Anyone else think 2009 is better than 2010

Considering 2010 is now only one month old, I really fail to see how you can make the judgment.ViewtifulScott

As far as I know, this year's games are really different from the common 'oh, shooter, oh, fighting game' years we have been having. This year has more beat-em-ups and Strategy games, something we really haven't had. and if I am right, there was not that many JRPGs last year, so that on top of Mass effect 2 and Bioshock 2 (very odd shooter), this year looks to have some variety. Just look at Bayonetta; thats the first sign of the new year.

I don't know TC, this year has some great games coming. Red Dead Redemption, Mafia II, Diablo III (rumored to be out in '11 but I've yet to see a link confirming this), Heavy Rain, hopefully the new Batman: AA, Super Mario Galaxy 2, GOW 3, Splinter Cell, and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Bump this on the new year and I'll let you know.

five weeks into the new year and your already complaining about the lack of titles.. get back to us at the end of the year !

A bit early to say, no? RK-Mara

I do. 2009 was full of great action adventure titles, and this year there is not to many. Shooters were more plentiful in 2009. I do think that 2010 has better JRPG's, but IMO they don't equate to action adventure titles.Angry_Meat

Like others have said, give 2010 more of a shot, were only past the first month. Personally I have played Mass Effect 2 so far which beats anything I played in 2009 hands down.

2009 is better than 2010, because 2010 isn't finished yet :| Wait till December and then come talk about comparing 'em.

I hate the notion of better or worse and personally focus on "different." Regardless, this year is only a month old and we've already had Bayonetta, Darksiders, Army of Two: 40th Day, no more Heroes 2, Tat. Vs. Capcom, and ME2. Next week we are getting Bioshock 2 so honestly, I'm pretty damn happy.

Seeing as only a month has passed of this year, it's impossible to say of how the years compare. I still feel this year will be better, at least for me. Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy XIII, Bioshock 2, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, Dead Space 2, Super Street Fighter IV, Dragon Quest VI, Dragon Quest IX, God of War 3, Aliens vs Predators, Bayonetta, Dante's Inferno, Metroid: Other M, No More Heroes 2, Tatsunoku vs Capcom, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Ace Attorney: Investigations and more. For some reason, I had almost no game to look forward to at the start of 2009, so I'm very optimistic on 2010.

No I don't think so. Sure 2009 was an excellent year with Street Fighter IV, Blazblue, Resident Evil 5, Halo 3: ODST, Assassin's Creed 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, etc. but I'm hard pressed not to believe 2010 will at the very least equal it when we're only a month in and already have Bayonetta, Mass Effect 2, Darksiders, and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. There's a ton of awesome games like Super Street Fighter IV, Final Fantasy XIII, Alan Wake, Lost Planet 2, Dead Rising 2, Dante's Inferno, Halo Reach, a bunch of dlc for some of last year's games, etc. slated for release this year. I think 2010 will do extremely well.

No. Halo:Reach, Fable3, GT5(hopefully), Dante's Inferno, God of War3, New Zelda and other good reasons.

2009 was great in gaming wise. my life was kinda screwed in 2009

Those games are incredible, yes, but did I look forward to them before their release? Nope, not personally. Those were all games that took me more by surprise than actually awoke my interest as a concept. Except for Demon's Souls, maybe, which always looked intriguing. I feel there are bigger games coming out this year, but as I say, that's just me.

2010 sounds so futuristic. Just wait to see what's in store. Adam_the_Nerd

Arthur C. Clarke thought so too.
