Feature: Top 15 games to play over the holidays
First off: no Mario games. We all love Nintendo’s main man, but I could list off the good plumber’s titles ’til the cows come home, and I don’t have any cows…so that might go on for a while. Also, all entries come from this generation of consoles, because frankly, my entire list would consist of GoldenEye otherwise. So with that said, how can you get your gaming fix this holiday season with all manner of trash talking siblings, rambunctious cousins, and overly curious aunts and uncles scurrying around the house?

Feature: Video games’ 15 all-time best opening levels
Pretty memorable first level, right?
So, as I was researching this list, I was filled with a desperate urge to replay (or play) every one of these games. That’s what a great opening level will do for you. No sitting through boring tutorials, no unnecessary exposition; just cut right to the heart of the game and never look back. Now due to the nature of this list, open-world games are severely lacking here (but not completely absent!). And whether it’s because game design has gotten better over the years or because “you just had to be there” to fully appreciate a game’s innovations, this list is largely populated by modern titles (sorry, Super Mario 64). Now I’ll acknowledge the irony of this mundane intro and let you get to that list!

Is this Fiddy's year?
Another year has come and gone, and despite more delays than I can ever remember in one year, 2009 still saw more great games than I could possibly get around to playing. 2009 also saw me jumping into the whole game-writing thing for the first time (well, sort of). Consequently, this is InsaneBear’s first GOTY feature, and we’re going to try to keep it relatively simple. Maybe next year I’ll throw in some quirky awards meant to recognize specific games, but for now, we’ll just be sticking to the GOTY model. Without further ado…

Reactions: Uncharted 2 gets some free DLC
As far as trailers go, that was pretty bad. They could have at least shown some gameplay in there. But hey, it’s a free multiplayer map! How often does that happen?
Author: CodyReactions: 4 minutes and 39 seconds of sweet, sweet Uncharted 2 gameplay
The attention to detail in this game is just phenomenal. The animations really give it another level of believability. Kind of wish I had a PS3 for Nathan Drake’s latest adventure.
Author: CodyE3 ’09: Finally, the full length demos you’ve been searching for
Christ, these things took a while to go up, but I’ve finally found some suitable stage demos that give ten minute tastes of all the hottest games. Forgive the terrible editing and annoying host in these videos, but that’s what I get for milking other sites for their content (thanks GameSpot!). If only I had the money to go to E3 and schedule stage demos with all the biggest developers…

You asked for it, you got it! These demos aren’t full length, but give a good idea of what to expect in the gameplay. Let’s jump right into it with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
How about the massively awesome MAG?
