As others pointed out, Beyond Good & Evil 2 is probably the most glaring omission.
I think Prototype, Borderlands, and some of the others omitted are fairly high profile. Most of them landed covers in GameInformer and other big magazines when they were announced.
Great list, though, can't wait for everything coming in 2009.
most of these games are news to me, and the only one that i would even show any interest in is dark athena, and i probly wont get that, so to hell with this list
Hehe, 50 Cent Blood on the Sand sounds like a next-gen blaxploitation flick. I think I remember reading something about it before, I didn't think something like that could possibly be real. Damn that's funky!
