2009 is almost over; which game DELIVERED on it's promises? (IYO)

Personally, I feel like Halo Wars did everything they said they were going to do. It fleshed out the world, made an RTS that worked very well on consoles, and looked and played great. The co-op alone was a blast. SpruceCaboose

This, AC2, Borderlands, and Dragon Age.

I had extremely high expectations for Uncharted 2 based on the quality of the first game and the fact that it's Naughty Dog, and they still blew me away with both the campaign and the online multiplayer!

As for inFamous, it's an awesome sandbox-action/adventure game with an amazing story and fun gameplay.
This was a pleasant surprise from Sucker Punch.

AC2, Dragon Age, Borderland, L4D2, Infamous, Uncharted 2, Forza 3, Rachet/Clank. This is a great gaming year :Psalxis

No game lived up to the hype more than AC2. Dragon Age alsomore than surpassed my hype, because I was expecting it to fail, but it ended up being my GotY. As for Uncharted 2, it delievered, but I was a little dissapointed because a lot of the great moments had already been spoiled for me by the internet.

Infamous

Killzone 2

Shadow Complex

Wipe out HD

Batman:AA

Borderlands

Halo ODST

Forza 3

Uncharted 2

Dragon Age

Assassins Creed 2 (think this delivered on it promise the most this year and shut all the AC haters up)

MW2 (Hated in these pages but LOVED in the real world)

Beatles:Rock Band (Me and my girlfriend have had so many great evening on this, our neighbours must hate us)

Great time to be a multiplatform owning gamer

I'd actually call Dragon Age one of the most disappointing games of the year, but to each their own. I was surprised that Tales of Monkey Island not only lived up to the previous games in the series, but in some ways surpassed them. It more than delivered on its promises as a true sequel to the legendary franchise.Planeforger

Yeah, there will be a complete 5-part release in a few months (maybe in stores), if you don't feel like buying the season online.

I should probably also mention that it's somewhere between the second and third games in style and tone, and the game gradually gets much darker as you get to the later chapters.

Batman AA caught me by surprise. I didn't believe they'd deliver the game they would even though they hyped it as much. But man what a great game. Uncharted 2 also delivered well.

Assassins Creed 2 did, it made up for all the predecessors faults and made it overall a much better game.

Dragon Age Origins was just simply amazing, and an rpg every bioware fan MUST play

Halo ODST is also mentionworthy, i expected fun over the top action and great multiplayer, and that is exactly what i got :D

Dragon age FAR surpassed what i thought it'd be.

I was sleeping on the game until about 2 weeks before release, after looking at some CGI videos on gametrailers, i decided i'd give it a go, and i was NOT dissapointed. It's now my GOTY :)

AC2, Dragon Age, Batman:AA, Killzone 2 and uncharted 2. Every single one delivered.

Dragon Age, Arkham Asylum, Stoked: Big Air Edition, Shadow Complex, Uncharted 2, ODST, Forza 3, AC2, Borderlands,Torchlight, Risen, inFAMOUS, RFG, BoGT, and Blazblue.

In my opinion Uncharted 2: Among Thieves delivers what it promised for me, not only being great but surpassing it prequel while doing so. The pacing for this game was much better than the first one along with great gameplay. Great multiplayer along with great coop, and I love the exploration for this game the most.

Uncharted 2 and inFamous come to mind.

I had extremely high expectations for Uncharted 2 based on the quality of the first game and the fact that it's Naughty Dog, and they still blew me away with both the campaign and the online multiplayer!

As for inFamous, it's an awesome sandbox-action/adventure game with an amazing story and fun gameplay.

Wish I could say the say about Infamous. I'm half way through the second town Warren, and the game is getting very repetitive. Sure the powers are fun but once you clean up a city the bad guys still return even though it says they won't, all the side missions are the same and the bad guys are too. I'm going to finish it, but I don't see it as AAA yet.

My games of the year are MW2, AC2, GH5, Beatles Rockband, Uncharted 2, FEAR 2.

Infamous for me, It went from just another game to the best game i play all gen

There will always be bad guys, but they are much less prevalent in clean parts of the city. They run rampant in areas they control, but are essentially a non-factor as far as difficulty is concerned in clean areas.

Thankfully, powers continue to be unlocked at a steady pace throughout the game, and the side-missions also offer some variety to alieviate some feeling of repetition. You could also vary your approach to a certain mission to produce more variety on your own. I guess I have a much higher tolerance for repetition than most, because I didn't start to feel bored until near the end of my second playthrough.

Also, the story should pick up soon and that's another thing that will keep you hooked on the game. It's awesome and the ending is epic!

For me, it's BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM (because I'm such a batman whore): which is entirely not a bad thing)

And thank god this game didn't flop, instead it got AAA status!! (although I felt this game is a bit overrated)

Sure I know Uncharted 2 and Infamous are better game, but c'mon man this is comic book game!!
