  2009: The Games I Bought

  Well, the year is almost up. I thought it would be a good idea to list the games I bought this year, so I will.

  Games I bought this year:

  -Sins of a Solar Empire
  Playing Sins I had a very good time, but I didn't really feel like getting back into it after I stopped playing.

  -Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
  I LOVE this game. I've played a good 154is hours since March all of which were fun and entertaining.

  -Fallout
  I have no idea what to do, I just go out of the vault and die.

  -Fallout 2
  I haven't gotten to it for the reason above.

  -Starwars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
  Me and my brother loved Jedi Outcast on the Gamecube so we decided to buy this game. It didn't turn out well.

  -The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth II: Rise of the Witch King
  I only just bought this game, but me and my brother have spend countless hours LANing vanilla BfME2 and we're having a great time with this one as well.

  -Bioshock
  I had a blast with this game. It was really fun but really short as well. I think I beat it in less than a week, and the ending was really disappointing considering the ratio of rescues to harvests I made.

  -The Sims 3
  I had fun while I played it, but I lost the CD so I haven't really played enough of it to judge.

  -Halflife
  I loved this game. It was really slow to start but as it progressed it proved to me why this game is praised so much.

  -Left 4 Dead
  It's a really fun game but it's been getting fairly repetitive, and I've only had it since Black Friday.

  There's probably one I forgot but oh well.

  Other Games:

  These games are games that I've either wanted but never got, games I planned on getting, or games that simply don't fit in a category.

  -Blood Bowl
  I really wanted to get this game when it came out this summer, but the US/Steam release took so long to come that I simply lost interest when it finally did.

  -Team Fortress 2
  I've owned this game within a month or two of its release, but my brother installed the Orange Box on his steam account so I never had the chance to play it. Now I plan on buying it because it's $5 off.

  -Battlefield Heroes
  This game was a huge disappointment. I was anticipating it for months, delay after delay. When the beta came out it was slow paced and mildly entertaining. When the game was fully released it changed from a "Spend your money to look cooler than people" to "Spend your money to look any decent, have a good gun, use abilities all while buying them back after the month runs out, lest you pay 600% to get it forever" type of game.

  -Ruse Beta
  It was fun and fairly challenging, but it was a bit slow at times and had no AI or match making, requiring the need for Steam friends to have a beta key as well.

  -Left 4 Dead 2 Demo
  It was fun, but short as it was only half a level.

  -Borderlands
  It seems fun but I' m waiting on friends to tell me if it's worth it or not.

  That's all I can really think of, maybe I'll add on this if I can think of more.

  And my Game of the year is:

  
  

  Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

  To anybody that knows me this is an obvious GotY from me. I am a huge fan of 40k, DoW and Relic as well as the games itself being incredibly fun, from the games I bought this year, and I guess the games of 09 that I've played, this game wins Game of the Year from me.
