I've never done this before and just came up with the idea. So I'll be showing the top 10 and top 5 games of the first 6 months of '09 as well as the topmovie of the first half of '09. Mind you, I only play 360, PS3, and Wii games. Handheld and PC games are not included in this due to the fact I don't play those. So, here we go:

Top 5 games from the first half of '09:

Resident Evil 5

Killzone 2

Prototype

Wolverine

inFAMOUS

The remaining 5 equaling to the top 10 consist of: 6. Street Fighter IV, 7. Red Faction: Guerrilla, 8. Ghostbusters, 9. Ninja Blade, 10. Halo Wars.

Best 360 exclusive game:

Ninja Blade

Wednesday, I had picked up my copy of The Conduit and had gotten my copy of Ghostbusters in the mail. So, after now having to put Red Faction, Prototype and Kung Fu Panda on the back burner, I got my hands on both of these games. First off:

The Conduit

Is a breakthrough game for the Wii. In terms of technology, this is the best looking game on the Wii since I've laid eyes on Super Mario Galaxy. This game is a true testament to what the Wii can produce and looks real good even at 480p. Honestly, this game looks better than some 360 games. The game also controls extremely well and basically slaps Red Steel in the face andshows it how it's done. Its not fidgity, its not frustrating, its exactly as it should be. Online play also plays extremely well and is surprisingly deep. This is the best online play for the Wii you will ever play right next to Smash Bros and Mario Kart. If you own a Wii, do yourself a favor and buy this game.

Ghostbusters

So yeah I found this on eBay for $40, most of you already know and have heard how this game is but let me just reassure you....this game is great. Just like RE5, I had no intentions of ever even buying this game, but after word of mouth got out, Igot the urge to buy this like RE5. To my surprise,I like this game a lot and have to give real props and thanks for Atari on picking this one up from Activision. The graphics look great, the story is Ghostbusters quality, and the gameplay is perfect for this type of game. Another game to pick up for all of you who do not own this. I heard it is short though but whatever, I'll play it again. Forget what the reviews say on this game.

Afro Samurai

Ahhh....good ol' Target. I found Afro Samurai on clearance for a sweet $14 and it even came with the slick sleeve that goes over the box. I wanted this game when it came out and thank God did I wait.

Also, on eBay I sold my copy of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (which I never finished and hardly played) for a good $44 ! So, I used that money to pick this up for $46 even.

Red Faction

I heard so much good things about this game I couldn't resist. I originally planned to possibly never pick this up because I had very low expectations for it. But, after seeing all the hype and all the ridiculously good feedback, I had to give in.

And as you may already know, I picked up:

Prototype

On day one and have got to say that this game is amazing. You know, the dual between this and inFamous is a good one and they both are amazing games that stand on their own. However, I may possibly prefer Protoype more just because you can literally do more and you also have alot more power and control in the game.

That's all for now, I'll see you all soon.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like EXxile.
EXxile must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could EXxile possibly have for not rating a single film?
