Continuing our series of the best games of '09, we're taking a look at the best underground titles of last year. What that means is we're recognizing the best games of '09 that had absolutely no fan following before it was released. Brand new IPs and low-budget projects are exacly what you'll find here. But let's be real, a game doesn't need a huge fan following or a huge budget to be excellent and that was proven over again with the very well produced games on this list. Hit the jump to see what we thought we're the best.

The people who put together the Video Games Live concerts are putting together an official Video Games Live MP3 player. The MP3 player will feature 2 GIGs of internal memory, a built in mic to record audio, a built in speaker in case you lose your headphones and what looks like a color LCD display. The MP3 player will be packaged with a pair of VIVO headphones and a USB adapter to transfer songs, of course.

I have to be honest. I was completely clueless when I first saw footage of Alan Wake. I didn't know what kind of game it was, I didn't know if it was based on something or not, I just knew that it looked amazing. Just from the trailer that was shown at last year's E3, I saw some very impressive looking lighting effects, especially for a game that was coming out exclusively for the Xbox 360. I got to spend time with the final build of Alan Wake; hit the jump to see how this unique title turned out...

Alright Let’s get this party started. I got to sit down and take some time with the new Tekken at E3. Right off the bat, Tekken 6 is gorgeous. It’s the first Tekken game to be released on the current generation of game systems. It also marks the debut of some new characters to the Tekken world including Bob. Bob is… well… he’s just Bob. Ok fine, he’s fat as all hell and what’s even more weird is that he’s WAY faster than a fat guy should be.

While at the Game Developers choice award show in San Francisco, there were so many indie titles that hoped would show up on home systems. But when it came to Shank, I prayed more fervently than for any other. One of the reasons is that Shank is one of my most personal favorite genres; 2D side-scroller. You don't see many of those anymore, especially one this beautifully animated. Click ahead to read more.
