A year of speeding thrills, untamed gore, strategic planning and limitless endurance comes to an end. With it, starts an unfair analysis of the 09’ games – unfair because no judging can ever seek full compliance. HT City, however, takes a dig at this uncharted territory and brings you the top-three games of this year.
Number One: Uncharted 2: Age of Thieves
Rating - Teen
Debates aside, this game blew the action/adventure genre and came out unscathed. An intimate focus on precise detailing added to a thundering storyline. It infact, took it even beyond the stature of its predecessor. Bolting from messy jungles to perilous caves and defunct cities, the main character – Drake – also emerged as the best character, period.
Notable mention: Fifa 10, Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Need for Speed: Shift
Number Two: Batman Arkham Asylum
Rating - Teen
Even the staunchest of critics that ridicule Marvel comics couldn’t really come up with anything against this game. Fast combat entombed in a visual spectacle made this game, dangerously addictive.
Number Three: Forza Motorsport 3
Rating - Everyone
Racing junkies had their prayers answered in 09. Forza 3’s blessings came as a virtual respite as the game, boasting of unparalled graphics, array of stunning cars and a customized handling, took four-whelled sensation by storm.
