4.1 - Yeah
Activision and that twat cake CEO can give my balls a thoroughly good kissing.

5 - 5+ games I'm waiting for
I got my money on Ratchet and Clank,Brutal Legend, Borderlands, Uncharted, possibly Dragon Age and a few PSP games so there's no drought for me unless your talking about the money in my wallet.

COD is a little over-rated if you ask me.

6 - I highly doubt BioShock 2 and Splinter Cell were pushed back because of Modern Warfare 2
It's extremely likely they were pushed back because they needed more time to make complete games. I mean, honestly, Splinter Cell showed its first footage at E3, and limited footage at that, and you expect it to be done for this Holiday Season? Same with BioShock 2 which has pretty much shown us a single portion of the game tons of times over and over without any new information on the game?

We have more than enough good games to look forward to this Holiday Season.

Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Rock Band Beatles, Modern Warfare 2*, Red Dead Redemption, Ratchet & Clank, Tekken 6, Dragon Age: Origins, FIFA/PES, Borderlands, Brutal Legend, Alpha Protocol, MAG, Demon's Souls, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

*Denotes the only game with an increased price tag this Holiday Season, and only in the UK.

2009 has been fairly sucky for me but seeing as we're guaranteed starcraft 2, mass effect 2 early 2010 i'll be happy, blizzard could always throw in diablo 3 for good measure........just to make sure their 2 or 3 fans are kept happy ;), i'm still deciding whether or not to get dragon age.....we'll see

EDIT: according to disagrees i am mistaken, and this has in fact been an excellent year in gaming for me, and i was also mistaken that starcraft 2 and mass effect 2 are coming out next year.........and apparently i am not still deciding whether or not to get dragon age, and have in fact decided, disagreer; do let me know when the aforementioned games are actually coming out, and let me know what my decision about dragon age was....because i don't know

@below comment, i know that, to me, christmas ( that they refered too) means the new year also, i'm sure they weren't talking about the 1 day of the year known as the 25th of december, and they were in fact talking about the christmas period ( holidays) which include january

"thats why ppl have friends", what a shallow group of friends you must have if it's only an exercise in saving money, i would think that sharing games would be a secondary thing.......

just joking, could have worded better is all
