Grumpy Gurevitz: Overload!
2009 according to many, was a light year when it came to ‘big’ and quality releases. This perception is mainly due to the latter half of the year being dominated by Modern Warfare 2. However the rest of the year was alive with interesting, high quality and fun titles for all the platforms.

FFXIII has been hit with a fair amount of criticism, despite selling well and receiving good review scores.
