Does killzone 2 deserve #1?

[Madusha]

does uncharted 2 deserve higher pos. ?

[Megaton]

It's your list, your opinion.

Personally I would have picked Uncharted 2 over every other game this year. Too bad my PS3 broke over the weekend and I had to cancel my pre-order.

Yea I would've put Uncharted 2 over everything on that list as well. I've also always thought Call of Duty games were vastly overrated so that one wouldn't even make it on my list. Of course, I only own a PS3 and I don't care about any games I can't play on it, so ODST and Forza wouldn't be on my list either. In fact, the only game from there that would make my list would be UC2. Killzone 2 just seems out of place there, cause this seems much more like a "upcoming games to buy" list, since all the titles are not released yet (except ODST which was just released?). I think my list would be more like (taking into account I have no use for anything I can't play on PS3, so all those other platforms' games are out)...
1. Uncharted 2 (by far, if only one game to buy this year it's this one).
2. Demon's Souls
3. Operation Flashpoint
4. I would put Alpha Protocol here but it's looking like that might be delayed, so if it is then I'd move Dragon Age up to this spot.
5. Then (since Alpha Protocol is being bumped off), I'd move either Crack in Time, Borderlands or Assassin's Creed II up to the 5 slot depending on ones preference.

That series is highly underrated. Fantastic games.

[cRaZyLeGs 93]

Killzone 2? WTF? Left 4 Dead 2!

[SupaPlaya]

may be top 5 for each console is better. I think Demon's soul deserves a spot too. Support old school difficulty!

[badz149]

what is this? DS?? or maybe Wii?? let see...KZ2, inFAMOUS, Fat Princess, Demon Souls, Uncharted 2, R&C ACIT....come on! that's just for the PS3! what about multiplats? is this list for budget gamer only?

[ape007]

modern warfare 2 mumber 1 no doubt

uncharted 2 second close

forza 3 in third place

I already have kz2 and odst

[Panthers]

I wouldnt even put MW2 on the list. Especially after seeing the new Battlefield BC 2 footage. COD is just too nooby for me now.

[ape007]

sorry double post

[RadientFlux]

My List would be completely different.

1. Dragon Age
2. Brutal Legend
3. Uncharted 2
4. Risen
5. Borderlands

[JonnyBigBoss]

I don't agree with the list, but to each his own.

[BonhamZ0S0]

How is ODST number 2?

[Panthers]

UC2 should prolly be number 1, but KZ2 is amazing. Still, a list with only 5 games is tough.

[doctorspakles]

All quality games.

MW2 is #1 and probably the only one on the list I will buy. Just finished Killzone, beautiful game but honestly found myself just wishing it was over by the end. Boring enemies, all felt the same. Not a lot of variety in the visuals. As said though, it was beautiful. I didn't stick around for the multiplayer because honestly I did not like the controls at all.

And to answer the question above: ODST is on the list at number 2 because not everyone is a Sony fanboy, and some people can actually like a game that comes out on Microsoft's console. Over 2 million have bought it already, what more can you want for a game to be included as #2 on a must buy list.

Uncharted 2 is a maybe. But I am not made of money so...I will likely rent it for the single player and get my multiplayer from what I consider to be the pinnacle of multiplayer: MW.

[swiftshot93]

having U2 or MW2 at #1 would make this my list.

[Relientk77]

Uncharted 2, thats ur #1

[bjornbear]

EHm....i would have put maybe operation flashpoint, demon souls, batman arkham asylum...dead space, u name it

[militant07]

-Resident Evil 5
-HALO 3:ODST
-UNCHARTED 2
-LEFT 4 DEAD 2
-ASSASSINS CREED 2
-SFIV

those game i bought/ going to buy in 2009(not orderd), i bought other games but they were released before 2009.

[kaveti6616]

Killzone 2 relies a lot on multiplayer. I've been thinking about getting it but I want the online to always be full, and from the way 360 fanboys have been talking, there's not many people playing it. But I wouldn't count on their statements.

[presto717]

The are thousands of people who play KZ2 multiplayer daily. I have never had trouble finding a game, and this is coming from a Brigade General

[Noah]

I would've put Need for speed shift instead of Fartza.

[Saaking]

1. Uncharted 2
2. Ratchet and Clak AciT
3. Killzone 2
4. Demon's Soul
5.Infamous
6. Borderlands
7. Assassin's Creed 2
8. MW2

All playable on PS3, especially GOTY AAAA PS3 exclusive UC2. PS3, it only does everything.

[AliTheBrit]

The only game I think really deserves buying so far, is Batman: AA

Although I do own Killzone 2 and RE5 also

[LittleBigSackBoy]

RE5 was a waste of money imo. gonna trade it in to get U2!

[teh-panda]

Halo 3: ODST over Uncharted 2? IS THE MAN TRYING TO DIVIDE BY 0?

[The_Devil_Hunter]

I hate to say this but I hated everything about Killzone 2...ugh..how I hate myself.

[doctorspakles]

Well the graphics were great, even though some textures were just ugly as sin. The gameplay though? Ugh you can keep it.

[neonlight45]

i was surprised to see killzone at top spot

[kraze07]

All those games are worth buying, but I wouldn't put them in any particlular order. Everyone has their preferences.

[DigitalAnalog]

Correction, it's worth TWICE our money.
