I have an issue with how games are released. The game series that I play are Halo, Call of duty (for zombies mostly), Assassin's Creed, GTA, a little Gears of War, and Madden. Excluding Gears of war which I dont even have the 3rd game yet, all of the other games are set to be released from August-December, which presents a problem in terms of purchasing as well as time to play them to the full extent.
Madden always comes out in August due to the NFL season starting in September, which obviously makes sense.
Halo has always come out in September, now November for Halo 4, fine.
Assassins Creed moved their release date to October, which was smart.
COD is coming out in November.
GTA is rumored to come out in December.
Thats $300 I am eventually going to spend on these games. I understand they are trying to compete against each other, but wouldnt it make more sense to release a game at a time like this, where absolutely nothing is going on in the video game world? Its going to take a real long time for me to play these games as much as I'd like.
