Still though, I can't stress how gutted I am that my 360 won't be seeing action this year. Splinter Cell was about it until Crackdown 2.

Also, despite the disbelief expressed by some, I would not be surprised at all if the real reason for these moves is actually CoD. Given the hype, how well CoD usually sells, and the fervent love for 4 over 5 in almost every sector of the industry (including the mass-market peeps), it's the juggernaut everyone is eager to avoid. With companies reporting massive drops in year-to-year revenues, it's no surprise they're actually doing so.
However, if companies start overloading January/February, it could spell disaster because of all the broke-ass peeps coming off of the holidays...

Things used to be so blissful in my childhood when I didn't pay attention to future releases, only checking every now and then for what was out now.

Hopefully they're working out the giant flaw in their storyline where Lambert is supposed to be dead. Yeah, because I know that at the end of Double Agent, I totally saved Lambert's life and got the "Best Ending" achievement. So how can I get the ending that the developers are most satisfied with and have it not carry over to the sequel? Seriously, apart from the amazing Michael Ironside, Lambert was the best part about that game. Keep him in it.
Well scratch that. The amazingly subtle in-game advertising was the best.
*EDIT*
Anyone know how to move the image to the bottom of the post? My HTML skills are insufficient.

@AngryEddy:
That has to be the worst one for me.
I call for a separation of video games and state!

Yes. I know a lot of games that get sequels have multiple endings. But when they go against what is called the "Best Ending" in the preceding game, something doesn't seem right.
Look at the third achievement (Hero) and you'll see that saving Lambert is a requirement to get the best ending.

Honestly, it's not a huge deal, but I worked hard to get that ending, so it feels slightly pointless now that the sequel doesn't follow suit.

Well, I see what you mean there. It is sad, because I had a freaking tough time not dying once I killed Jaime to save Lambert.
@Matjaž Hegedič:
Ah, I never played that one. When did it release?

Don't forget about The Beatles Rock Band or Brutal Legend.
Beyond that, though...

I hear ya, and totally support your bitching. It's been way too long since my last dose of Fisher.
I'm starting to go through withdrawls. If only they could bottle the awesomeness of Chaos Theory and sell it as a drug. Mmmmm, gettin' high off of stealth.

Not as excited for that as everyone else seems to be. Never could get into the original. It was too repetitive for me. The sequel looks very cool, and I'll probably buy it, but it's not day one for me.

I'm really hoping Crystal Bearers hits before xmas, that and SMBWii are what I'm placing my hopes on right now. If that doesn't come out, I've got nothing to ask for

I know stuff keeps falling into the Q1 time frame, I just wish stuff would keep falling into Q2 so that summer wouldn't be so boring, you know?

Activision: "Due to some development difficulties, Modern Warfare 2 has been delayed to early 2010."
Publishers: "So...uh...Who wants to go back to 2009?"

October - Brutal Legend
November - MW2, Assassin's Creed 2, L4D2, and whatever little gem I discover along the way. Plenty of bang during what will be a busy semester in grad school for me as it is.
