Do you own any of them?

End of the year is historically when the big new titles are released because they sell better.

Got about 10 of these due to the other half. I’ve only played Skyrim through. I’d consider Hitman Absolution given that Silent Assassin is on my well loved-well played list but there are lots of others on my gaming to-do list.

The only one on that I list that I have is Mass Effect 3. I’m also thinking to get Halo 4 eventually.

Well, many gamers buy games they would like even if they don’t have time to play them right away. I used to do that before I decided not to buy new games before I’m done with what I have already. Now I’ll buy games early if I suspect they’ll be hard to find later on or if I really want to play something that just came out and I’m expecting to devote time to it in the near future.
