It's a bit weird how they don't include all the platforms for the multi-platform releases. Call of Duty is also coming out on the 360/PS3, Mirror's Edge is also coming out on the PS3, Prince of Persia on the 360 and PS3....

Looking at the list one would wonder why anyone buys a console.

Agree with Gord Lacey.

How is 2K9 on the list, when every reputable review seems to give the nod to NHL 09?

especially since the Wii version is garbage.
