Last year had brilliant games that you could torture your whole existence with it. It started with GTA IV, the worst sequel of the best franchise made ever. then it came to summer, A game that everyone was talking about, and it should "Make PS3 owners cry" but Ninja Gaiden 2 did otherwise and made the consumers such as me to moan. From a shitty gameplay to its horrible English translation and story. therefor (or therefore, sorry for misspelling this word) We had Crysis: Warhead, well it was a good Company modification. FarCry 2... well Never played it.
After a While I played Fable II and this game ruined my memories of the original Fable. (Lost Chapters)
Last game that I purchased in 2008, Was CoD: WaW. I excepted a game at least with an equal quality comparing with CoD2, but well I disappointed and my progress in this game stopped just after the first campaign.

Now put yourself as me, would you buy a game in 2009? A new year, a new way of deformation.

Cheers.
