A whole year of gaming in just over an hour? Is it possible? Can your ears handle such rapid fire game love (hey! what!?) without bursting straight out of your skull!? I hope so because you’d probably stop listening to our show… ya know, if you only had bleeding holes where your ears used to be. … Anyways! It’s a great show this week as we recap the best, most surprising, and play-worthy games of 2009 (including some older games we only played in ’09) along with a few real disappointments. Bonus points to Katy for throwing in a last minute query on what games of ’09 we didn’t get to play and desperately want to!

I won’t spoil the entire list up front, suffice to say there’s fresh talk about Assassin’s Creed 2, Uncharted 2 and Dragon Age: Origins in there as well. Start up the show right here (look up!), hop over to our Talkshoe page to subscribe, or peek past the cut to see what all we loved this year! But don’t forget about us until 2010, we’ll have more episodes in the coming weeks as well as a hopeful, misty-eyed show where we dream lovingly about the games of the coming year. I meant to make a clever segue but I forgetted… Ā E-MAIL US at podcast [at] gameluv [dawt] com ! We like to hear from you!

Katy’s first to bat this week with love (and one surprising shot of disdain) for:

  • Fable 2
  • Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires
  • Dragon Age: Origins
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Then it’s Chad with his adoration of (and not-too-surprising disappointment for):

  • Batman: Arkham Asylum
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  • Battlefield 1943
  • Street Fighter IV
  • Torchlight
  • NBA Unrivaled

Maxx follows it up with a laundry list of practically every game that came out in ’09 (most of which were great, except for two):

  • Flower
  • Trine
  • Killzone 2
  • Uncharted 2
  • Dragon Age: Origins
  • Tales of Monkey Island
  • King’s Bounty
  • Torchlight
  • Plants vs. Zombies
  • Trials HD
  • Battlefield 1943
  • Magic: The Gathering
  • Dishwasher: Dead Samurai
  • Shadow Complex
  • Assassin’s Creed 2
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  • Forza 3
  • Dirt 2
  • Need for Speed: Shift
  • Red Faction: Guerilla

And I wrap things up by mentioning two games on my list no one ever thought would make it on a year-end list (plus two stinkers):

  • Assassin’s Creed 2
  • Uncharted 2
  • Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
  • Shadow Complex
  • Afrika
  • Brutal Legend
  • Trash Panic
