The Escapist Staff's Five Faves of 2009: John It's almost 2010, but what were John's five favorite games from 2009? | |
great list Funk | |
I agree to a degree. You should have had Dragon Age in there, somewhere. | |
Glad to see L4D2 made it in there somewhere =D Although Ass Creed II? Well, each to hiw own I suppose. | |
Great List! And I'm currently playing through Assassin's Creed 2 (Got it for Christmas) and am just loving it. At first I was thinking 'This is just like number 1', but as I got further in the game and got new gadgets and really noticed and experienced the changes...the game just shines. And I can't stop playing! I was up early to get a few missions in, and I found myself saying 'Just one more Assassination before work!' Anyways, great list, Funk! | |
I'm liking your list much more. I think Assassin's Creed 2 has finaly taken some of my attention away from Biooshock. | |
Good list, although you've ruined the trend of either Dragon AGe or Modern Warfare 2 as top. | |
Pretty good list. I agree with most of it ^^. Though I must say I would have hoped to have seen borderlands in there. Does anyone know if Susan Arendt is going to make a top 5? | |
Borderlands would have been an easy #6. I felt bad for cutting it :(
I only just got Dragon Age, and it hasn't really "grabbed me" so far. I keep just going back to play more L4D2. | |
Shame on you! | |
No Uncharted 2 love, I see. But it doesn't really matter to me. I think Uncharted 2 is great, and I don't need anyone else to confirm that for me. | |
I totally agree with him on assassins creed 2. My fave to. | |
im happy just cuz assasins creed is in there. | |
Great list. I, too, am loving Assassin's Creed 2 at the moment. I tried the torchlight demo and almost turned to stone it was so boring. | |
I'm wondering, are these lists in any particular order? | |
Totally agree with 1, 3, 4, and 5. Left 4 Dead is good at what it does, and is great, but its just not my thing. Giving Assassin's Creed and Blazblue some love! | |
Good list of games, I didn't heard of some of them but am now curious to try them. :D | |
Kudos. AC2 is far and away my favourite game of the year too, for almost exactly the reasons you said. If I have the 'favourite game of the year' discussion with anyone else, I might just point them to this article to save me the effort of explaining... | |
Probably my favorite list so far. Assassin's Creed 2 still stands as my number 1 with AA as number 2. And though it took me a while to try the multiplayer online, L4D 2 just became too fun to play on scavenger. Just woulda put borderlands in there, but Funk already covered what was up with that so it all works out. | |
Glad to see Torchlight got a mention, it's easily one of my favourite games of 2009 if not my favourite (Left 4 Dead 2 comes to mind as well) | |
I picked up Torchlight during the Steam sale for $10, perhaps the best money I have spent on a game since Titan Quest & Immortal Throne For $20. I was put off by Torchlights WoW'esk graphics at first, but once the hack n slash action kicks in its very easy to gloss over the visuals and get sucked into the world. | |
I don't have anything to say about this list, but I commented on Jordan's and Susan's lists and I didn't want John to feel left out. (I know I'm an important character around here and stuff.) Why am I not playing Torchlight? I would guess my computer can't run it. It's that bad. | |
Bought time Assassins creed two got on a list. I also agree that I would still play the game if all it was was just climb to the top of everything creed two. oh and great list. | |
Dude, Torchlight has a netbook mode. A NETBOOK mode. It can run on anything made past 2001, I'd wager. | |
Blazblue sounds pretty awesome, where can i get it at? btw great list | |
I still don't get why people pay for fighting games, but otherwise nice list. You forgot to mention that Torchlight = Diablo 2 in every aspect except for the stuff it adds. | |
Pretty good list, I don't like seeing l4d 2 so high though. | |
I recommend giving it some more time. It took me a while to get into it, but now I am really enjoying it. Though at times it can be a bit frustrating. | |
Yeah I thought that list was very diverse but seriously Ass Creed as #1? | |
I agree with this as well. Maybe take out Torchlight so as not to overstimulate the RPG muscle? | |
Good to see BlazBlue there, Funk, partly since I decided to finally order it (in my defense, I didn't have a PS3 or 360 until this Christmas). Also, I'm considering getting Assassins Creed II thanks to this and some friends of mine. | |
I'm glad to see Blazblue get some love. Blazblue is my favorite fighting game ever. Period. Its pretty much as perfect as a fighter will ever get. Soul Calibur 2 was my old favorite but Blazblue tops it. Not to mention after 2 the series just spiraled downward. | |
starcraft 2? HA! good one Mr. Funk! If it ever does come out I'm not buying it, I'm thoroughly convinced that Blizzard is evil <_< ..... well maybe I'll buy a used copy.... anyhow, pretty good list--pretty much what I expected. Although, I didn't expect to see Assassin's Creed 2 in there o_O | |
Nice List, Mr Funk - I have to agree with Assassins Creed 2 as the top of the list - I've restarted the game after finishing because I just enjoy it so damn much; my only complaint is I reached an end and had no more story to play ;) | |
Your list is very...ahem...FUNKy. | |
