2009 was just underwhelming.

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?

I only played SF4 like a beast, and Dragon Age. The rest was all older stuff.

Mostly the year of improvements. not new games, which bores the crap outta me.

Yeah, I'm kind of with you on that. There was just a lot of little improvements on existing concepts. SF4 was good, sure, but it just felt like Super Turbo with Alpha specials. It was a great year for the DS, however.

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.

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.

I was actually really busy with all the games and didn't mind that there were so many sequels.  I'm not sure how the first quarter will be compared to the end of this year, but either way I'm really looking forward to it.

Yeah this seemed to be the year of excellent sequels. I wouldn't say I was underwhelmed in any way though.

@BestUsernameEver: At least you can look forward to 2010 which is probably going to be a fantastic year considering how many games got pushed into it.

There were good games, I had a lot of fun, and I still haven't even checked out Uncharted 2... 2009 was good enough for me.

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.

Borderlands isn't innovative but it does have its own unique sense of style of gameplay.

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.

Means literally the same thing. People need to start having real conversations on this site, seems to me that the only thing that matters is grammar.
