My top five most played games of 2009
I'm bored, and haven't blogged in about three months, and really have nothing to blog about. I've been a lot more active on Neoseeker lately though, my schedule has eased up a lot. Yay. Nonetheless, 2009 is more then halfway over, and I've played a lot of games so far this year. Since I've got nothing better to do, I've decided to make a blog about the five most played games that I've play so far this year:
5. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
I love this game. I think I like it better than the original Final Fantasy VII. Character's seem to be a bit more likable, in my opinion. Also, Zack Fair is a MUCH better hero than Cloud Strife. Easily. I played this game non-stop for about a month. It took me about a week to beat it, but then I played it non-stop again after, focusing more on sidequests. I completed every single sidequest the second time around. I think I would actually play the game for about 5-6 hours in a day. After I got done, I'd plug my PSP in and let it charge overnight while I was sleeping. It was just that addicting. I sold my PSP, having never played it. I played all the good games I wanted too, and was able to use the money for what I wanted.
4. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Meh, I don't really know if this deserves to be on the list or not. It was a toss-up between this and Fallout 3. I just started up on Fallout 3 again about a month ago, catching up on DLC that I have missed, but haven't been playing it too much lately. Paper Mario, though, I've been playing a lot more. It's a fantastic game, the best in the series, and one of my favorite Gamecube games. I love it.
3. Left 4 Dead
I usually play one game of Left 4 Dead every night with my friends. It's really the only game that I play consistently. I may only play one game a night, which usually ends up taking an hour to an hour and a half depending on who we play against, but as I said, I play it regularly. Every night since I got the game. I haven't played it as much since getting all the achievements, but it's really the only game I play daily.
2. Rock Band 2
I play this a lot. More then Left 4 Dead, since I usually play for at least 2-3 hours at a time, several times per day. Mostly drums, but switching between vocals and guitar every now and again. With weekly DLC, this game never gets old. Harmonix got it right: don't release a ton of games each year. Release a lot of DLC to keep the one game fresh.
1. Left 4 Dead 2/Brutal Legend/Modern Warfare 2
I'm going to go ahead and predict it now, that one of these games will be my most played games of 2009. I don't know which one yet. They all release relatively close to each other. Brutal Legend in Rocktober, MW2 one week in November, then L4D2 the week following MW2. I already have two games reserved at Gamestop and one pre-ordered online, it's now just a matter of which game I'll be addicted to the most.
