Top Five of 09

Well, another year has come and gone. Many blogged about 2009 being a year with not a lot of big releases, yet it had the biggest single game release ever with Modern Warfare 2. I’m listing my personal top five favorite games this year below. For me, the biggest disappointment this year was King of Fighters XII. What’s your Fav Five for the year and your biggest disappointment?

1.) Street Fighter IV(360/PS3) – Capcom still has it. I was afraid we would never see another Street Fighter game, and we got that and soon Super Street Fighter IV.

2.) Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii) – Beautiful 2-D Fighter. Well drawn, lots of action, giant boss battles and the game makes me so hungry for Japanese food!

3.) Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Wii) – Wrote the review earlier; a nice addition to the franchise.

4.) Assassin’s Creed 2 (360/PS3) – A beautiful game. I like the story, the puzzles, love the feeling of being in Italy. Very well done.

5.) Infamous (PS3) – Do you like this, or do you prefer Prototype? I’ll take Infamous, because at least I can pretend to be a good guy and its graphic novelesque cut scenes.
