No competition with CoD:MW2 is a solid enough reason. Another one is that, with the recession still going strong, budget to purchase games during an already expensive period will be limited, so a lot of people will cherry-pick their choice among the most popular franchises (and that includes the ever-present annual-updated sports games), leaving good games racing against time to bargain prices due to low sales. Just remember how quickly big names like Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia or Far Cry 2 got discounted last Christmas... PS The 2009 list Phychotext mentioned above, along with GTA DLC, will be enough for me anyway ;-) I think it’s kind of wise to avoid rushing all your big games for the lucrative Christmas season, in a “not keeping all your eggs in one basket” sort of way.

Tourist trophy was another disaster. I took the first corner of a map and wiped out (no pun attended) got back on the track and felt like gravity was pushing harder and harder on my neck. That's the sign of true sucker guilt. and R2....can't even describe how much of a let down that was. yup it was the coolest game i had ever played for 9 minutes and 37 seconds before I realized I had been cheated out of my hard working grass cutting lawn money.

They should get the same amount of money no matter what... so it really makes no difference. Unless you're buying used or when it hits platinum, but that's another story. “Yea but I like to reward good devs with day 1 purchases.

I guess Ubi are going to put all their marketing behind that for xmas this year, that was their star game in 2007 after all, however I did well despite marketing last year :P Borderlands was off my radar for a long while, but the latest trailer seemed to show a different side to the game, I mean I didn't know they were going for the co-op RPG fans. Is it a big open world or what? Wonder if it's like diablo with guns or something. AC still this year?
