5 Of The Best Video Game Characters Introduced In 2009

We are getting closer and closer to the end of 2009, so it's that time where we reminisce of all the best things brought to us this year. With that being said I decided to create a list of the five best brand spanking new characters introduced to us in a Video Game this year. I hope you guys will agree with me on the list; however if you feel like giving me an ear full (or a paragraph full in this case) about my choices, then remember to comment with your opinions below. I like to get you guys involved in the fun too, remember your opinion is just as important as mine.

This list is in no particular order.

agreed re: Chloe (Uncharted) & Morrigan (Dragon Age)
although they are quite similar.

a complete list, however, would have to include:

Ellis - Left 4 Dead 2
Claptrap - Borderlands

Next Year, I Promise I Will Play A Different Character In Dragon Age: Origins

I've played the exact same Warden in Dragon Age: Origins for years. In 2025, I will finally make a different one. Maybe.

Tried it before, doesn't work. I tried to to play a Dalish archer but ended up being a Dwarf Noble warrior again, must be a bug

OtterX182d ago

Next year is tomorrow, so you'll start a new character tomorrow, right? 🤔

OtterX182d ago

It's not now, at least where I live. It's 2025 as of 2 hours ago. :P

Bercilak182d ago

Seriously? I play every playable character there is: a male human noble.

TheColbertinator182d ago

My preferred origin is Dalish Elf Archer that recruits the Templars, Baelen's Dwarves with Golems and Dalish Elves. Took me 3 playthroughs to lock down a "true" file for me. What a game.

Uncharted 2 Is the Most Important PlayStation Exclusive of All Time

In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.

it was pretty good. especially the multiplayer

KyRo236d ago

I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.

-Foxtrot236d ago

Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.

A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.

Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.

Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.

gold_drake236d ago

i had so much fun too, played almost every night with mates or cousins baha

Relientk77236d ago

It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.

RaidenBlack236d ago (Edited 236d ago )

Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...

RaiderNation236d ago

I would argue it's God of War.

darthv72236d ago

I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
