talked about titles that have recently been launched or will launch in the

new to games," said Ricardo Torres, editor in chief, GameSpot. "Given that
every penny counts in today's economy, we want to point people in the
right direction with this list of games from a broad range of genres that
are generating the most interest from the GameSpot editors as well as the
