I was thinking about doing a write-up of my favorite games from 2009, but it turns out that most of the games I enjoyed in 2009 were from 2008 or earlier. Luckily, I’ve just finished Assassin’s Creed 2, and it just so happened to be one of the best games I’ve played in a while. So instead of doing a list, I thought I’d just write a single game review instead.

After being barraged by a flurry of game announcements on Steam the other day, I decided I’d try out the demo for one of the more interesting looking titles, Torchlight. I was pleasantly surprised with the game, however — what initially looked to be merely a poor man’s Diablo 3 turned out to be a fun and addictive, if somewhat simple, dungeon crawler.

After months of reading praise for World of Goo, I finally decided to try it out a few weeks ago. I downloaded the demo, installed it, fired it up… and came away largely impressed. So I picked up the game on Steam, and spent the last week playing – and beating – it. World of Goo is a genuinely fun game that’s easy to pick up and challenging just to the right degree. My caveats with it are small and few, especially in light of the fact that it is such an entertaining and unique game.
