With 2009 now past,and seeing how I'm the only semi-sober Australian based Dtoider near a computer and my bottle of Suntory vodka is slowly emptying, it seems fitting to look back briefly at 2009, before realising that 2010 could be even better. 2009 was the year of the Q4 exodus, though some brave souls like Dragon Age, Borderlands and Left 4 Dead 2 stood against the behemoth that was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It was the year of motion controls beingunveiled by Sony and Microsoft, a year of unsuccessful boycotts and some awesome games that came out of nowhere.

Now 2010 is here and it's time to look forward at what's to come and what surprises may be in store:

May we find time in Q1 to play all the fabulous games that will be released...
May Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 not be a rush job...
May Valve not announce Left 4 Dead 3....
May people still remember how good Bayonetta will be when it's time to give out the awards for GOTY 2010...
May we all go to PAX this year. PAX!
May Sports Sarkar please, please play Portal.....#goddammitsamitplayportal
May Retro-Force Go! refrom, refreshed for a new decade...
May jhitcher42 continue to be the coolest 14 year old Dtoider...
May the Aussie Dtoid group get it's shit together so we can party!
May Bec make me one of her special cakes!
May the newly engaged Princess Megatron have a great year....
May Zombielifecoach ask that pretty blonde girl out...
May zombutler get over his January Jones obsessions...
May you all have a drunken, sloppy make out session with the person you find yourself attached to come midnight...
May Niero, Hamza, Collette, Jim, Topher, Anthony and all the Dtoid staff have a great 2010....

and finally, may you the Dtoid community have a blast, play videogames and have a damm good time doing it....
