It sure is! The only problem is with my plate full I find myself reluctant to try out smaller, quirky games that are flawed but still fun like Deadly Premonition. I almost skipped Prince of Persia but my love
of Sands of Time convinced me to give it a spin. I'm glad I did, it's just like the old games but with HD graphics and bigger environments. And I love that there's no bloated open world to traverse like in Assassin's Creed 2, POP is cuts right to the chase: Enter room, navigate room while dodging traps, solve a puzzle, fight a bunch of dudes, rinse and repeat. At least so far, I hope it maintains the quality throughout the entire game.

Every year seems to have some good top notch titles. This year does seem to get closer to critical mass of awesome though. If only these f'n companies could space them out on a month to month basis instead of holding them all back to the holiday season. Then it'd be perfect.
@norm9: I agree, every year does have top notch titles, I'm still playing MW2, Uncharted 2 and Flower. But I can't remember a year that had this many outstanding titles by June. It does suck we have to wait for the holiday season before the big titles return, but at least it gives me a chance to catch up!
Great first blog and welcome to Destructoid!!
Yeah, there have been some pretty decent games released this year! Actually, it's kind of funny, but our expectations seem so high nowadays. I remember way back that for the Dreamcast or even the PC we were lucky to get one or two really good "blockbuster" type games released each year... nowadays it seems that we get so many really great games that we rather take them for granted a bit.

@Elsa: thanks for the warm welcome! I remember back when I had my N64 you could count on 2-3 great titles a year and I was happy with that, you're right we do take great games for granted now. My problem is I'm quick to abandon a game if there's something I don't like about it. I gave up on Fallout 3 after a couple hours because I didn't like the shooting mechanic. If there weren't a million other great games I would've stuck with it and I sort of wish I wasn't so picky because I've got many friends that absolutely love that game.
