Happy new year!
We are here. The last day of 2009. Too think its already been nine years since we celebrated the new millennium. It feels weird. Time sure passed by quick.
Here is my list of what I’ve played and watched in 2009, both things I’ve loved and other games that has made me so disappointed with them that I never want to touch them again. I also started to use WordPress this year, having first moved from Livejournal, where I had been for about 3 years.
Then I moved to Blogger, which I ditched pretty fast for WordPress. Well enough chatting here is my list and happy new year to you all, see you 2010!!
BEST OF 2009
Games
I think I’ll have to say Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Batman Arkham Asylum. I really can’t pick between the two of them. I enjoyed them both very much.
Movies
Transformers Revenge of The Fallen, despite its flaws it was the movie I was looking forward most to this year. It was perhaps not the sequel I had hoped for, but still one of the most enjoyable movies I’ve watched this year.
Anime
I haven’t watched an anime I really fell for this year. I thought it was a bit thin.
But then again I haven’t had a chance to watch everything this year either.
Cartoons
I’ve watched a bunch of cartoons this year. I usually watch a lot of anime, but cartoons have won this year. With Transformers Animated, The Batman,
Avatar The Last Air bender, Batman The Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited and more. They where all awesome shows and no anime this year has been better than any of those shows.
TV-shows
This year I’ve watched the entire season 1-4 of How I Met Your Mother. And came to like the series very much. Barney is my favorite character in the show and I’m currently watching season 5. Best show this year!
Other
One of the best things this years is without a doubt, when I finally got to meet my dear friend Kntheking. Best experience of all time and one of my dearest memories.

WORST OF 2009
Games
My biggest disappointment this year was without a doubt Cross Edge. Another game I wisgh I hadn’t touched is Eat Lead: Return of Matt Hazard. I liked the humor, the rest of the game qas one big mess.
Movies
Good for me, since I can’t remember all the crappy movies I’ve watched this year.
Anime
I’ll have to say that Kämpfer, is the worst anime series that I’ve seen this year. Bouncy boobs, bad story. I don’t even know what more I could to say about it…
I think one of the reasons I’m so disappointed with this is that the series just ended without anything being solved in the series. I hate when that happens!
Cartoons
Loonatics Unleashed, it wasn’t that bad. But worse than the rest of the cartoons I watched this year. I guess its because I’m not a very big Loony Toons fan. And that all the characters was just copies of the old Loony Toons characters, it felt cheap…
TV-shows
Heroes! What the hell has happened? Season was was great IMO. The 2nd season was okay, the 3rd season started to go down the shitter and the 4th season is following along that line. Just let it die already.
Other
Its been one hell of a poor year. I honestly hope I’ll have some money 2010, or I’m going to get really depressed.

4 games I’m looking forward to in 2010
So since I’m working on my list of best and worst things of 2009, I thought I could make a post about what I’m looking forward to in the upcoming year. So here is my game list, I decided to just stick with four games that I’m most interested in now. Since they are game I’m 100% I’m getting. I will probably do a list like this with movies also, not to sure yet. What games are you looking forward to in 2010?
3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3)
its a Zelda type of game or ripoff like some would say. I can understand that, since its heavily inspired by the old Zelda games. It’s because of that and the great music from the game that has made me so interested. I’m hoping this will be a better Zelda experience for me than the newest Zelda games. I’m in love with the retro feeling and charm or this game.
Darksiders (PS3 & 360)
You play as one of the four horsemen of Apocalypse and is trying to restore balance to the destroyed world. Its said to be a Dark-Zeldaish game. The art is nice and from trailers it looks pretty awesome. Already preordered from Gamestop thanks to game trade-ins.
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3 & 360)
Well for most people when you say RPG they say or think Final Fantasy, its not my favorite RPG-series but I’ve enjoyed the games I’ve played so far. And now its time for part 13 to be released. After playing the demo earlier this year, I’ve been really hyped about this game and I hope it turns out really well.
White Knight Chronicles (PS3)
Long awaited RPG that was released about a year ago in Japan, the sequel was announced before this was confirmed to come outside of Japan. But it is and I can’t wait to take the role of Leonard and transform into a giant knight.
The game will have an online part where you can play as the character you have to create in-game, here you will be able to gather items to use in the games main story. I think I’ll be spending some time with the online mode.

December and the end of 2009
So yet another month has passed by with almost lightning speed and now we are entering the final month of the year. soon it will be Christmas and then we are off into 2010. I will begin writing my list of good and crappy games/movies and stuff of 2009, it will be posted on the 31th December for those who are intrested.
Since its December now and Final Fantasy XIII will be released in Japan this month, I thought I would use a picture of Lightning this month. We will have to wait until March to get the game. Hopefully it will be worth all the wait and I hope it will give me what I never found in Final Fantasy XII. Its a good game, but it didn’t click for me like it did with the other games. As I said I’m really hoping it will be worth all the wait. Hope Gamestop Sweden will have a trade in for it.
Are you going to wish for something this Christmas? I would really like a new TV, but that’s not happening. So perhaps I can get some money at least. I sure hope 2010 will be a better year economically for me, since 2009 has sucked hard at that department. Now I’m of to try Dead Space for the PS3, I borrowed it from my pal Elden. He wanted me to really play it. So I’m hoping its good, I bet he is hoping I’ll like it too. Only time will tell.

Games I’m looking forward to
Right now there are a bunch of games I’m looking forward to, both this and next year. So I thought I would make a list of all those games. Just those games that has been confirmed to make it to America and Europe.
Batman: Arkham Asylum, Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves, Brütal Legend,
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time, Record of Agarest War, Tekken 6,
Demon’s Soul, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion, Darksiders, Katamari Forever,
Final Fantasy XIII, White Knight Chronicles, Last Rebellion,
Yeah. I guess that’s all right now. At least the ones I can take from the top of my head. Lucky me at least that GameStop Sweden had their trade in deals, trade in 2 games and get some games for 1SEK (about 14cents)
Anyways. Thanks to this deal, I’ve been able to get Batman, Ratchet & Clank and Brütal Legend för 3SEK. And got rid of some old games I never played anymore. Do you have a list of games, you are looking forward to?

20years of gaming
Wow. Its really been that long since I started playing games. This year marks my 20th year as a gamer. Time really does fly. Well I’m glad to have this as a hobby and part of my life. So in celebration of this. I decided to make a list of all the games I’ve finished playing. Not every game i’ve ever played, just the ones I have finished. Get it?
I know I’ve missed some games on the list but I’ll keep updating it.
Right now I’ve finished 149 games. That’s pretty much. But is it really that much over the course of 20years? Well I guess that just shows I’ve actually had more of a life than just gaming. =)
Well here is for 20 more year at least! Hurray!
