I was pretty upset to learn Dante's Inferno isn't coming out this year, the RRoD is still a problem, and there was no announcement for a new Elder Scrolls title. I guess I was shooting for the stars this year. At least BioShock 2is comin' out!

Maybe there is a good reason why PC users get it first? Anyway back on topic, the huge let down for me was MK vs DC. IMO one of the worst fighting games ever, terrible controls, horrible combo system, absurd character stroy's, trully a terrible game

It's ironic isn't it? You have people going around saying games are getting too simplified for the casuals but then they turn around and bash a game that does the opposite.

Nintedo's upcoming library (only a few noteworthy titles), the direction nintendo is going as far as gamers go (forget the housewives and the old people, make some games for the gamers that supported nintendo all these years and got you this far) and RROD. Its been 3 years and it still isnt fixed (one of the reasons i wont buy a 360, that and paying for xbox live).

The fact that there is still so many variances of the red ring errors, I got one for a melted chip, still have never got the 3 Red Rings but have got 2 different red rings which still means I get a new 360 :( Otherwise everything is fine for me....

The biggest disapointment for me is they didn't announce cerial killer as one of the jobs for the sims 3. I really want to do that. It would spice up the game, you would have to dodge the cops and stuff.

They are ingrateful that Valve decided to put out a new game. The logic makes no sense whatsoever why they are angry at getting a new game. Anyways, I'll choose no comments abut Elder Scrolls 5, although Brink seems very very cool.

I'm pretty disappointed as well that so many games are being pushed to 2010 even though they had gameplay demos and things like thatwhich seemed pretty complete to me. To tie into that, I think a major disappointment is that handhelds are coming out with more games THIS YEAR that I'm excited about than the consoles.

It's not but a lot of people feel slighted because L4D was only 4 levels and I think a lot of people were banking on some DLC to come out for the game that would add some more levels and content. Now if they want to expand their game experience they have to go out and spend probably $60 on a whole other game. This is hurting some people's feelings but if the game is that good (admittedly I haven't played anything but the demo yet) then it shouldn't be a big deal. I actually think it should be worth the full price point mainly since they are going to a whole new locale and adding a lot of new features (from what I understand).

Oh I see lol...It still bothers me that L4D gamers still complain about the FREE DLC they got and how it was an outrage, blah, blah, blah.

Felt exactly the same way, Ubisoft's conference was crap, only watched it all expecting atleast a Ghost Recon teaser in the end, I do hope they leave the whole Advanced Warfighter and go back to the old style.

Not to get into semantics, but it's called "The Old Republic" and the PC nerds are getting it because it's an MMO. Your disapointment could be that Bioware turned it into an MMO, but the KOTOR games were so great, they really lend themselves well to that format. One of the reasons I'm going to build a new PC is to get ready for this game. I just hope it lives up to the hype. But it's not a huge disappointment to me because we really have the spiritual successors to the KOTOR games in the Mass Effect series. I mean, it's Bioware, the role of the Spectre is basically that of a Jedi and Biotics are basically Force Adepts.

Not only do it absolutely agree with you, I really don;t like the Advanced Warfighter style they used on their recent games. All of you guys have made good point outs here. It's a shame L4D 2 is making ppl angry instead of rejoice, but some DLC would've been nice.

As for Elder Scrolls, there's rumors stirring about NEW DLC FOR OBLIVION, it won't be released for a while yet, but it's still something.

I don't think they need more DLC for Oblivion at this point. The game is several years old now, has had a pretty good run of DLC (I think what really started this set of successful DLC and set a good Bethesda standard which has translated nicely to Fallout 3, and I just can't see what else they would do with it. I think it's time to release a new Elder Scrolls and leave Oblivion to the wayside. Don't get me wrong, I love Oblivion and spend 24 hours playing the game without even starting the main story, but I think it's about time to turn away from it and look towards the newest edition.

Well we really haven't had any luck with console JRPGs lately. There was Star Ocean 4 back in March but thats really it.

On the plus side, fighting games have hit some sort of major growth spurt, kicking off with SF4 and Tekken 6, King of Fighters XII, BlazBlue, and Marvel VS Capcom 2 coming out soon.

1-RROD!

RED RINGS of death isstraight death for a 360...

2-Naruto:The broken Bound

Nothing special or different from the previou game:Rise of a Ninja

3-Resident Evil 5

I know its gonna sound weird but i live resident evil 5 eventho i typed it in here in this topic. It was a HUGE letdown to me because Resident evil 5; made resident evil loose its Resident Evil-NESS...Nothing scary;not as much as the fourth game at least...

Prototype being a fail I knew it was gonna be a letdown though so I wasn't too surprised. It had alot of hype though.
