We know how it is. You get up on Christmas morning, awaiting the game or games that you asked for and then your parents (or uncle or cousin or best friend) give you...a gift card or money instead. Their excuses are many; they couldn't find the game you wanted. They forgot what your game's name was. They got confused. So you are left with a generic way to get the games you really wanted.

But wait! Before you head out on the day after Christmas to start shopping you may want to consider another path. The truth is that there are a lot of major PC game releases that are due out in the first quarter of 2009. Publishers tend to release major titles during that time because their fiscal year ends on March 31 and they want their financial results for the year to end on a high note. The result is a glut of huge titles that you may want to save your holiday money to purchase.

Big Download has 10 examples of games currently due out during that time period that you may want to consider. Keep in mind that release date scheduled can and ususally do change so keep an eye out on our site for any delays in the titles that we will mention
