I hate to break the tradition that we've had here for a number of years, so I wanted to throw this up here.

To get away from the bickering that we've had before, games that can be voted on here are the highest rated games for 2009 mostly according to Metacritic. I've included the top three games from each console, and have went further down the list if there was a multiconsole game included. I also excluded re-releases such as the Metroid Prime Trilogy, limited the handheld options to two a piece, and added three PC other games rated highly on Metacritic as well.

I did fudge a few options as well, as some of the options would clearly be busts here based on the conversations we've had over the past year. The new UBB software lets you add in new poll options after the fact, so I can do that if there's an outcry for anything I've missed.

One other note, one week from today on the 18th I'll be using the numbers collected to that point to award the best game and runners up in a news post on the front page of Nightly.

Don't worry about the platform listed. If you liked the game on another platform, by all means vote for it if it is your favorite.

I voted for Uncharted 2. It is easily the best looking game of this generation and a much better game than the first. I loved MW2, but the single-player campaign was one mess of a story.

I voted Batman because it undid all the years of woeful and unplayable trash that us gamers have endured.

The production values were high, the voice work was great, the world was well realised, it had good replayability, it was the first game in a long time that I've been motivated to complete 100%.

All of this was achieved without retreading or undoing the good work in Batman Begins and the The Dark Knight.

I voted for New Super Mario Wii. Not because I really felt that it was the best game of the year, it was the one that I had the most fun with.

My vote is biased by the fact that the Wii is the only platform that I own, but the new Super Mario Bros. is a really exceptional title in my opinion.

How do you kill a PS3?

Did your HDD die?

I bought Modern Warfare twice, because I'd bought the 360 after the PS3. LIVE was so much better than PSN at the time, and still is.

I voted Arkham Asylum, but I was surprised by ODST not being among the choices. That was a pretty huge deal this year.

Its hard for me to vote because 2009 produced a lot of top quality games. I had to go with batman because it in the end was the game I enjoyed the most. That, along with Ghostbusters, Dragon Age, Little Big Planet, and Uncharted 2, I was pleasantly entertained.

I added ODST to the list since there were a few mentions of it. The new board software allows you to delete your existing vote and vote again for another option if you'd like.

I voted for Dragon Age, but I would have voted for AC2 if it was a choice. How come that was left off?

Yep, me too. Just got a new PS3 2 weeks ago. Took 2 days to download my games & add-ons again (and I didn't even download them all again). Couldn't get my saves either.

I wonder if the new PS3s have another manufacturer providing the HDD?

My 60gig PS3s have a Seagate HDD and I replaced one 60gig with a 250gig Seagate. The new drive has a 5 year limited warranty.

I'm leaving this up for a day or so more until I post the winner. Right now, it's a three way tie between Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age, and Uncharted 2. If anyone feels strongly about any of those three, speak now or forever hold your peace.

I would have voted for CoD, but it's far too short. I beat the game in about 5-6 hours & it'll be a while until I play it again.

Yeah, but that one scene where you rush the capital through the trenches for the first time... with the music..... that won GOTY right there.
