Top 10: Games to save 2009

VideoGamer.com writes: "It seems the theme of the summer has been game delays. While this holiday season looked like being jam packed with quality releases, in recent weeks the schedule has been thinning. With a sense of disappointment in the air we're here to ease your concerns with our Top 10: Games to save 2009. We aren't going to be playing BioShock 2, Heavy Rain or Splinter Cell Conviction on Christmas Day, but there's still a lot to look forward to. Oh, and before anyone moans, we've classed GTA4 DLC The Ballad of Gay Tony as an add-on, so it's not included here."

[Myst]

*Holds up a sign*

[el zorro]

Halo 3 ODST
Borderlands (maybe)
Uncharted 2
Modern Warfare 2
Assassin's Creed 2

Those are the games from this list that I plan on getting later this year.

@RememberThe357

No man, I am looking forward to that game too. I just listed the games I want that are on their list.

[RememberThe357]

Oh well, I guess it'll be one of the niche games that I sing the praises of and no one knows what I'm talking about. Okami anyone?

[Myst]

Jeez I wrote that comment a long time ago, anyway I think we are all forgetting the most important one of all. :), at least I feel it should be on the list just as Dissidia should have been as well.

[Jmlopezbr]

No Ratchet and Clank: ACIT either...

UC2, R&C: ACIT, AC2, MW2, and possibly Borderlands are what I am getting. Also... but very unlikely, import FFXIII.

[Carl1412]

No love for MAG either. Weird...

[mal_tez92]

"Dare we say it? Uncharted was a good game but not nearly as incredible as many made it out to be."

Bad statement, AND they left out Ratchet and Clank.
I AM DISSAPOINT

[LordMarius]

"Dare we say it? Uncharted was a good game but not nearly as incredible as many made it out to be. We really enjoyed it though, and it still stands head and shoulders above most titles visually - we expect the sequel to be far, far better though. All of what we've seen so far looks great, although the key will be how the cover-based combat mixes with the Lara Croft-like exploration and climbing. There's no question it's going to be one of the most impressive looking games ever, though, so be prepared for another round of "my console is better than yours" on the popular internet forums"

[Infernostew]

Uncharted 1 looks so good that the moron who wrote the article didn't even realized that he used a picture from the first one when writing about the sequel.

[SnuggleBandit]

yep lol i thought the same exact thing when i saw that pic

[mal_tez92]

Drake's Fortune to this day is the most played game in my library. I must have played through it over twenty times. It is just so much better than any other game in a lot of ways. But simply, I've never enjoyed myself quite as much with any other game, the gameplay is just too good.

Hopefully the sequel is just as good, but it is hard to improve on perfection.

[NegativeCreep427]

for the Xbox 360 owners. PS3 gamers have had it pretty good up to now.

[el zorro]

What game, other than Uncharted 2, should I be dying to play on PS3 later this year? Sorry, but for my tastes nothing else looks good to me. The new Ratchet & Clank game will be pretty good, but it isn't my type of game. Umm..let's see, what else has been confirmed? Oh, Demons Souls looks pretty decent, so that is a maybe. What else am I missing that is confirmed?

[Shadow Man]

That all you getting this year.

MAG is gonna get rape by Modern Warfare2.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Killzone 2
MLB:09 The Show
inFamous
Demons souls
Uncharted 2
Eye pet
MAG
Ninja gaiden sigma 2
Ratchet & Clank: ACIT

Yep, 2009 has and will continue to be fantastic for PS3 owners and ONLY PS3 owners.

With mass effect 2 and Splinter cell delayed till 2010 360's lineup is shameful at best.Some generic arcade racer, Halo & L4D dlc.

That's it, that's all folks.

[lloyd_wonder]

Uncharted 2 (E3 Game of the Show)
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (Great action, now with coop and superior graphics)
Ratchet & Clank (Great action/ platformer) first scored an 89 on metacritic
Call of Duty (Multiplayer goodness on free PSN)
Demons souls (Great RPG/ dungeon crawler)
Killzone 2 (AAA)
MLB The Show (AAA)
inFamous
MAG
Eye Pet

Agreed, Canadianguy. And before you bots start on Ninja Gaiden, if it was MGS4 coming to the 360 with extras this holiday you'd be over the flipping moon and have it in your lists.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

The salesbots really are a strange bunch.In their mind, somehow, someway, the last few months of the year > the entire years lineup.

They completely blocked it out.Can't really blame them.Playing flops like Halo wars and Ninja blade would drive anyone crazy LOL!

[air1]

says the guy that had nothing to play for almost 2 years (mgs4)

let me take a page from the sony fanatics, "wait till next year" lol...

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Lmao @ Air

Says the guy who hasn't played anything good since Gears 2 last year.
Duurrr hurr hurrr

Don't be coy.There was plenty of good games before MGS4 came out.
Warhawk
Uncharted
Heavenly sword
Resistance: FOM
R&C: Future tools of destruction
MLB 08: The show
GT5: Prologue
Etc.

I suppose i should lower my standards when talking to a bot.
Can't expect any common sense from you guys.

:)

[air1]

what a clown..

those are low standards when i was playing games like bio shock halo 3 fable 2 l4d mass effect gears ng2 etc..

again you had no real game worth having a ps3 till mgs4 almost 2 years later..

"just wait til next year, you just wait" sound familiar? hahaa...

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Speaking of clowns, NG2, L4D & Fable 2 didn't even come out till the same time or way After MGS4.So take those out of your inflated list.

Bioshock, NG2, Now multiplats with PS3 having the superior version of both.LOL!

