2009: Dull Year for Gaming - Peter Molyneux

Eh, Peter's nuts.

But the author of the article is clearly an idiot, and a console-only gamer.

surely one title will make its way to the PC that will captivate audiences the way Crysis did during 2008. And maybe the iPhone will play a bigger role in gaming, thanks to the App Store and its relative popularity. But is that really all that we can look forward to?

Epic fail.

Umm hello?

Sims 3 is comming out next month and no doubt it will be the best selling pc game of 09.

And what about diablo 3, Empire: Total War, and Guild Wars 2.

I cant believe he honestly thought 2008 was a good year for gaming.justheretodl124

I don't know that Molyneux might not have a point.

I play MMOs, and I've been looking for the next one for about six months now. Tell ya what, everytime I put it out on these forums, "What MMOs are looking good and are coming out soon?", all I get is *crickets*.

Prove me wrong. Do I have anything to look forward to in 2009?

Thats just one genre though - he is speculating that ALL of gaming will be dull and empty. Do you have the new WOW expansion?biggest_loser

Well, MMOs are what I play, ya know? I'm playing WoW now . .. revisiting it after like 5 years, and frankly it's alright. Solid, refined gameplay, even though it's a little too easy (two level 67s after only 33 days?), but it's not going to make my final cut because the social aspect of the game (a big part of why I play this genre) is lacking a lot at a fundamental level.

If it wasn't for the social aspect, well, I'd just continue to play single-player games, right ?

Had the highest of hopes for Age of Conan last year . . what a let-down that was . . .

2009's titles just don't compete with everything on this list. Sure there's a ton of good games, but 2009 just doesn't have this many major hitters.

While early 2009 is shaping up to be a marvelous period for fans of the rts genre fall however is looking to be very rubbish to be a PC gamer.OoSuperMarioO

With StarCraft 2, Dawn of War 2 and Empire, 1009 is gonna be a pretty good year.thusaha

They had gaming PCs back then? Oh, how our technology has regressed.

Apart from all the great games coming this year for PC we 're even getting Burnout Paradise.

A new racing game for PC.It's a dull year for my money!

this dude must be clairvoyant

1 week in 2009, 51 weeks left and he knows what 2009 will be in 2009
