Year in Review Intro

2009 was a remarkable year for the game industry that saw numerous game studios shut down while smaller independent studios made a name for themselves with exciting debut games. It was also the year that E3 returned to fill up the massive Los Angeles Convention Center like in previous years...and the year that E3 was taken by storm by motion-sensing controls and by a couple of guys who used to be in some British rock band called "The Beatles," or something like that. Follow the biggest news developments of the year with GameSpot's Year In Review, complete with links to major news stories and a timeline of major events.

    And 2009 is the year which I brought the most games ever. Companies are failing because of management and lost of creativity mostly (hence why Nintendo gained + the reduced costs). Cut the CEO's salary and I guarantee reduced losses.

    The PSP Go is gonna suck. If I want to download my games onto a portable system, we already have that: It's called a laptop.
