There weren't as many games at this year's Tokyo Game Show as there had been in years past, but there were still enough quality titles on display -- from both the East and West sides of development -- to compete for a spot on our unofficial and completely unscientific list of top games from the show. Winners shall receive nothing beyond our continued anticipation. Feel free to nominate your own candidates in the comments section!
Top 10 Games of Tokyo Game Show 2009
1) Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
TGS 09 Trailer | Hands-On Preview | Demo First 13 Minutes | Developer Interview
Billy Berghammer: "However, co-op is the main dish in Peace Walker, and based on our short hands-on time, it's looking quite promising. When playing a cooperative level, players choose which type of Snake they want to use to tackle a mission -- Battle Dress (best armor, yet slow), Sneaking Suit (Snake has a shield, yet if not equipped has weak armor), Jungle Fatigues (balanced), and Naked Snake (little defense, but fast and has a brutal weapons load-out). I initially chose Naked Snake, and enjoyed his speed and vast weapons."
2) Crackdown 2
Gameplay Demo | Hands-On Preview | Developer Interview | Screenshot Gallery
Patrick Klepek: "Let it be known: Crackdown was made for a robust, sprawling series of multiplayer options. Deathmatch is a perfect compliment to the Crackdown gameplay and the sense of verticality means the ebb and flow is completely different from anything else out there. Unlike a great many other shooters coming down the pike, Crackdown 2 doesn't have to worry about the monster that is Modern Warfare 2; this is another beast entirely."
Gameplay Footage | Hands-On Preview | Demo Walkthrough Video
Patrick Klepek: "I have to commend Square Enix for giving players opportunities to encourage movement about the environment in order to dodge enemy encounters. It's tough to tell how extensively this will extened to the entire game, but there were several instances in the Final Fantasy XIII demo where I was able to find a secret path around the enemies that prevented those encounters from ever happening."
4) Dead Rising 2
Multiplayer Trailer | Hands-On Preview
Patrick Klepek: "By far the most popular mode shown here at TGS was Slicecycles. Are you ready for this? Imagine an arena filled with thousands of zombies ready to be ripped apart by motorcyclists who have strapped chainsaws to the sides of their bikes. The laughter was infectious across this and the other game modes, as well."
5) Gran Turismo 5
Gameplay Footage | Hands-On Preview | Studio Tour of Polyphony Digital | GT5 Modes Revealed
Billy Berghammer: "However, the big news is that we finally have game details. Gran Turismo 5 will feature 900 cars, 20 locations, 70 variations of tracks, a new physics model, and promised damage that will affect not only the physical appearance of the cars and affect performance, but for race cars, parts will see physical damage, and also get completely torn off the vehicle. Lose a fender or door, and it will lay in the track – damaging other cars that run into it. It’s about time Polyphony!"
6) Assassin's Creed II
TGS 09 Trailer | Preview | Developer Interview
Billy Berghammer: "Tasked with dropping five archers perched upon rooftops, Ezio clears them out and lets imposters move into place to further the mission. Combat is greatly expanded, and not only did we witness Ezio scale buildings and then pull unsuspecting archers off their posts, but he can also use one as a shield before head slamming two enemies at once.
7) The Last Guardian
TGS 09 Trailer | Fumito Ueda Interview
Patrick Klepek: "The small boy, whom we presume to be the main character, appears on the screen, looking at something we cannot see. Soon, though, he moves around the wall and peers over at the creature. The boy is quiet, very quiet, deliberately attempting to not wake the slumbering beast. His hand moves closer and closer to the creature until he begins petting and brushing him. The beast awakens."
8) FFCC: The Crystal Bearers
TGS 09 Trailer | Hands-On Preview | Demo Walkthrough Video
Billy Berghammer: "A much more interesting encounter happened when while running down a hallway I set off a trap,which sent a moving skeletal demon platform towards me that had a door in the middle branded with an arrow on it. By locking onto the door it and jerking the Wiimote in the desired direction, the demons would attack, and by latching onto them would cause them to jab the platform. It was actually a pretty neat combat mechanic and I hope Square-Enix has gobs of things like this in the game to keep things fresh."
9) Splinter Cell: Conviction
TGS 09 Trailer | Hands-On Preview
Sterling McGarvey: "Sure, during E3, Ubisoft's demo felt like watching a Bourne movie, but when you're in the role of stealthy badass government agent, you start to see how easily a pack of thugs can dispatch you. They chat with each other a lot, and they'll move in packs if there are enough of them. I was also told that by the time I reach the point in the game that was today's demo, I'll be well-versed in Conviction's combat style."
10) Lost Planet 2
TGS 09 Trailer | Hands-On Preview
Sterling McGarvey: "The tools came in handy as my team faced two giant boss Akrid who were blind as bats, but just as resourceful with their hearing. As my teammates made noise, these one-story-tall creatures would use their sonar abilities to rush in with vicious attacks. Fortunately, the VS gun allowed me to keep some distance from them and land some devastating attacks. Eventually, we floored both of them."

