6. GTA 4 Xbox 360 DLC is incredible

We've all heard both sides of this on-going fanboy debate. On the one hand Xbox fans are claiming the new exclusive downloadable content will make the Xbox 360 version of GTA 4 the only version worth buying. Sony fans obviously think that the new content won't be worth the digital storage space it'll take up on overpriced Xbox 360 hard drives. So should the new content turn out to be the best DLC ever to grace this new gaming battleground, you can bet PlayStation 3 gamers will be slamming the keys (with Caps Lock on) on their keyboard faster than what was thought to be humanly possible.

5. Halo 4 targets casual gamers

The wait for news on the next proper Halo release will drive gamers mad. After playing through the decent, but not amazing, Halo Wars and seeing new details on the unique sounding Peter Jackson Halo project, Microsoft announces Halo 4. The music kicks in at E3 2009 and sends shivers down the spines of everyone in the audience, but there's a surprise in store. Master Chief appears on screen, and he's holding a new gun. The perspective switches to the Chief and he's seen shooting down Covenant soldiers - the camera pulls back and he's in fact shooting at his TV. Halo 4 is a light-gun game compatible with a new Halo branded gun. Halo fans cry themselves to sleep for weeks.
