What was your game of the year for '09?

 

[PSPhubDood]

Modern Warfare 2.

 

[Lord Sirian]

No competition for me.

Prototype.

I paid 0 attention to the story, but for me, there is nothing more fun than gliding around the city, sprinting up the side of a building and then elbow dropping 300 stories on to someone's face.

Dragon Age: Origins for RPG
Batman Arkham Asylum for 3rd person Action Adventure
but if I want to choose between the two of them, and that is a tough one, but I'll pick Batman, it was an amazing game indeed

 

[Warfare]

Hmm, that is a hard one. No games really appealed to me this year. I was going to say MW2, but IMO it lost its competitiveness after the completely and utterly stupid idea to pull dedicated servers out.

I never played Dragon Age: Origins but it looks extremely good, I would nominate this, but I never played it so I could not say firs-hand.

 

[Tiber Septim]

Torchlight. Prototype is a close second.

 

[Aus_Karlos]

It has to be Dragon Age for me. Still playing it and love every minute of it.

 

[dwalk1989]

I would say Dragon Age: Origins, as well. Although I haven't played Torchlight. I have played Prototype, and it's good, but only as good as say a cheesy blockbuster movie.

dragon age gets my vote

it was easy for me to pick the best of 2009 as this was the only game this year that i bought. nothing else out that was worth buying

 

[RockmasteR]

Assassin's Creed 2 will receive something this year for sure
MW2 will get something as well for the consoles maybe
Torchlight, Prototype, Resident Evil 5, Trine, Burnout Paradise are all nominees as well

 

[Kevlar21]

left 4 dead 2, no doubt about it!

I would also have to vote Dragon Age: Origins. Fantastic play and great action however to add to the best game of 09' what about the best lcd monitor on which to play these games? Right now I am selling my LG Flatron 22' and hoping to get a 1920x1080 LG 23' or 24' with the higher res rate. Not too sure wether to go for that or an asus model.

But anyhow I totaally love DA:Origins and a feature I really love is that you can switch between games currently being played. I have three campaigns going right now with a human noble, magi and a dwarven warrior. I can easily switch characters and play whatever one I want and then there's the awesom online profile you can view.

I didn't want to post in this until I'd given Dragon Age: Origins a try. Now that I have, it has my vote for game of the year. There were some very good games released this year, including Red Faction: Guerrilla and Mirror's Edge. I was hoping that Black Mesa would come out, but unfortunately it didn't make it this year. Overall, though, Dragon Age: Origins takes the cake.

 

[Zealex]

What's Black Mesa? It sounds half life related.

It's a remake of the original Half-Life using the source engine. Had it been released, I think it definitely would have been a contender for game of the year, even though it's technically only a mod.

 

[Lord Sirian]

DA: O hasn't got much competition it looks like. =P I haven't played it yet so it can't be considered in my choice.

 

[Mart2912]

I'm between Anno 1404 (One of the most polished/well finished games I've played in a while) and DA:O.
