    Well he's got a point. Games do tend to be released in fall especially in pre-christmas time. For example there weren't any interesting releases (for Xbox360 at least) this and last summer. Spring is also popular forreleases but not as much as fall and winter.

    Anyway I can't wait to get my hands on
    - Far Cry 2
    - Fallout 3
    - Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising
    - Mafia 2
    - BioShock 2
    - Gears of War 2
    - Alan Wake

    and also
    - Half-Life 2 Episode 3
    - Splinter Cell Conviction
    - Crysis Warhead
    - Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway

    true... but most of the games are fall-born as i have noticed, at least the ones I play..
    GTA series, Fifa seriers, Need for speed...
    anyways, i do not care as long as i get the game before my system becomes outdated. lolz :D

    btw, too sad for this gang to be separated: :D
    Crysis, Bioshock, and Assassin's Creed. :D
    I used to see them as a whole group because they all have the best graphics and great gameplay.. now, Crysis Warhead and Bioshock 2 are to be released, while AC is left out.. :( :(

    You must admit that Assassin's Creed wasn't a gem of a game. I mean the graphics were excelent but the gameplay sucked. In the whole freeking game there was only one mission repeating itself for ages! Hope the AC2 will be better.

    Also interesting is that there are THREE Tom Clancy games due out in a similar timeframe (Q1 2009 most likely).

    I agree... it does start to get boring after a while due to repeating the same missions. but the graphics will always attract me to the game. :D

    Games are released in fall typically to be top of mind for the holiday season. Plus summer time is NOT best for selling new games because most people are out and about in the summer too.

    I wish it wouldn't matter. But either way, unless a game is primarily multiplayer, I tend to wait and buy it later cheaper when there's nothing else much available.

    Anyone ever play America's Army, it was the **** when it came out 6 years ago. AA 3.0 is supposed to be out by the end of 2008. It's getting a face lift too; they are using UE3. Just hope it doesn't get pushed over into 2009.
