Sure, it&#8217;s already the second week in January, but considering most folk are only heading back to work today, the year only really starts now.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from February we&#8217;ll be returning to your regular weekly release schedules &#8211; but seeing as January has virtually no games to look forward to after a massive Christmas season, it&#8217;s the perfect opportunity to look ahead at what awesome titles we can expect in the next few months.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll note that Diablo III is missing from the list &#8211; while speculation is rife that the Most Anticipated Game Ever\u2122 will be released sometime soon &#8211; a March\/April window blurs the lines between Q1 and Q2 of 2012, and that would totes ruin the headline.<\/p>\n<p>As is the nature of the industry, some of these titles will suffer delays, slips and hiccups (and you can be sure you&#8217;ll read about them right here on MyGaming) &#8211; but let&#8217;s look at the biggest games that have been dated in the first quarter of 2012.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">January<\/h3>\n<p>The Sims 3 Master Suite Stuff<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30329\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
