I'm sitting here bemoaning the fact that there's absolutely nothing happening in the world of games right now when it hit me that I should be cherishing this time off. After all, the way it used to work was that the Christmas season was nuts, and then things were slow until at least March, but possibly even longer. How long until the craziness starts up again? Two more freakin' days. This Tuesday, Bayonetta and Darksiders release, and these two big-budget action games are just the start. Also coming up this month: Dark Void, MAG, Mass Effect 2 and No More Heroes 2, just to name a few. February looks just as packed, too.

So, which of these January releases are you looking to play? I'm focused on Bayonetta, Dark Void and Mass Effect. Hope you saved your gift cards, kids!
