Well it better be. Man, 2008 was a rush huh? Great and crap shooters alike came out in fury along the Spring and Fall periods like a flow of cresting waves. But that was 2008 with its Far Cry 2, Fallout 3(counts as a shooter to me), Left 4 Dead, and whatever else that blew our minds. This is officially 2009 and let us go with optimism and consider the next line of shooters -along with more posts. Later we can review the awesome line of 2008 games.

PC: Battlefield: Heroes, Borderlands, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Shellshock 2, Wolfenstein, RAGE.

PS3: Chronicles of Riddick, Medal of Honor: Operation Anaconda, Killzone 2.

Wii: The Conduit, House of the Dead: Overkill.

XBOX360: Call of Duty 6, Section 8, Bioshock 2, Dogtag, Dead Island.

Good, not many shooters may be coming out this time around. Which is very disturbing. At least the market is not going to be “oversaturated” as the econs would usually about FPS releases. Well I could see some of these titles possibly not meeting the standards of gamers and some hopefully blowing some minds. Other than that it will be the year of Killzone 2 making the PS3 the formidable console it should have been earlier. A year where id Software will take the next leap as it did earlier with the Quake engine evolve the genre. A year where the Wii will see its first “core audience” targeted shooter.
