February 2, 2009 - With the holiday season not even in the rearview mirror any longer, the Game industry enters a period where triple-A games are doled out with less free psp games frequency. Only one or two major releases often dominate a month -- and that would be free psp games  considered a good month, too. February's headliner is undoubtedly Capcom's Street Fighter IV. But that's still on the horizon. What about the games coming out this week?

We asked which of this week's game releases you were looking forward to most. Just shy of 30,000 readers cast ballots. Here's the breakdown:



 





  • Afro Samurai (Multi): 14%

     

  • MLB Front Office Manager (Multi): 3%

     

  • DJ Max Fever (free psp games): 2%

     

  • Nobunaga's Ambition: Iron Triangle (PS2): 1%

     

  • Coraline (Multi): 1%



    And then...



    I don't want any of them: 80%






It's a tough week for gamers, apparently. The vast majority of you cast votes of indifference toward this week's release slate. Granted, this is not a week of triple-A games, although Namco Bandai-developed Afro Samurai is not necessarily small potatoes. It features top notch voice talent from Samuel L. Jackson and art direction that mirrors the stylish animated series it's based upon. But only 14-percent of you placed it as your top "get."



The race for the bottom was won out by Coraline, despite the movie getting tremendous buzz for its pedigree (Neil Gaiman wrote the book and "Nightmare Before Christmas" director Henry Selick directed the movie adaptation). Perhaps it's the family focus of the game that turned so many of you off?

So, are the games themselves keeping you at arm's length? Or are you tightening your budget and being less willing to buy games you are less sure you'll enjoy 100-percent? Hit the comments section and let us know.
