2009 games have been a long awaited level of game play and enjoyment...just sucks that soo many good ones came out at once...i need to pay rent not for games...i hate life
I think Modern Warfare 2, but Assassin's Creed 2 is my runner up.
Modern Warfare 2 is far better than any of its predecessors (even Cod 4) with story, action, excitement, newer weapons, and an offline mutiplayer experience that is unforgettable.
Assassin's Creed 2 kicks the crap out of its predecessor with a splendid wealth of story, weapons, characters, and locations.
Both are huge steps up in their separate franchises and raise the bar for video game expectations.
