Maybe but there were some pretty big other releases out there too.

And more to come, I have no doubt. Nobody can ignore those impressive sales figures though.

I know I haven't seen anything I like more. Of course, this is the only new game I've played this year, but HEY! Ignorance is no reason for me to not make unqualified statements of approbation.

What else is due this year? I'm looking forward to Heavy Rain on PS3 but not as much as I was ME2. It's gonna take something major to knock Mass Effect 2 off the top spot for me.

Something like The Elder Scrolls VI could do it, but that aint going to happen
