I'd have to stay I'm actually pretty stoked about the prospects of 2009. Although it doesn't have as many "anticipated" names like GTA IV and GoW 2, I think there will be some very solid games. Champions Online looks very promising and Jumpgate has the potential to be a nice break to the same old MMO formula.

You're only saying that cause you love to wear tights...freak. ;-)

One thing people need to keep in mind is that there is a real lack of PC exclusive games here, which certainly could turn people off. But GDC will see some announcements, as well as E3 in June. Comic Con is more about showing near-complete games than game announcements.

But you said I look "delicious" in tights. :-(

I definitely agree with what your saying exclusivity of the games. Playing the demo of FEAR 2 which is cross-platform I noticed they took out leaning which seems like a "dumbing down" of the game for console use. I can only hope the lack of quantity in PC games will be balanced by a boost in quality. We'll just have to wait for Dawn of War 2 and others to see if this holds true.

This July, why don't you come down to San Diego where the REAL Comic-Con resides (lol). There were several games there last year, most notably a playable demo of Ghostbusters (looin' good).

Dragon Age was there, but they only had 2 machines running it and Bioware was swamped the entire time so we could not get any time with them about it. I'm working on getting some information about for you guys though, rest assured.

Wow, 2009 is looking like a bad year for gamers. The only game in the whole preview that I'm definitely going to buy is MadWorld. Everything else...meh.

Comic Con is not a dedicated games exposition like E3 or PAX. The games that are there are just games that will be released in the coming months (with the exception of a few titles like DC Universe Online). You will probably see the real start of 2009 gaming with E3.

Nice article, Yoda! ^^
