Best Games of 2009

And yet again I left this blog in a limbo for two weeks. Anyway, trying to keep it alive, I’m going to post about videogames YET AGAIN! Do you see any problem with that? No? Then we’ll get along.

Keep in mind that I will include every games I played this year, so they don’t merely have to be the ones released this year.

Time for me to bust my top list! And like ckzatwork (who I’m liking more and more), I’ll include every games I’ve played this year.

GOTY
Undecided because I haven’t played too many 2009 games

Best Original Music
Is there anything better than Super Mario Galaxy? No. Ok.

Best Game that Made Me Buy An Ink Spots Album
Fallout 3, though Bioshock also has their songs

Old consoles that I still keep playing throughout the year
Super NES

Games I still play on my SNES
Wild Guns, Super Mario All Stars, Super Punch-Out!!

And when I’m playing Old PC Games, it’s usually
Old Lucasarts adventure games. I beat Monkey Island 2, 3, Indiana Jones and the Fate of the Atlantis, and Broken Sword again this year

But since my PC isn’t old, I’ve been using it to play
Borderlands, Torchlight, Fallout 3, Braid, Tales of Monkey Island, and Machinarium

Games I promise to beat come the holiday vacation
Machinarium and Fallout 3

Best Wii game
Super Mario Galaxy!

Best “what a waste of motion control” Wii Game
Punch-out!! Wii

Best fitness game
EA Sports Active

Best fighting game
Sorry, Street Fighter IV. I like you, but Tatsunoko vs Capcom takes the cake. People from America, get this when it comes out, coz you’re in for a treat!

Worst endgame boss
Again, apologies to Street Fighter IV, but Tekken 6’s Azazel was so much worse than Seth.

Game that made me puke
Final Fantasy Dissidia. What the hell kind of character designs are those?!

Game I have yet to play and I already hate it

Final Fantasy XIII.Though it’s become hip for people to make Bioware tropes their biggest gaming peeve, mine has always been the typical Square-Enix anime tropes. The melodramatic dialogue, the sappy J-pop, and the sulky characters aren’t helping things any. And oh my God, what kind of character design is that again? Someone please fire Tetsuya Nomura!

…I guess I’ll still play FFXIII though, if only to give my complaints more verisimilitude

Games announced that had me most excited

Shiren Wii and Megaman 10

Disappointing game that I still hasn’t gotten over with
Apollo Justice

Games they better release in America or else I’m gonna write a ten paged hate mail to whoever is holding them back
Persona 3 Portable and Fatal Frame Wii

Best story from an old game I only managed to play this year
Snatcher. And, if I may add, it’s now on my top 10.

Games that made me read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
See above

Games that are equivalent of Taylor Swift to me; inoffensive, but unmemorable
Borderlands and Torchlight

Best so bad it’s good game
That pickup basketball game from Wii Sports Resort! My brother and I can’t stop laughing at how ridiculous it is, and yet I keep playing it!

Game that is so bad it’s gone beyond goodness and went back to bad again
Scenario Campaign mode of Tekken 6.

Racing games I actually like
Need for Speed: Shift, Colin McRae Dirt 2

I can’t believe I beat that game
Borderlands

Game I beat that prove that I still “have it”
Megaman 9! I’m still rolling with the blue bomber!

Game that made me say “How on earth was I good at this game before”
Samurai Shodown IV played in Samurai Shodown Anthology.

My biggest time-sucks and big reasons I dont’ blog so often
Fallout 3, Rune Factory DS, Disgaea. Damn them!

Multiplayer game that is putting a strain on my friendship with my brother
New Super Mario Bros Wii. I mean how is this game supposed to be better played with other people again?

Favorite fan-made game
Streets of Rage Remake

Geek reference that has become overused it stopped being cool
Konami Code. The last straw was when people all over Facebook was putting this in their status updates
