2009: PC's Best Year EVER (possibly better than all consoles combined)

Save for a few gems, this list is really not that impressive. Sorry PC elitists, no one cares. Besides, I can't believe your list includes games like Mirror's Edge and Saint's Row 2 that console gamers got months ago. I'll try not to choke when I laugh too hard.

Half-Life, Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft (UT would be on here if you completely erase from your memory that UT3 EVER existed). If a new game that has any of those is released in a given year, it really doesn't matter what the consoles have. You can stack MGS4, LBP, SSBB, MKWii, Gears, any FF, ANY game, and it will still be a Technical K.O. 30 seconds into round 1 in favor of the PC. Since I see Stacrcraft in 2009 and a Diablo game in 2010, the winners are already set for those years. I'm hoping for a Half-Life 3 in 2011, I'm REALLY hoping, but I doubt it.

Well ... hmm ... no. 

One single game, even StarCraft, cannot singlehandedly make the PC lineup win against a stellar year for consoles.  MKWii, M. Prime 3, Brawl, GTA4, LBP, Gears 2, MGS4, etc. etc.  I mean, I love StarCraft as much as anyone.  I played it like a normal human being in 1998, and kept doing so until it ATE my LIFE around 2000.  Then I escaped from the frying pan into the fire known as Diablo II.  Point being, I respect what a juggernaut that game is, but no game is THAT much of a juggernaut.  But I'm not saying SCII won't win 2009 for the PC.
