Take-Two may unload on the first half of 2010 photo

Take-Two Interactive wants to dominate wallets in the first half of 2010. In a recent financial conference call, Take-Two chairman Straus Zelnick said that the publisher plans to release BioShock 2, Mafia II, Max Payne 3, and Red Dead Redemption after January, but before June. Zelnick would elaborate on the release schedule, pointing out that Take-Two is spacing each release by the month.

Good for them. We didn’t want to see Big Sister and Payne rubbing legs in February or whatever, either.

If plans hold -- and Zelnick expects them to currently -- this is a big deal. Take-Two wants to unload the equivalent of a Gears of War 2-style s--tload of Triple-A titles in a tiny and consumable span of time outside of the holiday season. More power to them if they make it rain dollars in 2010. We'll be buying, that's for sure.

So we now have two clinching points instead of one? I suppose it's a step, but I can't stand not being able to afford anything because it's all released at the same fucking time. Gah.

Yeah, suppose it at least it means I'll have time to finish Modern Warfare 2, Brutal Legend, Scribblenauts, Dragons Age, Left 4 Dead 2.....

I want all of those titles. But while I want Red Dead RIGHT NOW, it's nice to know I'll have some breathing room to finish the stuff coming out next month.

The biggest difference between 2K and Activision? 2K makes more great games. And even though they make great games, I don't think I'll be able to buy all of those, maybe two a most. I'm going to be busy playing online in MW2, Brutal Legend, L4D2, ODST, and Borderlands, maybe even more games if I can somehow find more relatives I don't know of to buy me games for Christmas.

I'm with Ali D on this and its okay by me. Usually, the holiday deluge of AAA titles causes me to hold off on buying everything because there are so many games I want and I can't afford them all at once. My wife also hates when I buy more than 2 or 3 games at once because she wants to finish one before buying the next one.

It's a good trick on her part because I usually don't end up buying all the games I wanted originally and we save some money...I lose out though. Oh well. Now the tables have turned. I'll pretend i'm just going along with her plan and I'll still get the games I want! mwuhahahaha.

This is brilliant. Far better than shoving everything into a two month holiday fuckfest.
