2009 is at an end, as is the decade that came to be called the naughties. It’s been a good 12 months for gamers, although not for the gaming industry. We recently unveiled the GOTY for 2009, but it’s now time to look forward to 2010. And with the games due out in the next 12 months, I certainly am.

One of the reasons as to why the game is so popular is due to the care Infinity Ward puts in to making the games as accurate as possible from the settings, scenarios and weapons. However, it seems like this may not completely be the case for Modern Warfare 2.
It feels as though we’ve been waiting in eager anticipation for a Final Fantasy VII remake for years now. And it probably has been that long. It was almost a year ago that I asked whether this most-requested game would ever actually become a reality. Maybe 2010 will hold a nice surprise in store.
