You decide... Which game should I start out 2009 with?

So I have a decent stack of unplayed games and figured I'd let you guys decide what I play next. Why? Who knows. I'm just about done with Half-Life 2 in the Orange Box as well as the first Gears on Insane. After that I'm open.

So what should it be? I guess I should note that I haven't played any of them except for a few hours of Little Big Planet and MM9.

A list of what you got to play would be nice.

Takes some time getting a poll together.

Of the games on your list that I've played, Metroid Prime 3 is the best.

I just started through my unplayed list (360 only) and I'm just going through alphabetically. Finished off Army of Two (except for the online stuff), and just started on Assassin's Creed last week. If you enjoyed grabbing all the orbs in Crackdown, then this game is for you! A lot of people find it repetitive, but it's not that bad.

Uncharted and Kingdom Hearts are the only others on the list that I've played. I thoroughly enjoyed Uncharted! It's been a while since I played KH, but I don't think I could go back to it now.

A lot of good choices on that list, but I went with Uncharted. It's probably my 2nd favorite PS3 game behind LittleBigPlanet, but I voted for Uncharted since it's relatively quick to play through and has a distinct ending whereas LBP is more of a "pick up and play for an hour here and there" experience for me.

It's like Gramps read my mind. Spooky.
Uncharted is spectacular; such a fun game and has the best vocal acting in any game I've ever seen. I rarely look forward to cut scenes, but here they're just great.

Here is the order I'd attack it

Uncharted - This is the game Tomb Raider wishes it could be.
RE 4
Assassin's Creed
Metroid Prime
Prince of Persia
Condemned 2
Kingdom Hearts
Conker

Uncle Gramps hit it on the head with LBP - I'd play it here and there in between the other games in order to lighten the mood. Do the same with Mega Man.

I voted for Prince of Persia since of those games, that's what I would want to play.

I will purchase and send Corvin a cheap webcam for him to record him playing We Cheer if he doesn't already have one and post for all of us to see if he's up for it. I'm sure I can find like a $10-15 thing on Amazon that would do the job

RE4 is the only thing that makes me wish I still had a Wii. A masterpiece.
