    Dead Space: Extraction
    Extraction is still pretty fun, and with the improved controls it's the best version.

    PixelJunk Shooter
    PixelJunk Shooter isn't my favorite entry from Q-Games (Eden holds that distinction), but it is one of my favorite games of 2009 - arcade or otherwise.

    Devil May Cry 4
    This filler-feeling content would be a real kill joy in a lesser game, but DMC4's combat is so fast, so visceral, that it's just a joy to play. And those who really want to tweak the experience will have endless fun tinkering with the upgrades and enhanced abilities. On the other hand, if you're a casual hack-'n-slasher, DMC4 has a great auto-upgrade system that'll do all the work for you.

    Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
    This game has taken the best aspects of two winning genres and created an experience that is both original and rewarding. Both puzzle hounds and dungeon crawlers alike will find this game to be just what the doctor ordered.

    Burnout Paradise
    Controls are perfectly forgiving. I love the arcade feel of the title that is extremely well recreated through either of the 360 or PS3 controllers.

    Silent Hill HD Collection
    If you've been patiently waiting for the ultimate version of Silent Hill 2 and/or 3, this is it. What it lacks in extras, it more than makes up for in some of the best visual upgrades I've seen in a re-release and some truly fantastic new voice work.

    Universe at War: Earth Assault
    The campaign mode is great, but it is the online modes that really make this a must-own title for RTS fans.

    SoulCalibur IV
    A great addition to the franchise. There's a good amount of play modes, excellent character customization options, a strong character roster, smooth (though intricate) controls, and exciting online play.

    Worms: Open Warfare 2
    This is truly the Worms game that many fans have been waiting years for. It is easily as good as the earlier Worms titles and since it is portable, it can quench your Worms addiction no matter where you may be.

    Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening
    Though there's not nearly as much content as the first go-round, there's still an awful lot to love.

    Battlefield: Bad Company
    Controls and presentation in Bad Company are phenomenal. It is incredibly easy to switch between weapons and items.

    Tomb Raider: Anniversary
    It's nice to relive the past, but it's a lot nicer when you discover that things are even better than you thought they were.

    FIFA Soccer 09
    If you haven’t played FIFA in a while, now’s the time to jump back in; this is a great game of soccer. But, if you’re an old hat to the series, the most compelling reason to purchase FIFA 09 may only be the roster update.

    Disney Epic Mickey
    The story is top-notch, and while the gameplay mechanics are simplistic on the surface, there is a surprising level of depth to the game.

    Tomodachi Life
    Overall, I think anyone who takes a chance on this unorthodox property will have a positive experience, and hope Nintendo will build upon this franchise.

    The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II
    Much like Bioware's "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Middle-earth II" has been created from the ground up with the Tolkien fan in mind. Those who appreciate this incredible body of fiction will love being able to wage epic battles with the touch of a few buttons.

    WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009
    This feels nothing like a dulled-down next-gen title, and wrestling fans will love the variety of wrestlers, match types, moves, and creative features to toy around with. SvR 2009 is one of the best titles released on the PSP or PS2 in months.

    Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure
    Getting up will take a few days to complete but once your job is done it's time to move on. While I highly recommend playing this game, I also highly recommend renting it as you're not likely to want to paint over old territory.

    Guitar Hero World Tour
    People who love music video games won't get tired of this one. Not only does it include standard modes of play, but there's also co-op, face-off, battles, several online modes, and a very compelling music studio that allows you to create and share songs with the world.

    Bit.Trip Void
    As a step in the series' continued evolution, Void is both surprising and well done. It doesn't quite top my favorite in the series, Core, which has catchier music that remains a larger part of its design, but it comes close (Void does have music from Nullsleep, a very good chiptunes artist, however).

    UFC Undisputed 2010
    If you liked last year's UFC title, then you will definitely love this year's.

    Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
    An easy game to get into and a hard game to put down. It’s one thing after another that will keep you entertained for hours on end.

    WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009
    With over 70 match types, 50 wrestlers, and multiple storylines to play in Road to Wrestlemania, SvR 2009 is one of the hottest WWE titles in recent history.

    Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit
    From the amazing graphics to the incredibly deep combat system, everything about Burst Limit feels new, and I can't wait to see where this franchise is headed next.

    DC Universe Online
    If you're a fan of action, MMOs, or comic books, and if you're looking to commit a lot of time to a single game, DC Universe Online will not disappoint you.

    Torchlight
    Runic hasn't dumbed down the experience, they've removed the fluff and distilled it down to the truly fun parts. Add in a few innovations and what you've got is Torchlight; a game that raises the expectations for dungeon-crawling action RPGs by being not just fine-tuned but affordable as well.

    Rayman Origins
    The lack of multiplayer aside, there's still enough levels crammed in to keep you going for several hours, and many more if you're looking to collect everything.

    The Walking Dead: Season Two Episode 1 - All That Remains
    Despite its flaws, The Walking Dead: season 2: Episode 1 is still an outstanding game. It still makes you feel for its characters in ways no other game on the market does. It’s still one of the best examples of games as art our industry has to offer.

    Age of Empires II: HD Edition
    Do you want a modern RTS with an absurd amount of polish and visuals that make you feel justified in purchasing that high-end gaming rig? Well, you’ll want to look elsewhere. In fact, I hear StarCraft II’s new expansion is pretty great. But if you want to relive the glory days of when the RTS was first coming into its own as a genre (with a glorious palette of pixel art), then you can’t do much better than Age of Empires II: HD Edition.
