WTF Publishers?

Games I want that are coming out between October and Xmas:
The Orange Box, The Witcher, Call of Duty 4, Supreme Commander:Forged Alliance, Unreal Tournament 3, Assassin's Creed, Contra 4, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Blacksite: Area 51, Crysis, Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back, Mass Effect
Games that I'll actually be getting between October and Xmas:
The Orange Box, Crysis, Mass Effect.
All the rest will have to either be Xmas gifts or wait till they hit the bargain bin. Who can afford $600 worth of games in 3 months? Are publisher retarded? If one of those games came out in February in the post Xmas lull when everyone's wallets were stuffed with gift cards and holiday cash from grand parents, they'd clean up. But no, apparently the only people who are allowed to set release dates are the ones missing the most chromosomes.

FA+

Seriously, if they're releasing a game for school-age demographics, release in May or June, so it'll be fresh when the kids are starting summer vacation.
i feel pity for censoring it in US version, and i dont mean the cards.
Well haven't gotten Mass Effect yet, just pre ordered. Still wishi could be getting Assasin's Creed and Kane & Lynch but those will have eto wait.
Now poast moar bawndage.
Also, if you haven't heard it enough times, Orange Box is a great deal. I would get it myself if my computer could run the source engine.
taspring :T
PS: OMG you live!! Have ya drawn anything? I am trying to draw furries lol, check out my "scraps" if ya wanna good laugh Dyno.
Meh, I usually buy games a few months after the curve anyway, when a game is fresh the quality of folk playing it is kinda low(TF2 *cough*)
There are even several other games that I can't remember right now that will be out before xmas and some just a month later.
Oh yeah, Kane and Lynch, Army of Two... etc.
And at this point you couldn't pay me to play WoW, what a damned time sink. Well, aren't all games, but MMOs are the biggest offenders.
I have the same problem... I just got OB, Tabula Rasa, and Command and Conquer 3, and I still need to get a 360, Ace Combat 6, Halo 3, Neverwinter Nights 2, Blacksite, Crysis, Mass Effect, and a few other games that I can't remember the names of off the top of my head. They're not big ones, but they look entertaining.
Way to go Holiday Shoppers. :P

As for the games themselves - Currently working on: Assassins Creed & Tabula Rasa.
Hellgate: London was a disappointment and I burnt out on it VERY quickly. Its sad , the game had soooo much potential.
