2009 is one of the worst years in gaming in recent years.

Most of the potentially good games have yet to come out. Off the top of my head Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2, Assasins Creed 2, GT5/GT-PSP (potentialy), Forza 3, Halo: ODST, L4D2. So far we've had some good games like inFamous, Prototype, Killzone 2, so this year isn't especially bad.
