This week essentially marks the end of the big new-release rush for holiday 2009. Sure, new games will be released in the coming weeks, but they're generally games that publishers don't seem to have an awful lot of confidence in. There there, you don't need to get upset about it or anything. We still have games like Assassin's Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and the God of War Collection to keep us busy through the dry spell. And don't forget that Q1 2010 promises to be loaded with a ton more. On the DLC tip, Nintendo is releasing a bunch of free demos and Sgt. Peppers is hitting the Beatles Rock Band. Also, another Twilight movie is hitting theaters. I think this one has a mummy in it or something. Who knows.
