haha...could be fun...

No Xbox 360 games for 2009 confirmed!

Alternatively, Fable Music and Gears of War Wars (or Dawn of Gears of War?).

Pretty crap? While yes i do agree they aren't the best (your points about the avatars and such are spot on) they can keep a big secret if they really want to...remember the FFXIII announcement?

That was Square Enix.

And this is off-topic.

Ninja Blaide will be released 29th January.

besides that, I think MS will have Mass Effect 2, Star Ocean: The last hope, Alan Wake, Forza 3, Splinter Cell, Conker (You heard it here first) and Assassins Creed 2 exclusively. I think MS might buy Assassins Creed 2 to be exclusive, just a thought got no proof. MS will make sure, there is something big coming out. As you said, they had a huge game every year, this one won't be different.

And there is a new lionhead-game to be revealed early next year. If Peter Molyneux does the same like he did with Fable II, I will be happy.

eh its not that off topic...my point being i'm sure they have a heavy hitter in development that they are keeping low key for now...and while yes square enix announced it did you think it took Microsoft by surprise? of course they knew and they kept it a secret, i'm simply saying that It is entirely possible they have a large caliber game that hasn't been leaked yet

Even Microsoft didn't know they were getting FFXIII? HOLYSHITMEGATONWTFBBQ

It's kinda on topic, I think.

Mass Effect 2. Well, I hope.

most companiues have 2 or 3 big titles per year. so far all we know for next year is that Sony has GT5 and Uncharted 2, Nintendo has wii sports resort but we dont know abything for microsoft. of course each company also has a ton of smaller/niche games
