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.

    death12323... do you pay attention when you watch stuff? They clearly said, and you can read about this on any game site, that they were bought by Square and their being renamed.
