Halo3 : ODST and thats it.

Worst 360 year since 2005 :(

Really? i mean its a bummer no boishock 2, crackdown 2 or dead rising 2 are out, but im having enough trouble just catching up with games that i want to play im still down 3 to 4, and with all the new releases this fall i doubt ill be caught up by this time next year, granted my list is long all of those save forza, halo, crackdown and dead rising will be demoed before bought.

 

... maybe im reading to much into it, but its been a good year for me so far, (granted i got saints row 2 just 2 months ago, and have picked up a few more backlogged games as well)

For me, theres absolutely nothing compelling coming out this year. Assassins Creed II is the only thing i MIGHT supplement ODST with, but compared to 2010, with FF13, Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, Crackdown 2, Halo: Reach all coming out (all of which are bigger than most titles coming out this year, bar MW2), 2009 really seems like a dud year :/

I'm picking up Halo ODST at launch, but I'm undecided about any of the other holiday games. I'm going to wait for reviews and look for deals.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
