Quote:
Well, it's that time of year again, kids. The yearly holiday rush is upon us and there's no better time to start planning out the titles that you, the intrepid PC gamer, want to play this season. With so many great titles available, both in traditional retail establishments and the increasingly popular digital download sites, it can be hard to know what to put at the top of your Christmahannakwanzaa lists. That's where your old pals at IGN come in. Today we're kicking off our annual holiday buyer's guide to tell you, the gamer (or the gaming gift-giver), just what titles to look for.
http://buyersguide.ign.com/2009/pc/index.html

there are SO MANY great games coming out between now and March that this summer will be spent playing games that haven't been touched at release.

This!
November is going to be rocking, if it isn't already.
Shattered Horizon, Dragon Age Origins, Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Assasin's Creed 2.
I just beat MW2 and it was epic, I have to find time to play through it again.

Mind if I ask how long (in chapters or hours) the single-player was?

On topic: I think I need to look for more info on Dragon Age, I've been ignoring it for too long now.

I'm finding it difficult to enjoy anything other than TF2 for the past 2 years.

I can't see that changing either...
