Wow, what a difference a week makes. For the last month, we've been positively saturated with new game releases. Many of them have been good games too, injected into us like so much delicious turkey-flavoring, making us nice and tender. Now, it seems the game industry has gorged on a little too much turkey itself, inducing a deep sleep and a week off from the tedious process of releasing new games. Yes, it seems only History Channel: Battle for the Pacific opted for the ham instead, as it is the only Xbox 360 game releasing this week.
Allow us to suggest (as does Joystiq) that you crack open your (hopefully) metaphorical game refrigerator and scrounge for some leftovers. Maybe you could warm up some Mass Effect or cut yourself a slice of Assassin's Creed. Just look at it this way, you're stuck with leftovers, because Mom isn't cooking anything for at least a week.

I'm all about CoD4 right now. I just discovered I'm, shockingly, good at Team Deathmatch. Free-for-all.... not so much.

from what I can see we're entering into a relative 'new game drought' that will last at least all of December...
which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I've got so much to catch up on.

Well, at least there'll be no distractions to push me away from my quest to find Rock Band.

I've got 3 games and some achievements in Halo 3 and CoD4 to mop up, so I am fine for a month or two.

Eh, i am full for at least 2 months as there are many games i have yet to buy and got whole Mass Effect pretty packed, waiting to be unwrapped in my cupboard. Need to do a few assassinations first.
Then there is Blacksite, UT3, Kane and Lynch, etc that i will be playing soon. Already playing Crysis and Gears for PC.

@ 8. Good luck with Benezia! That bitch drove me crazy. Got to her at about level 12 or 13 and it took me HOURS to kill that ho! Beating her was great though!!

@12...well I'm fortunate enough to be a level 28 with roughly level 5 weapons/items equipped on each character. (By weapon level I mean the roman numeral that comes after the weapon/item name...aka Scorpion IV, Scimtar V, or Stiletto V) LOL I have a feeling it won't be that hard ;) :P
Notably more I have advanced throw, 1 away from Master Warp, and have my Spectre Training FULL. I'm waiting to DOLE OUT the hurt on Benezia. ;) :P

@14 probably because they stole the image from their not-as-prejudiced-overlords Joystiq

Not to be a dick, but if you're going to steal the image from Joystiq, at LEAST put a 360 game front in line...
This is X3F after all, not PS3F...

Hey Xeno I just wrapped up CoD4 on Vet this past weekend, omg that was tough I wanted to kick babies. I don't think I have the stones to keep trying the bonus level on vet.

@bravo6, last night I did threesome of mission that ends with "No Fighting in the War Room" and that one part just before you get to the blast doors , man oh man, i must have died like 40-50 times and was /this/ short of throwing my controller. pretty annoying those guys in the hallways had fuggen amazing aim and shot you dead as soon as you peek your head around the corner
at least these are achievements I will really be proud of =] the total opposite of Avatar:TBE:TLA
