Too.. Many.. Games..

I'm not sure what transpired to make this probably the most densly packed month for great game realses in memory, but it's almost staggering.

Already this month the following have been released:

Halo 2
EverQuest II

Those two games alone would make it a better than average release month (even taking into account my personal distaste for EQII). That's just the tip of the iceburg however:

Half-Life 2
Ghost Recon 2
Call of Duty: Finest Hour
World of Warcraft
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Staggering, and those are just games I have on my must play list, there are more coming out for sports fans and adventure junkies. The most obvious thing they (with one exception) have in common is the are all sequals. Luckily for the gamers and unlike movies, sequals are almost always better than the original. I only wish the spread was a bit more even, we go 8 months with barely a good release and then we get hit with enough hours of gaming to keep occupied until just about the time that 8 month dry spell comes around again.

Oh and for those keeping track that works out to about $500 to buy, and $40-50 a month to play (because EQII, WoW, and XBox Live! all cost a monthly fee)
