Man oh man, I could not have picked a worst time to be a struggling college student in debt. So many freaking games are anticipated in 2010, it makes me cry.
After seeing Avatar in 3D today I'm pretty sure where I see the future of games. But we'll see.
I think in 5-10 years times we'll see full 3D games that make what we play today seem impossible once we have the depth of 3D. It'll be like going from one eye to two.
Are you going to do a Better PSP game thingy? I mean, I guess there wasn't much this year...but aren't there some really good games coming out next year for the PSP?
I know KH:BbS is coming out...that's at least worth a mention, right?
@Rachel Fogg: Alrite, just for kicks, I made an iPod Wesker ad in a few minutes right now, using only Pixelmator 1.5 and a few minutes with the Tolerance tool...

This has been great looking forward with Kotaku, because 2010 looks to be amazing. My New Years resolution, making my site as developed as this one. Thanks for keeping me in-touch with all the 2009 gaming news Kotaku crew! - Jon Q
Looks like a chocka block start.
Sucks that I can't think of many of 2010's later games(beyond delays or jsut undated games)
Nothings gonna get in the way of me and my games....
@deanbmmv: I misread that as "Asteroids: Impact HD" and thought the whole video was a trailer/opening video for an HD, current gen remake of Asteroids.
I am so god damn disappointed to know that I misread it.
The first one was an excellent game despite some of its short comings, and is the only DS game that actually have me any sort of anxiety to get through areas. Great sound design, and good controls made it a classic DS game that no one played. I really look forward to this new one, and hopefully a new Moon (not New Moon, stupid twilight!)
Today on the bus, I noticed a kid with a DSi in front of me, and because my seat was higher decided to watch him play seeing what he would do.
Interestingly, from failure after failure he kept attempting more random objects until he was finally able to complete his objective, but some of the things he used surprised me.
@D Mitsuki, Gotta have guts kid!: I actually thought the side where you just had to retrieve the star was more challenging than the "puzzle" side. Even still, it wasn't that hard, but it left room for more creativity and fun than say, "Get the Pirate his treasure." *sigh* Most of those "challenges" were not challenging at all.
You know what would have made Scribblenauts better form a gameplay perspective?
A "hard mode" where you had to play through the entire game without using any words more then once. As in once you summon something and clear the stage then the game locks it out for the rest of the playthrough.
@AV-WAVE: And on the action levels, if you want to be cheap...you just need Handcuffs and Vending machine (or some other container that can hold items) :P
I was actually pretty disappointed with the game (just traded it in for spirit tracks). The idea behind the game is really cool and sounds good in theory. They did a horrible job of implementing it in my opinion. It suffered from being so awkward to control, to the point where I'd know what I'd have to do but had so much trouble getting that little dude to do it that I gave up on it. Poor poor controls. too bad.

There's plenty of stuff coming out for the PSP, it's just mostly Japanese games.
12/20/09
Yep, perhaps that's not enough games...

It sucks for me, because the game is not puzzling at all. hahaha. Just get a helicopter and a rope, and the possibilities are endless. :D

The fun is in CREATIVELY figuring out a situation.

Clearly wasn't deliberate, as it has now been changed, leaving this comment entirely meaningless. Ho hum. Good deed for the day done.
