Some of them should be in a unbelievably GOTY high-quality level: Starcraft 2, Empire: Total War, Dawn of War 2 and Demigod.

it would be nice if it was finally the year for something other than shooters. Sadly thou the list only seems to have a few winners on it that could compete with the bombardment of games coming out in 09.

Still waiting on a New Road Rash and Legend of Dragoon 2...

Please don't mention Starcraft II and GOTY in the same sentance. It just reminds me of how Blizzard missed their chance to innovate and create a truly great game.

I wish StarCraft 2 was coming to XBox 360. Halo Wars will be a good game on XBox 360 in 2009. RTS could actually walk on console.

As I said, there's 3 HUGE RTS titles coming: Starcraft 2, Dawn of War 2 and Empire: Total War. All 3 of them are from series that are higher respected than Gears of War, Resistance, Bioshock, etc...

Then there's Demigod, which looks amazing, Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment (expansion to 2008 GOTY award-winning Sins of a Solar Empire) Company of Heroes (expansion to 2006 GOTY award-winning Company of Heroes), Anno 1404, among others-

In my opinion, this year's RTS lineup looks better than last year's Shooter lineup.

wasnt insulting the games, just saying that most of them will probably be overshadowed, kind of like Dead Space and Valkryia Chronicles was in 2008, Too Many GOOD Games coming out.

Also you forgot that Red Alert 3 is due out for PS3 in 09.

Most games from any genre/sub-genre gets overshadowed. What I'm stricly talking about is the quality of the games, nothing else (I don't even know why you brought up sales).

But I don't think they'll flop because Strategy games are one of the cheapest genres to develop for (and most being made on PC is another plus for cheapness).
