Wow, that was way harder to pick then I thought it would be...If it was the only game I could get for the year, Uncharted 2. Just because the multi player is really well done and I assume the single player (from what I've seen) is insane. I think it will have the most replay value for me.

I'm still waiting for the promised announcement of a release date for White Knight Chronicles at E3..... That would be my pick but if it doesn't release in that time frame my pick from that list I think it would probably be Assassin's Creed 2 but it's a tough call.

I think White Knight may be a 2010 release

I think you might be right Cry If it was coming out any sooner they probably would have been all about announcing it.

Tekken 6 for sure. I've been waiting forever for it, just recently ordered an arcade control pad in anticipation.

I would probably go for Heavy Rain because it will be different from anything else out there.

The model they were running before that one - Fight Stick 3

I wanted to get the one you bought but I barley play fighting games. I'm pretty casual so I went with the older model (and used) ahhaha. I'm very happy with mine so far. Does yours have "clicks" in the joystick? Or is it a free flow smooth one? I was choked mine has clicks for each of the directions at first but then i found I was actually better with them then on my friends Sanwa crazy stick that has free flow. I dunno why. Most hard core North American arcade folks hate the clicks.

I kind of agree with Heavy Rain being different from others and it being a nice choice. But it's hard man... I'll have to make an analysis before answering. By the way, excellent question Sithlord. Why? Mainly because this will really help people, like me, decide which is the option that simply shines in the list of the best options.

It still isn't here so I'm not sure yet, but the reviews point to it being clicky. I prefer the clicking too because the Tekken 6 arcade has that.