i hope peace walker is better then ops
bluepheonixia
ACII looks very nice i have to say. that's the one game i will be buying last quarter this year. dead rising 2 also looks very nice. i sorely wish i had a ps3 thought o experience the last guardian and uncharted 2 though (even though uncharted 2 isnt on the list)

I don't know why but I'm just not hyped for Peace Walker like I was for MGS4 :( And it's really sad because hyping MGS4 was fun as heck. Why? Don't know but I can't really hype a game for the PSP all that much when it could be doing so much more on console.
Rising? Screw Rising. If Kojima isn't making it, I'm not caring.....(still sadly gonna shell out the 60$ for it) Oh and thankyou Xbox. Rising could potentialy do what MGS4 did with unbelievable sound and graphics but uh oh, looks like we have to compress every last file a thousand times to fit it on an inferior 10 gigs. NOT saying I have anything wrong with the xbox but I'd love to see them get blueray so my multiplatform games don't suffer. Can you imagine MW2 uncompressed!??!?!

Crackdown 2 looks good, but it is definitely NOT better then any of these games: Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Assassin's Creed II, The Last Guardian or Splinter Cell: Conviction! It's just not....

Finaly love for a handheld game, I hate how everyone dismisses it just because it's a handheld, heck this will be a HELL OF A LOT better than MG:Rising LIGHTING BOLT ACTION >.>
Alcarran
... nothing about FFXIII Versus I see... Too bad
vanapes
Good list especially assassins creed 2
AngelsandDemons
What about Pac Man:ODST?

i gotta say, and this isnt a favorites list, the 10 games i am most excited for right now, in no order, are uncharted 2, brutal legend, final fantasy crystal bearers, crackdown 2, mgs peace walker, casltevania lords of shadow, god of war 3, assassins creed 2, modern warfare 2, and monster hunter 3.

red steel 2 is gonna be sweet, but i dont think people see it as epic as it is, or will be, and also, it really wasnt shown too much at tgs. i think it would be able to make it on the top 10 if they made a big deal about it.
ShakeNBaker
WTF !!!!!???? Where is RedSteel 2??? That game revolutionizes the 1st person perspective and not even an honorable mention. Screw you Wii haters!!!!!
140000541
awsome list, i agree with all the games, just maybe not the exact order. and to bleugh07 what do you mean xbox has more exlcusives? i dont think so. i could be wrong, but i could list more ps3 exlcusives off the top of my head. only xbox exclusives i can think of are halo, fable, forza, gears of war, crackdown, left 4 dead, mass effect, alan wake, and the new splinter cell. ps3 got god of war, resistance, uncharted, littlebigplanet, infamous, heavenly sword, killzone, motorstorm, SOCOM, buzz, ratchet and clank, gran turismo, modnation racers, mag, heavy rain, the last guardian, white knight chronicals, agent, final fantasy 14, demon's souls, sly cooper, most past and future metal gear solid games, and games that havent been confirmed like twisted metal and jak and daxter. im sure im missing many from both systems, but sony obviously has more exclusive titles. microsoft also took many titles that were just on the playstation. not dissin on the xbox. i got both. but i also got way more ps3 games, and 1/4 of my xbox games are guitar hero. i think the best quality about the xbox is the controller. pretty much the only thing i think that is better than the ps3.

conviction and AC 2 FTW!!!

People actually care for Lost Planet? That game wasn't fun at all.....and it wasn't even that highly reviewed a game.
yogiboy789
if only square enix annouced more news about final fantasy xiii versus and crackdown 2 being number 2 on the list there is something wrong.
dwplive
mass effect 2 must have been absent.. that is the number one game for 2010 hands down
gambit1023
