It would help if we waited 8 months or so. Really, no games have come out this year, only those that are TBA @ '09, like DiabloIII, and StarcraftII. SO. Let's wait until then =)
I'm hoping Halo 4 will come out and be awesome for Xbox 360
probably not in 2009,since they are already working on a halo game that is supposed to come out this year.
typically most games that come out over the course of the year are either talked about in the year before and then released that year around summer time or early fall.That or they are talked about early in the year or during the summer,and then released during the late fall early winter,for all of the Holiday shoppers out there.That is actually the time when you may see a huge influx of blockbuster games released,and some of them may not be even heard of until a couple months before,but some of the biggest ones are told about in conventions,like E3 which this year will be happening through June 2-4 of this year.In this case it is too early to decide the best of '09 yet.
