so dark void is gunna be everything iron man was supposed to be? cool. mag, uncharted 2 and mw2 will be awesome, and the latter looks very different from mw1, which i didnt expect, but its very good news that theyre not just copy and pasting the old game to make some more money (the huuuuuuuuuge rrp better be worth it. in my day of the gba all the games were less than £30. aaahhh, the good old days of super maario bros 3 advance 4 what a game. captcha: restored himseelf lol

This probably isn't the case but it definitely feels like this year's fall lineup has had more "delays" than any recent years. Most of the console exclusives have been delayed to early next year and a lot of the multi-platform games have too. This year definitely went from being the best in video game history to the middle of the pack. But that first half of 2010, holy damn, that's going to be good... until those games get pushed back further.

I heard BioShock 2 was to release the 4th or so. Not quite sure though. Also, where the hell is Bad Company 2 on here?

IMHO, I agree with Amnesiac. I might have roughly $300-$400 dollars burning a hole through my wallet right now that I'm saving up for all the big titles coming out this fall/holiday season that I'm buying, which would include, but I'll be damned if I'm limited to...

Assassin's Creed 2, Halo 3 ODST, L4D2, CoD:MW 2, Borderlands, Fallout 3: GoTY Edition and a few titles that I can't seem to name right now.

I'm iffy on all the campaign only games coming out this year, such as Velvet Assassin, Saboteur, Batman Arkham Asylum, Wolfenstein, Brutal Legend, This Is Vegas, and many more titles; I get bored with single player after a while, so I rarely play it.

All in all, I'm gonna miss a few of those games that were canceled. Dark Void looked pretty awesome, though I'm not so excited by Dante's Inferno, due to all the PR stunts EA pulled.

Games I'm getting on X-Mas for sure :
KH:358/2 Days
Modern Warfare 2
Left 4 Dead 2

$40 + $80 *yes, hardened edition* + $60 = $180
Gawd this is gonna be a good, cheap X-Mas

I am actually glad to hear about these games being delayed. Now they should get extra polish because the developers of the games have nice pedigrees. I also don't need to worry about deciding which games I want to buy and witch ones I don't. The decision has been made for me. I am excited about enough of the remaining games of 2009 to the point that my wallet would have been very thin and I wouldn't have been able to buy all the ones I would have wanted.

so long as Assassin's Creed 2 is still out on time, I'll be happy.

i like how many of them have the excuse that other games are coming out at the same time and they don't want their games to get lost in the shuffle, but at this rate, there won;t be any good game around holiday because they are all afraid of the other ones coming out.

So many amazing and cool titles. Hopefully all consumers decide to buy all the games instead of picking select ones and condemning some titles to die a slow painful death.

This artical had to be written. But I can't help thinking we'll be seeing a headline "What the hell happened to 2009 Volume 2." in a month or so.

Well, its disappointing to see that Bioshock 2 was delayed, I can sleep soundly knowing that 2009's lineup still looks pretty good. (Except for that "maybe".)
