I know that it is only Q1, but I have to say that this is shaping up to be the BEST YEAR EVER in gaming.  Usually, Q1 is a barren wasteland that is devoid of any games worth your attention.  But this year, in no small thanks to Modern Warfare 2, a lot of really great titles were held until after the Christmas season. We are barely through month three and the list of big games released so far are mind blowing; God of War III, BioShock 2, Mass Effect 2, Dark Siders, Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy XIII, Bayonetta...need I go on?  If you think that this is a fluke brought by publisher's fearing MW2, then think again.  By the end of Q2 we will see Super Mario Galaxy 2, Red Steel 2, Just Cause 2, Crackdown 2, Splinter and Cell Conviction. Hopefully this is a sign that publisher's are waking up to the fact that gaming is a year round form of entertainment. Man, it's a good time to be a gamer.
