This is just silly. After a quick flick through the pages of Play.com’s upcoming gaming releases, these are the titles I reckon are worth playing for the remainder of the year:

Little Big Planet, Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance 2, Fable 2, Dead Space, Far Cry 2, Midnight Club LA, Spiderman: Web of Shadows, Saint’s Row 2, Fallout 3, Quantum of Solace, Silent Hill, Gears 2, Endwar, COD: World at War, Mirror’s Edge, Banjo and Kazooie, Left 4 Dead, Tomb Raider Underworld, Mortal Kombat versus DC, Prince of Persia, Damnation

That’s £880 worth of games that’ll be worth playing released between now and the end of the year. We’re in the middle of an economic crisis, and the games industry decides that it’d be clever to release essentially everything in the last two months of the year. Muppets.

Here was me thinking of blowing out an MMOG in favour of playing through the numerous upcoming console games I fancied, when in actual fact it makes far more economic sense to stick with WOW or Warhammer in this time of crisis. Assuming you can eschew this flood of quality gaming.
