I think after 2008 the 360's 2009 was always going to be weaker from an exclusive point of view. But a lot of great multiplatform titles launched, Batman being a particular standout, and there's still Reach, Alan Wake, etc. on the horizon.

Indeed. There were tons of high quality multiplatform titles this year and still some to come. When you look at it this way it shows that both consoles did indeed have pretty solid lineups. When you take into the exclusive territory though, one clearly shines over the other and much of that has to do with one of thos companies having a very large amount of quality 1st/2nd party studios.

Which 5 games last x-mas, and which 3 u plan ths year?

Prince of Persia, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, MK VS DC & Lips. This year, Left 4 Dead 2, Fallout GOTY and Assassin's Creed 2. Maybe Lips 2 if I like what I see.

So u pretty much repeat last year lol.

But u have good taste.

LOL that's what I thought after I wrote it out

Next year I'll have far more interesting games to play though, Alan Wake, Splinter Cell, Dead Rising, Dante's Inferno and Bioshock 2 just in the first few months!

What are you getting this year?

Assassin's Creed 2, Dragon Age, and possibly Forza 3, Risen and Left 4 Dead 2.

Damn, that's a short list now that I think about it. Where are all the games?

Sounds enough to getyou through christmas, take it you're getting risen for PC? 360 version doesn't look so good.

PC it is yes.

Ur PC sux rite?

nah, graphics card could do with updating, but other than that it can play most new games.
