Two things:
1. I'm baffled by your boredom with Assassin's Creed II. I can see getting bored in the first one--it's a great game, but gets very repetitive and is pretty much the same missions over and over. But to each his/her own I guess.
2. I don't think you should get too discouraged just yet. If you look at the last few months (specifically Oct. through Dec. 2009), there were definitely some gems that came out (Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, MW2, ACII), but it wasn't the bum's rush of new blockbusters that we usually get.
That being said.....take a look at just Jan-March of 2010. Holy crap. If you don't look forward to any of that, you're crazy.
