News: Some big games are coming after the first of the year.
With 2008 almost in the history books, it never hurts to look to the future. Video gaming has always been an industry that's about "what's next" and it looks like "what's next" in the first few months of 2009 is a pile of highly anticipated games.
Could this be the final holiday season where most of the major releases are backloaded into September through December? It could be if this list is anything to go by (I'm especially excited for House of the Dead: Overkill in February):
