In some ways, the fact that no games are releasing for the Xbox 360 this week is a blessing. No, not for the general game buying public, but for lazy bloggers like us. It saves us the trouble of coming up with a cogent theme or drumming up some reason to be excited by the latest furniture varnishing sim (actually, scratch that, we would be totally up for a furniture varnishing sim). Hell, we even get to reuse the same image. So, um, nothing releasing this week. We are left with but one theory: with the GTAIV release date held in secrecy for so long, other publishers just crossed the month of April off of their calendars as a precaution.

If there is a painting or varnishing sim, two things come to mind:
1: Wouldn't that be custom made for Wii?
2: Isn't half the fun of being in a room where you are painting or varnishing going to be eliminated in a video game? (You know, sitting in the room, getting high off the fumes?)
2b: The other half of the fun is gone too. No
finished piece of work in/on which we can sit.
D: I killed all the fun just now with my detailed (unnecessary) analysis.

A week off from game releases is not necessarily a bad thing. A week without spending at least $65 is a-okay with me!

That's cool. Maybe I'll finally get to play Lost Odyssey this week. It's been sitting there in the plastic for over a week.

I need plenty of time to get the hang of Ikaruga so this lull is nice.
Back on the Dreamcast I thought I had Ikaruga down but after watching some of the top ranked replays I apparently have no idea how to play this game. Practice practice practice.

Two weeks isn't nearly enough time to catch up on all the games I'm trying to get done before GTA4, but it'll help a bit.

It's like the entire industry is cowering fear at the impending arrival of the biggest game of the year.
Sort of like... Just keep 'yer head down 'till she goes off and nobody'll get hurt.
