2009 felt like a completely empty year for me. Other than the rare gems like Borderlands and Uncharted 2, all I saw were expansion packs (Ballad of gay tony), Updated sequels, albeit good (Left for dead 2, Assassins creed 2 ), and more of the same (Torchlight, Gran turismo PSP, LittleBigPlanet PSP, ODST) 2009 felt like the year that could, but in the end was FAR in-superior to what 2010 has in store for us. I even feel that Q1 2010 will be better than the last half of this year. It's nice to have something to look forward to, but what do you guys think. Were there enough games to keep you thoroughly satisfied, or is it just waiting for the next decade?
2009 was just underwhelming.

" @BestUsernameEver said:Yes, DS actually had a suprisingly good year. I think Peggle came out this year, if it did, a lot of my time went towards that." @Fallen189 said:Yeah, I'm kind of with you on that.

There were some great original titles such as inFamous, BlazBlue, Demon Souls, Dragon Age Origins, Plants vs. Zombies, and League of Legends.
Sure there were a lot of sequels this year but unlike 2008 most of these sequels were superior than the original and previous games in the series, I thought there were less dissapointing games this year.
I think 2009 was a good but not a great year for gaming but I still found it to be much better than 2008, for me that was a underwhelming year for gaming.
" ya 2009 was shait. best game i played was Deadspace and thats a 2008 title. "what about the Wii version? I think that came out this year, just as good as the original I heard.
2009 would be year to remember because the amount of games that pushed back because of MW2 and ODST
Also, Borderlands really felt like the only "new" and innovative game this year
The rest were pretty much just sequels
Looking on the bright side, I am just longing for 2010 to come :D
I dunno I thought 2009 was a pretty good year. It may have been a little underwhelming on the big name title front compared to 2008, but there was a lot of smaller stuff that came out this year that really surprised me and I thought was quite good. The Graveyard, The Path, The Void, Knights in the Nightmare, Samorost 2, Machinarium, Ceville, Legacy of YS: Books I & II, and Zeno Clash are just a few that come to mind.

Don't forget 2010 is going to have a lot of sequels/improvement titles such as Mass Effect 2, Just Cause 2, Bioshock 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Super Street Fighter 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Army of Two: The 40th Day, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Crysis 2?, Yakuza 3, the new Medal of Honor. 2010 will have some great original content but it still has a lot of sequels too just like 2009.
stop being a baby, yeah it wasnt amazing like we always want it to be, but it was still a solid year...
" 2009 was great. Stop complaining. "Just a question. Keep the anger off this thread.
