The Daily Telegraph newspaper recently published its idea of what the top 10 video games of 2009 were, and you can read a summary of their list here:
1. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
2. Street Fighter IV
3. Batman: Arkham Asylum
4. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
5. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
6. Wii Sports Resort
7. Assassin's Creed II
8. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
9. Left 4 Dead 2
10. DJ Hero
TIME Magazine also recently published their version of the list (which you can check out in full detail via my other blog here), and it is quite different because it includes only 5 out of the 10 games in the Telegraph's list, and places the Telegraph's number 1 game at number 10:
1. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
2. Batman: Arkham Asylum
3. DJ Hero
4. Borderlands
5. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
6. Geo-Defense Swarm
7. Scribblenauts
8. Halo 3: ODST
9. Assassin's Creed 2
10. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
To my way of thinking when comparing these two lists, "Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" must really be the best game of 2009 because it is number 1 in TIME's list and number 4 in the Telegraph's list, with the runner-up being "Batman: Arkham Asylum" because it is number 2 in TIME's list and number 3 in the Telegraph's list. What do you think? :-)
