Back in 07 the 360 had arguably it's best year yet and when you compare those big titles with the ones coming out this year...the lineup is eerily similar to one another.
Let's take a look back, and a look into the future...


Bioshock 9.1

Photobucket
Bioshock 2 (Nov. 3, 09)

Photobucket
Lost Planet 8.1

Photobucket
Lost Planet 2 (TBA)

Photobucket
Crackdown 7.8

Photobucket
Crackdown 2 (TBA)

Photobucket
Forza 2 9.2

Photobucket
Forza 3 (Oct. 27, 09)

Photobucket
Halo 3 9.5

Photobucket
Halo 3 ODST (Sept. 22, 09)

Photobucket
Call of Duty 4 9.0

Photobucket
Modern Warfare 2 (Nov. 9, 09)

Photobucket
Assassins Creed 9.0

Photobucket
Assassins Creed 2 (Nov. 19, 09)

Photobucket
Rock Band 9.0

Photobucket
Rock Band Beattles (Sept. 09, 09)

Photobucket


As you can see a lot of great titles that were released back in 07 are getting sequels in 09. Now I know a lot of these titles are multiplats but that doesn't change the fact that the 360 looks to match 07 and maybe even surpass it by the end of the year.

2007 was my favorite year this generation. It seems that 2009 is bringing back a lot of the franchises that I loved in the Holiday season. The only thing keeping this from "topping" 2007 in my opinion is the absence of Mass Effect 2 (the original launched in the holidays of 07) and the fact that Halo 3: ODST is an expansion. Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited for ODST, but Halo 3 is surely in a higher caliber. Otherwise, can't wait for Fall!

No, but I think 2010 will be better than 2007 for the 360.

No, the 360's 09 is no way near its 07. Its not even near its 08 (Gears 2, ToV, Banjo, Braid, GW2, Fable 2, Viva Pinata 2).

Wow attack of the multiplatform games! Only a few of those are exclusives. The question is will they continue to sell more on the 360 than the PS3?

Yea it's gonna be out this fall, but two titles that 09 is sorely missing this fall that we got in 07 are Mass Effect 2, and something like the Orange Box.

Good. Its one of the 2 only 360 games that really caught my eye at Microsoft's E3 press conference. Sadly the other (Alan Wake) won't make it this year

Mass Effect was broken imo so no probs for me. Didn't really care for the Orange box either

Brutal Legend will surpass all those flops and rehashes. Flopza 3 won't touch God Turismo 5.

Hey, at least we get another Halo! Amirite?!

Twoyears is pretty much the basic time interval for a decent sequel, so it's no surprise.It does show what a great year 2007 was.Hopefully the sequels surpass their predecessors. It sure looks that way.

But I think 2010 is going to be great.This holiday though, is going to hard on my pockets.

Sheesh guys, spread the effin luv throughout the year.

Your topic title is different from the poll title. But it's very possible that 09' will be better than 07', because i think some of the games, like Bioshock and Assasin's Creed, will have much improved sequels. The only thing missing for me is Mass Effect 2 (first one released in 07').

Forza3, Bioshock2 and COD all look like they are going to be great games. I'd say 2009 will be better in quality.

I cant' see too much in terms of exclusives coming this year, so I don't really see this year as being exceptional for me in terms of what the Xbox 360 is offering. As a guy who owns all the consoles and a PC, I tend to consider the value of a console by it's exclusives since if a game is multi-plat I would be able to play it anyways even if I didn't have that particular platform.

It's gonna be a good year, but no where near the scope of 07.

I think 2010 will be better with Halo: Reach, Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, Crackdown 2, and hopefully a Rare game.

07 IMO was better because everything was new and the hype buildup for Halo 3 was too intense for life (I'm gonna get flamed for that). 09 we get sequels but we kinda know what to expect it's not as exciting. 2010 actually looks better in general for both 360 and PS3.

From what I see its also a good year for sony as well, considering all that you named is multiplat except for Halo Odst and Crackdown.
