it has had its dissappointments tho like fight night 4 the most anticipated, was kinda a let down I agree but some people think Fn4 is great idk why. Some good stuff has come out though it will be hard to top the year R2 deadspace & bioshock came out.

I actually liked FNR4...probably cuz I never played any of the previous ones..and the reviews I read about why people did'nt really like it, were ones who basically said they did'nt like the new punching controls...I found it easy, I don't know....as for the rest of the new releases this year..I'd give it a C+...some decent good games(none really great to me)...and a few terrible games
Street Fighter 4,Resident Evil 5,GTA:ChinaTown Wars,MadWorld,BlazBlue,Infamous,Red Faction:Guerilla,Ghostbusters,Punch-Out!!. I love all those games. I've already bought like 11 games this year, that's the most i've ever bought in one single year, and i'm gonna get at least 10 more so hell yeah this has been a good year for gaming!!:D
Most of the best games come out in the fall so that they're ready for the christmas shopping season. It's too early to tell whether the year has been good or bad.
I don't think I've bought a game (from this year, anyway) apart from the old ones I've been catching up with the entire 09. So I guess in short, I haven't been too impressed. 2007 was kind of special for me, but 09 not so much. Although, with a handful of games coming out in the coming months (after the summer drought), things should look to be better.

Its a good year so far imo with Empire Total War, GTA: China Wars, Infamous, Killzone 2, MLB The Show 2009, Knights in the Nightmare, Devil Survivor, Henry Hatsworth,The Sims 3, Street Figther 4, Blazeblue, Dawn of Discovery, Dawn of War 2, Resident Evil 5, Red Faction Guerilla and Dragonquest V, I only think a handful of this games are triple A, but overall its a good year for games, I would take next year over it in a heart beat though.
My memories of it have been great, so far, but I think this is more due to me finally catching up on games that came out last year. While I haven't bought too many games that did come out this year, I bet there are plenty of people that have, and I am sure plenty got a lot of enjoyment from some of them. The games have either just not been for me, or I didn't want them enough to buy them and instead put them on my rental list and they just haven't been sent out to me yet. The second half of the year is looking really good though.
What's with FNR4's hate today? I thoroughly enjoyed the demo, and the only reason I haven't got it is because I have other games with higher priorities in my "to buy" list. The physics engine and revamped fighting system make for an outstanding boxing simulation.
On topic, yeah it's been a great year, but what I am really excited for is the second half of it.

FNR4 is the best boxing game made to date, period. The biggest strike against it is that the career mode should be better but the core game is untouchable and damn near perfect.

I keep seeing people complain about no face button controls, but with my limited experience with it, you really don't need them. The thumb-stick works great.
So, its been a great year. Like I said in my blog, game developers seem to have finally figured out some of us game year round. Inbetween Blazblue, KZ2, Battlefield 1943, Flower, Loco Roco 2, Infamous, Noby Noby Boy, Crimson Gem Saga and 'Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman' there has been a great mix of quality original games and sequels.
well the beginning of the year was bad but its been off to a rough start but later in the year this fall there are many ppl stoked for the fall releases like cod modern warfare 2 and assassins creed 2

It's been a good year, with good end of the year titles coming out. Going to be a bit hard for any year to match last years, GTAIV, MGS4 & Ninja Gaiden II all coming out within a few weeks.

Oh yeah it's definitely going to be tough for any game to compete against those two, but I feel we've already had five game of the year contenders and we're only six months in. I expect games like SF IV, KZ2, RE5, Flower and InFamous to be GOTY contenders at the end of the year. :)
So yeah, to answer TC's question, it's indeeed been a good year for gaming. Heck, it's been fantastic!

It's been an average year in terms of gaming so far, every year is really an average year for gaming, especially in the era of the 'Milked To Death FSP/TPS Genre'.
For fighting game fans, yes. SF4 and BB were release with KOF around the corner. Not to mention tekken coming out in Oct. Also there was Ghostbusters, infamous, protoype, and sims 3. So far its been great.

ill give you the fact that it was pretty addicting at first but it just gets so lame
like people have said you gotta wait till oct-dec to judge a year for gaming. 3/4 of the good games come out during that time. But if modern warfare 2, assassins creed 2 uncharted 2 etc live up to the hype it wont be awful XD
Nothing's come along that's completely knocked my socks off but at the same time, I've had fun with everything I've played that has come out this year (well, everything except Onechanbara :lol: ) -- Infamous, Killzone 2, Flower, Street Fighter IV, BlazBlue, Punch Out, MadWorld, GTA Lost & Damned, and most recently Splosion Man, then counting remakes Klonoa and Monkey Island. Then there's stuff I want haven't gotten to like Little King's Story, Plants vs. Zombies, Prototype, and RE5. I am disappointed at recent delays esp. Bayonetta but by the end of the year I'm thinking I'll be pretty happy with the overall list from this year.
For me it's going good so far. Killzone 2 and inFAMOUS are keeping me busy. To me it doesn't have to be a massive list. It can be only one game. If it keeps you busy, then yes, it's a good year!
For me it's been pretty great. I got this year thus far, GTA:CW ds, Dragon quest 5, Pokemon platinum, FFC: echoes of time, Madworld, Prototype,and a few olders games on the cheap such as okami, zelda twilight princess, super smash bros. brawl, COD5, Gears of war 2.
Personally I think its been an alright year for games but frankly the best thing about this for games is probably the return of E3 which was pretty awesome this year. (Also Red Faction guerilla was brilliant)
The year has been a pretty good so far. Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter 4 are truly AAA titles that im glad I bought. Prototype was a bit of a letdown (its ok its just im personally not digging it that much) live arcade is booming with Sam and Max and Secret Of Monkey Island up for grabs, upcoming is that Shadow Complex game which looks like a GOTY contender for me. The fall is where its really going to be exciting though. Splinter Cell Conviction, Assassins Creed 2, Dragon Age Origins and Alpha Protocol are all my most anticipated games this year.
