Best Games of 2009

Forget about 2008. GameDaily is ready to celebrate the new year with these excellent games.

[chaosatom]

ok, wasn't as gay as i expect from game daily.

But they missed Heavy rain, Uncharted 2.

[Johnny Cullen]

Yeah, was expecting just God of War III there as it was on the side bar. But they did have Killzone 2 and inFamous

Still, most of the list is multiplatform but if Final Fantasy XIII and Tekken 6 wasn't multi plat, there would be 5 PS3 exclusives in there instead of 3.

[Eiffel]

Heavy rain is still a mystery (Sony pulling the whole CGI animation instead of GamePlay for E3) Its said to be about a Serial Killer or something I don't know.

[Monkey521]

What CGI thing are you referring to? All Heavy Rain footage was Real Time.

[IzKyD1331]

yeah, but I think they should put in MAG

[MiloGarret]

Why MAG? Absolutely nothing has been revealed about the game except that its massive... And the fact that it has the worst name EVER.

Anyways, another great gaming year, looking forward most to GOW3 (YEAH BABY!!!), Infamous, KZ2, RE5, SF4, Tekken 6 and hopefully coming out (though not on the list) Mass Effect 2. Wow, looks like my ps3 is finally gonna get the usage such a fine piece of machinery deserves.

Enjoy people!

[supahbad]

i like the name MAG, why not just lay it on the line rather than go by some goofy generic name? maybe you could just go by another acronym like...Most Actual Gorillas

[mercyless9]

are you kidding ! 2008 gave us lots of quality titles and i still cant afford all of em

[Panipal2005]

OK the first title in that list is Skate 2 WTF

[witchking]

I would have added a few others that look promising:
Dragon Age: Origins
Alpha Protocol
Rise of the Argonauts
Borderlands
Darksiders: Wrath of War

These are some on my list of games to keep an eye on, and they could conceivably be better than some of the dreck on this list.

[MiloGarret]

Darksiders, deff darksider, looks awesome. GOW with a biblical twist, niiiiice.

[INehalemEXI]

Darksiders huh.. That one slipped under my radar. Sounds cool.

[T-Baggins]

Eiffel - It even says at the beginning of the video that its all in game footage, David Cage even played the demo in front of people what are you talking about.

[JonahNL]

My list:
Empire: Total War - February '09
Street Fighter IV - February '09
Demigod - February '09
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin - TBA Q1 '09
Aliens: Colonial Marines - TBA Q1 '09
Bionic Commando - TBA '09
Metro 2033 - TBA '09
Rage - TBA '09
Doom 4 - TBA '09
Borderlands - TBA '09

i want team ico

[shine1396]

nice avatar

[littletad]

Agree

[BEY]

yeeaahhh GOD OF WAR 3 all the way that will dominate and can some1 tell me wat halo:recon is?

[play_b3yond]

Halo Recon is an expansion pack to Halo 3 which is supposed to be released sometime during winter of 2009 on 360. I think it's like Call of Duty and Call of Duty United Offensive.

[Myze]

Maybe I'm just ready for a really good RPG this generation, but I would say White Knight Chronicles should be well ahead of many of the games they listed, considering what Level5 has promised from the game.

[MK_Red]

For me: Heavy Rain, Alan Wake, Splatterhouse and Bayonetta.

[Firstkn1ghT]

Oh yeah I forgot about Splatterhouse. That should be a fun game.

[tocrazed4you]

Is white knight chronicles, and they should put final fantasy versus 13 if they got 13 on that list...

[otherZinc]

[JonahFalcon]

They list Halo 3 Recon, but that's coming out in 2008, not 2009.

My poor wallet:(

[Eiffel]

I meant in terms of CGI like GOW III, MAG, ect I did not refer to Heavy Rain specificly in not having real time I was really refering to Heavy Rains plot.
