It's a well known fact that blockbuster games are held for for this time of year. why?
I'd like to think that its because they want us to end the year with a bang. But common sense tells me
that its all for the holiday shoppers Moo-lah. Point is, we get a smorgeshboard of AMAZING Titles around this time of year.
For example: Last Year we got Fall Out 3, Far Cry 2, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, etc.
This year seems to have upped the ante even more with titles such as Bioshock 2, Moder Warfare 2, Halo ODST, Max Payne , The Sabetour, Splinter Cell Conviction, etc.
One trend that I'm starting to love is the Collectors Edition of games.
You could argue that all the "extras" could come already packaged in the game, but these deals never happened before, and I'm willing to pay a couple extra bucks for it. [I'd like to know your views on the whole collectors edition thing]
I plan on reserving me some Halo ODST and Modern Warfare2 Next week. I advise you to reserve because 1. Sweet deals and 2. You will see a limited supply of all these games come release.
I'll Post up some of the pre-order Deals:
