a lot of fun even if it was fairly mindless but coop is always great it had a good story and was wrapped up in stunning graphics this was most certainly an early year treat.
4. Shadow Complex
Shadow complex is a xbox arcade game and its better than a lot of in store releases this game is fucking great think metroid old school style with terrorist and a lead guy whos both Jack Bauer and Drake from uncharted rolled into one, Great fun at a low price a must download.
3. Left 4 Dead 2
If you think this game came out to soon after the orignal your right but that doesnt mean that its not brilliant loads of new features 5 news campaigns loads of new modes and the same fun with your mates from the first theres nothing here not to love. The first time a plan comes off perfectly in versus mode will make the cost of this game disapear pure enjoyment that you will replay loads. Also Ellis is one of the best caracters in a game for a long time funny as hell and with a high pitched girly scream to destroy your ear drums to that motherfucker keeps on giving.
2. Assassins Creed 2
Most improved sequal ever fact! I began writing this blog thinking this was my game of the year until something else came back into my mind however this is the most fun you can have with yourself without picures of megan fox this xmas its amazing and has a story thats longer than most games out there lots of bang for you buck with this title.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!
1. Batman Arkham Asylum
This is my game of the year even though i think Assassins Creed 2 is better but i think this deserves it for a few reasons firstly it shows that good comic games can be made and dont need to be quick cashins it has a really deep understanding of the batman universe and refrences almost everything locations villians everything no stone left unturned and its a amazing game which is only let down by some poor boss fights. A special mention must however be made for the voice acting which is second to none its brilliant Mark Hamil is there definitve Joker none of this Heath Ledger shit that bandwagon has moved on quicker than blaming George Bush for everything (I say he did a good job!)
Anyway thats it blog over go have a good xmas i know its been a shit read i had fuck all to write about so i dont want no shit.
Now fuck off and have a good xmas comments are welcomed and buy some Little big Planet dlc Sackboy has expenisve habbits and you dont want him to go feral on your asses and mug you on new years day!

Not a bad list can see good reasoning for each choice. What i like most though is the almost even balance between single player and multiplayer related games. Neither one is great in excess in my opinion so this list would make a more fulfilling experience. This is my top 5 list for 2009...
ReplyDelete5. Killzone 2
4. Halo ODST
3. Resident evil the darkside chronicles
2. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes of Liberty City
1. Forza Motorsport 3
I've yet to play Uncharted 2 but i think that would have replaced Killzone 2 for 5th place if i had. Resident Evil 5 was quite close to a position for me but in the end, despite being a big fan of the series, i decided that the less story - more action aspect of the game had taken the series to a place i didn't like. still i suppose Capcom are just responding to the booming demand for action/shooters instead of keeping faithful to the oldskool draw of Resident Evil ie: survival horror. But as Raz7el said, games do have to progress or we'd all be fed up by now. I just hope this new found style of resident evil can find its niche or it's in danger of becoming just another shooter...
