5 Games to look forward too this year

Everyone else is posting up a Top 5 09 games list, so why shouldn’t I? It’s not easy only picking out five games to look forward too into the year, especially considering what else could be announced sooner or later in the year.

The games in this list are games that are confirmed for 2009. There are some games that look very good and would make the list, but those games are likely going to come out in 2010.

Here is CGN’s Top 5 Anticipated Games of 09

#5 – Resident Evil 5 (PS3, 360)

I know most of you will call me crazy for putting RE5 at the number 5 spot. But some people aren’t as interested in certain games as much as others. And that is the way I feel about RE5. I wasn’t a very big fan of the Resident Evil series until I played Resident Evil 4. And as fun as it was, I’m still not a huge fan of the series. I’m not saying I don’t like it. I enjoy the games, just not as much as others.

#4 – MadWorld (Wii)

It’s not often a company develops a game in which you get to dismember your foes in more then ten ways. And that is why I am exicted for MadWorld. It’s also being directed by Shigenori Nishikawa, the man who helped develop Resident Evil 4, and produced by Atsushi Inaba, the guy who created Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and God Hand.

#3 – BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams (360, PS3, PC)

I wasn’t going to put this on the list at first, but Take-Two CEO Ben Feder did say, “”We’re excited about our 2009 pipeline, which will include [many titles]…as well as new offerings from such powerful franchises as BioShock, Mafia and the 2K Sports roster.” I haven’t really seen this one on most gamings sites Games of 09 lists.

#2 – KillZone 2 (PS3)

Now, this game made number one on a lot of lists out there. But lemme tell most of you a very sad tale; I didn’t get the beta. I’ve been a member on PlayStation Underground since 2005, have my PSN accounted hooked up, searched forums and extra codes and did everything I could. But I didn’t get in. It’s a disappointing tale, but it just shows why my hype for KillZone 2 is not as high as everyone elses. But trust me, I still have a lot of hype for it.

#1 – The Conduit (Wii)

Before you all start shouting “fanboy!” I just want to ask you multi console owners, what exclusive have you been playing for your PS3? Resistance 2? Same here. What about the 360? Gears of War 2? I’m on it as well. But what about the Wii? The Conduit, plus some other exclusive titles, will be the reason I get to dust off my Wii for a second time. The Conduit really proves that “The little game console that could” really isn’t as weak as most think. It is a very impressive looking game, with tons of great tech features, along with 16 player online, voice chat support, and more. The Conduit really seems to be a break out third party title for Wii, and that is why The Conduit is CGN’s number one.
