Gaming in 2009

Before I start, i need to say that I’m not actually a very avid gamer, and I can’t always afford to get the most current games. This article is about the games I enjoyed most in 2009, and some of them may be from 2008, but that’s just how I roll. I won’t be declaring any “best of 2009’s” because I haven’t played enough of the good games this year to make that decision.

If you look at some other gaming sites, you’ll notice that most of their “best of 2009” games were released in the past few months. It makes sense, since there really are a lot of good games that just came out, but this might also be evidence that these recent games are simply still on peoples’ minds. As far as I can tell, though, the best game this year that I haven’t played is certainly Uncharted 2. I’ll have to get on that. I don’t have much love for any sorts of online multiplayer games, so things like Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 can only hold my interest so far. I will give L4D2 a shot someday, but it’s not a priority. Assassin’s Creed 2 probably doesn’t have the kind of content that would keep me playing to the end. And what did I play, of the general “top picks” of this year?
