Only Bayonetta looks promising.
Not to be too negative but there's very little to get excited about there, as far as I'm concerned anyway.

I'm looking forward to AvP to be fair, I enjoyed the previous games on PC and an early 2010 release means I should have plenty of time to get into (and back out of) Modern Warfare 2 properly, other than that though i have to say I'm a bit dissapointed.

Bayonetta looks like someone ran DMC4 through a mincer then strapped some novelty breasts on what was left if I'm honest, it'll probably be fun to play but then so will the other dozen triple A titles that'll get released just before christmas. Planet 51 will inevitably be slightly turdish in nature given its origins and the less said about how much I care for the winter olympics let alone a game based on the event the better.

Sega need to sort themselves out, get on the phone with capcom and see just how quickly they can knock up a teaser trailer for Powerstone on XBLA and PSN, if they want any of my money in the foreseeable future that is.