All you really had was Halo, ME & Gears.LMFAO
Reality hurts hm?

[raztad]

Yeah 2009 has been pretty solid for PS3 so far, UC2 and GT5 will close the deal. Not to mention the biggest RPG this year: Demons Souls and probably the best so far this gen (not sure if its better than VC though). ACiT will be awesome as well.

[maniacmayhem]

Modern Warfare 2 hands down will save Christmas!

[el zorro]

Yes, Modern Warfare 2 is going to be exceptional. Day 1 for me.

[swiftshot93]

agreed. Its gonna be incredible to say the least. GOTY contender for sure. Im gonna play some MW now actually...

[raztad]

I dont know how Generic Warfare 2 is gonna save anything. Sorry but the more I see the game more generic it looks to me.

[poopsack]

but its called call of duty

[Ninji]

It's a Top 10 list of games but only 9 games are listed. lol

[miasma]

i am having a great time with all the games already out this year.

[-MD-]

I can't decide if I want to blow my money on video games again this year or just gamefly them all.

Halo 3: ODST
Borderlands
Uncharted 2
Modern Warfare 2
Forza 3
Assassin's Creed 2

I'll be playing all of them regardless.

[RememberThe357]

I'm guying Brutal Legend, Uncharted 2, and ODST. the rest I plan on GameFlying for now.

[el zorro]

You should buy at least some of them. We need to support the hobby we love. Gameflying is good for some games, but if everybody only rented games the developers wouldn't even be able to make games any more.

[-MD-]

I'm leaning toward buying Borderlands.

I've already decided on buying Left 4 Dead 2 and Modern Warfare 2.

[NegativeCreepWA]

I'm gameflying more and buying less this year, the last two years have been pretty hard on my wallet.

[raztad]

@Remember

Unless you are a HUUUUGE Halo fan, I suggest you to gamefly ODST. Game is getting just 3 new map packs that probably will be on xbl later.

[swiftshot93]

Assassin's Creed 2, Uncharted 2, and Modern Warfare 2 are my most anticipated games. I also think that they will be the best games of Holiday 09.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Uncharted 2 baby.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

It's insane how you have 5 disagrees for saying a game you're excited for.
Some truly jealous people on this site.

[CWMR]

-Look at the guys up there who said that they were excited for Modern Warfare 2 and they got like 10 disagrees-

[Carl1412]

That's because MW is crap. You hear me? CRAP!!

*hides from disagrees*

[Shadow017]

what about l4d2 =(

[RockmanII7]

Agreed. L4D2 > Batman

[imec]

Borderlands is the only game that I am even remotely interested in.

[Covenant]

...Brutal Legend and Dragon Age: Origins...?

[tdogchristy90]

halo odst, assassins creed, MW2, and Uncharted 2 FTW!!!!

[green]

Forza 3, ODST, Borderlands, Dragon Age: Origins,Modern Warfare 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 2.

[Saaking]

PS3 owners have been getting a constant stream of great games and will continue all the way thought the coming months. The PS3 has the most and best exclusives along with all the multiplats. The PS3 is the console to own this year.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

2010 starts off with a bang for PS3

WKC
Heavy Rain
GOW3

Not to mention the great multiplats like..

Mafia 2
Mass effect 1&2 on one blu-ray disc
The Agency
DC Universe

Gonna be a great year

[NaiNaiNai]

Man almost everyone of those games is on my list.

BTW i've been meaning to ask this, in borderlands can you make your own character or are those the 4 you can pick from. >.> sorry if its a stupid question.

[RadientFlux]

I find it interesting that all the games I'm looking forward to this Fall are all multiplatform titles and two them are published by EA.

Brutal Legend, Dragon Age, and Alpha Protocol

[air1]

inflated games? ookkk...

sure lets deflate the 360's library just so that the ps3 can look better.. ;)

bu bu but i can play bio shock now! after how many petitions? lmao. how long after? yea...

all you really have is mlb 09 :P

like i said you just wait till 2010...

[ThatCanadianGuy]

All i did was use facts and reality to deflate your bogus list of games you COULDN'T POSSIBLY PLAY untill MGS4 came out.Because they weren't out

That was the point of your rant "No PS3 games till MGS4 blah, blah"

Yet, the games I mentioned are all great, all fun, ALL before MGS4.
MLB 09? What are you talking about now? 2009 games? Don't get me started on PS3's superior (In every way) 09 lineup.

[Saaking]

For me Sony Wins every year
2007- uncharted, heavenly sword, ratchet and clank
2008- LBP, Resistance 2, MGS 4
2009- Uncharted 2, MAG, Killzone 2, Infamous, possibly GT 5
2010- The Last Guardian, God of War 3, Heavy Rain
2011- Agent and who knows but it'll be great.
There's no denying the quality of PS3 exclusives. View

[ArcticWolfUK]

list is bollox
why aint splinter cell and mass effect there?

oh...

[freitox]

Save 2009?:/ I've had a blast with infamous and killzone 2 (and shatter and wipeoutHD), but I can't wait for uncharted2 (the beta was like crack), modern warfare 2 (just hope the campaign is kickass) and I shall pray to the gods to release GT5 this year : D And 2009 will be a kickass year.

[ricardo45]

Where is Alpha Protocol

[unbiasedgamer251]

From what I think I have heard (about Borderlands) you select one of the four characters, and then chose some colors to decorate there clothing and such with. Great list, but I could of expanded the list to at least 20. Though I still can't recall this year being in need of saving.

[-Mezzo-]

2009 for PS3 has been the best yet and Q4 looks to be even more better. it is 360 that requires all the saving.
