I think that the Killzone 2 engine is shite! (Sorry, but 166ms latency is NOT acceptable for a 30FPS game with frame drop).
For 2009 my list would be:
1. UE3 (its tops for a reason)
2. Capcoms framework (works brilliantly on 3 platforms and runs magnificently)
3. Infinityward's COD 4/5/6 engine (60FPS and silky gameplay with top notch visuals)
4. Cry engine 3 (I think it can be licenced this year, scrub this if im wrong, also too new to tell)
5. Phyre engine (Loveliness from Sony, k tnx)
6. (If Cry engine is scrubbed) GT5 engine (brilliance is in the purity of purpose)
Tease.
