Shocked at the possibility that MGS4 might make it even remotely close to the top this year. Maybe it's just me, but that's a serious sign of the times. I voted MGS3 without any hesitation that year, but MGS4 is Fission Mailed in my eyes. To each his own I guess!

1. Midnight Club Los Angeles- Glad to see the love here. Deserves a special award for (allegedly) killing off the Need for Speed series.

2. Golden Tee 2009- shut up, the new courses are nice. Tiger who? :D

3. LittleBigPlanet- My PS3 purchase is (mostly) justified.

4. Soulcalibur IV- for all the flaws in it, it's still good. I just wish that they would put more time into the gameplay than in Ivy's titty jiggle next time, 'tis all.

5. BlazBlue- the Nexus Game Center got this in finally, and they even imported a Vewlix cab for the hell of it. It's pretty good, but I saw someone take the loli vampire chick all the way to the final boss and the final boss, for the lack of a better phrase, proceeded to assrape the player in such a way that I expected Shao Khan to pop up and say, "It's official, you suck!" It wasn't even fair...

6. Rez HD- Do I have to explain this one?

7. GTAIV- I liked it, but I stopped playing after
I got the mission to kill the lawyer
and have yet to pick it up again...

8. MGS4- It's okay, but the storyline left me more confused than a hungry baby at a topless bar...

9. Madden 09- only because the cover curse strikes again! Fuck the Jets and the plane they came in from! :D

10. Duke Nukem 3D XBLA- DOOK NOOKEM. FUCK YEAR. EVEN RAVI DRUMMMMMMMMMZ WAS EXCITED. :D

Man, this is a surprisingly good year for games, judging from a few games that I loved that didn't make the cut (No More Heroes, Apollo Justice, The World Ends With You, Burnout Paradise, Braid, etc.).

Special award for most annoying: Dead Space and Mirror's Edge. Nice ideas but both games were built from the ground-up to be so freaking irritating.

I'd put Killzone 2 Multiplayer Beta at the top of the list if I could, though :) Such an awesome game.
