Best Video Game Of 2009


MT Zehvor

346 views

It's that time of year again(except maybe a little bit earlier to make way for best game of the decade) that we have our huge playoff to decide the best game of 2009. At first glance, it really didn't look like a good year for video games, but some games from earlier in the year have returned. It's time to settle the best video game of the year. Vote in each matchup for what you think was the best video game of the two.

 

#1 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 vs. #8 Wii Punch Out

 

#2 Halo 3: ODST vs. #7 Killzone 2

 

#3 Left 4 Dead 2 vs. #6 Halo Wars

 

#4 Infamous vs. #5 Batman: Arkham Asylum

 

Quite honestly, outside of the total blowout that the first matchup should have, I can see any of these going either way. Here are my votes and the updated scores.

 

MW2 1, Punch Out 0

ODST 1, Killzone 0

L4D2 1, Halo Wars 0

Infamous 1, Arkham 0

 

Voting will end in about a week.

#1 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 vs. #8 Wii Punch Out: Modern Warfare 2

 

#2 Halo 3: ODST vs. #7 Killzone 2: Haven't played either one. They got the same score from Gamespot; so no vote.

 

#3 Left 4 Dead 2 vs. #6 Halo Wars: Again, haven't played either one.

 

#4 Infamous vs. #5 Batman: Arkham Asylum: Infamous

 

You should add Uncharted 2 and Borderlands to the list.

I find the inclusion of Wii Punch Out over Uncharted 2 disturbing...

 

Anyway,

 

1. MW2: Fun game with a flawed story, also Wii is overrated.

2. Halo 3: ODST: Firefight is good times, Killzone 2 not so much

3. Halo Wars: It's the first console RTS done right, not to mention L4D2 didn't feel very improved over L4D so it's lack of innovation holds it back in this scenario.

4. Batman: Arkham Asylum: Never got a chance to play Infamous, but what I have played of Batman was soooooooooooo good.

Quite honestly, I found the inclusion of it over several other games kinda annoying, but I'm not even the one who picks what goes in. That whole mess is done on the (insert certain gaming website that I'm not allowed to mention) forums.

 

I can explain Larry's problem. Assassin's Creed was released too late to be reviewed, and thus will be included in next year's playoffs.

 

I was pretty angry when I saw that Punch-Out had even gotten the last spot, but then again, these are the same noobs that voted Super Mario Galaxy as the #1 seed in 2007. Maybe next year I'll just have this whole thing be BZP based.

 

Anyways, Modern Warfare 2 just finished the shut out, so it's gone. Score update:

 

#1 Call of Duty: 8, #8 Wii Punch Out 0. Call of Duty advances on a mercy rule policy.

 

#2 ODST: 7 #7 Killzone: 1. ODST advances on a mercy rule policy.

 

#3 Left 4 Dead: 4, #6 Halo Wars: 3

 

#4 Infamous: 4, #5 Arkham Asylum: 5

 

2nd Round:

 

#1 Call of Duty MW2 vs. Infamous-Arkham winner

#2 Halo 3: ODST vs. L4D2-Halo Wars winner

- Modern Warfare 2

- Killzone 2

- L4D2, I think, will be better.

- Here, I'm going to go with Infamous -- incredibly fun for the small amount of time I played it.

Read the above post? Hello?

 

FINAL SCORES:

Call of Duty WM2: 9, Punch Out: 0 ([sarcasm] Who saw this one coming? [/sarcasm]Complete domination. Why did those nubs put this in as the #8 seed again..

 

Halo 3 ODST: 7, Killzone 2: 2 (Really not a contest either. Halo once again dominates another relatively small known franchise. And the UNSC rolls into the next round)

 

L4D2: 5, Halo Wars: 3 (This was a little closer than I expected, but the zombie madness pulled it out against the first ever Halo strategy. Up next? Another Halo game, and this one figures to end the zombies run at a best game of the year title.

 

Infamous: 4, Arkham Asylum: 5 (This actually ended regulation tied at 4. So I went to tiebreaker, which is the highest GS score. Only that turned out to be tied as well. But the user score, which favored Arkham 9.2-8.9, broke the tie and sent Batman and co. to it's probable doom against MW2.
