They managed to miss out Pokemon Platinum, Pro Evolution Soccer 2010, Smackdown Vs Raw 2010, SAW and Wanted: Weapons Of Fate? Yet they put in crap like Halo, Forza and Call Of Duty? For shame……

Beatles: Rock Band… not very original game…

Wow, this is actually a damn good list. As for underrated games on this list,you all must check out:
A boy and his Blob
Flower
Demon Souls
Plants Vs Zombies
All of these games are good, and have been somewhat under the radar, make SURE you guys pick them up. These games deserve a sequel.

Agreed. Uncharted 2 rules them all. Best game I’ve ever played.

The omissions of SMT: Devil Survivor, SH: Shattered Memories and Torchlight DEEPLY sadden me…

Red Faction: Guerrilla should be on there its an alright game, but nothing special

Wow, I actually forgot how busy 2009 was in terms of new releases. Of course, the term “new releases” is an ironic one since the bulk are either strong licenses or sequels. That said, its refreshing to see innovative titles like Plants vs Zombies in there. Woot!

Game Informers top 50 list is pretty much a list of games Gamestop is sure to have for ya in stock if you get bored of what you are playing. Printed game reviews have been dead for a while.

Red Faction Guerilla is like GTA4 but with destructible environments and just all-out badassery. There’s no fluff in this game… just pure destruction and action . That list is no joke.

this is a 2009 list not 2010. Next time actually read the title
