2009 FPS Game of the Year Award

2 awards down and many to go.  This is probably the most controversial category other than the actual Game of the Year award.  There were plenty of BIG name FPS throughout the year if you think about it, but these are the best of the best, and there can only be one winner.

And the nominees for 2009 FPS Game of the Year Award are.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Halo 3: ODST

Killzone 2

Left 4 Dead 2

Metroid Prime Trilogy

And the Winner for 2009 FPS Game of the Year Award is

**********Killzone 2, Metroid Prime Trilogy, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2**********

Runner-up

Halo 3: ODST

ABizzel16048d ago

OK so I tricked you. Unlike other sites, if there is more than one game deserving of winning the award then there will be 2 or more winners.

Killzone- Had an amazing single player campaign no matter what naysayers have to say. It was one of the best single player experience I had this year. It felt like war, and you were doing you part to bring down the enemy. The thing that made the single player stand out was the hate between both sides. Men and Women were killed, Rico spitting on Radec's dead body just shows how much these two sides hate one another, which is what put it over the top for me. Throw in a very good online multiplayer that supports 32 people, and it's a no brainer that Killzone 2 deserves a spot.

Metroid Prime Trilogy- A 40+ hour of single player campaign need I say more. Metroid Prime is the Nintendo Wii's Orange Box. The only real downside to Metroid Prime Trilogy is that if you own the first 3 games then there's no real need to buy this one. However, if you don't then prepare for days of gaming goodness (which could be a downside as well since you'll be playing with the Wiimote for hours.)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2- Is this game over hyped. Yes. But that doesn't mean it isn't good. Call of Duty provides a short, but action packed single player campaign designed to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Once you're done with the single player which should take no more than 1 day, you can go on to enjoy one of the best online multiplayer games EVER. You don't have to worry about finding matches, because games are ALWAYS running, just hop on and play. Not to mention the co-op.

As you can tell I'm leaning more towards the Killzone 2 side, but all 3 games are amazing, and are the best FPS for their consoles (PS3 owners get the bonus of having both Killzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2).

I would have to go with Killzone 2, followed by Modern Warfare 2.

ABizzel16044d ago

I wasn't the one who disagreed with you, I hate when people don't leaves a response.

But I preferred Killzone 2 more, but that doesn't mean it was more deserving than Modern Warfare 2, or Metroid. All 3 were different games, and all three were the best shooters on their consoles so far.

RockmanII76044d ago

Look at my gamer picture. That being said, I say Killzone 2. ODST and MW2 had too short campaigns, Metroid was re-released, and L4D2 isn't that different from 1.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing36d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit36d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing36d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9236d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
