The following is the 2009 inductiees to the Much Games Hall Of Fames.
| | Castlevania: Symphony of the Night | Debuting on October 3rd, 1997 for the Playstation, Castlevania once again took the series to new highs and is one of the best in the series. Even to this day many people still enjoy this classic game.
While its retro 2D graphics may have off-put some PlayStation gamers at first, anyone owning a 16-bit system can easily appreciate the greatness of Konami's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Konami took the side-scrolling idea to its fullest in this title. The game's enormous maps, huge range of weapons, constant enemies, and excellent balance all still puts this squarely on the all-time list, no questions asked. Add to that a memorable soundtrack and you have a gothic masterpiece that will serve as a benchmark for many future 2D action titles.
Congratulations to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for making it into the Much Games Hall of Fame.

| | | | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas | Release Date: october 26, 2004 ps2
june 7, 2005 xbox, pc
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas follows the life of Carl Johnson a.k.a. CJ of this installment of the series. Al thou the game play is similer to that of GTA 3 it is also quite different with the addition of several new features to enhance your game play experience. One of these features which was long over due was the ability to swim which meant you no longer drowned when hitting a ramp or being chased by the cops and end up the in water. Another new feature that changed the game play was having to take care of CJ. This was acheived by having him eat, and work out. Eating was by far the most important because if you did not feed CJ he would slowly lose health and eventuly die if ingored long enough. Working out was not a big part of taking care of CJ as it was more or less used for certian missions and girlfriends.
There are just too many new features in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as opposed to the previous versions to talk about.
Congratulations to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for entering into the Much Games Hall of Fame.

| | | | Mega Man | Mega Man made his debut to North America in December of 1987 (December 1989 in Europe), and he became an instant classic character. The objective in this game is to stop Dr. Wily from taking over the world.
The game itself featured Mega Man taking on 8 different enemies, only after going through them, you will need to go through Dr. Wily’s stages. Each enemy has a weakness to each other’s weapon.
Mega Man became so huge that the game has 8 sequels to it, and multiple spinoffs to the game itself. From Mega Man X all the way through Mega Man Battle Network, there are more Mega Man Games for almost every console available today. Mega Man has even generated a few shows. Over 20 years, Mega Man has been generating a lot of popularity and it deserves its spot in the Much Games Hall of Fame.

| | | | Resident Evil | Debuting on March 30th, 1996 for the Playstation, Sega Saturn, and PC. This game is the one that put Survivor Horror games on the map and made many spin offs and was paved the way for ones games like Fear and Silent Hill.
The sign of a great videogame is that it's as much fun to watch someone else play it as it is to play yourself. With its excellent graphics and heart-stopping action, this can certainly be said of RESIDENT EVIL a graphic adventure game that is as engaging as a Hollywood horror movie. In the game, you and your partner are given a set number of tasks to accomplish and puzzles to solve, and when you're not busy doing that you're blasting away at undead zombies and packs of demonic dogs. The weapons at your disposal range from a relatively ineffective pistol to a grotesquely effective rocket launcher. In the years since this game first came out there have been dozens of games attempting to snatch the RESIDENT EVIL crown, but so far none have come close in delivering engaging game play and cinematics that cause event the most hardened gamer to jump out of their skin.
Congratulations to Resident Evil for making it into the Much Games Hall of Fame.

Each race is completely different from the next and they all have there special units and buildings which also comes with advantages and disadvantages.
Even the storyline was a good in the game, and even the online mode was one that can be defined as something that is good. Anyone that has never played the game really should because they do not know what they are missing.

| | | | Zelda II: The Adventure of Link | The second Zelda game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, hit North America in 1988, but it hit Japan first. The objective of the game was to collect 6 Magical Crystal Shards, and use them to awaken Princess Zelda from her slumber.
In this game, Link’s shadow was the main villain instead of Ganon. The Hearts were replaced with a life energy bar, and the game also eliminated the RPG style to it. The game also featured the original overview of the world, and a side-scrolling view in towns, and when fighting enemies. One item that was kept in the game, and has been in most games in the series was the ability to learn new sword techniques. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is a vintage game that was really different from the games in the series, and therefore has earned its place in the Much Games Hall of Fame.
