This is what a barren launch week looks like in the middle of summer, with little to buy and play and plenty of time to check out the deals offered by Valve during its Steam-based Summer Sale and maybe play some titles from the back catalog that any serious gamer has.
The same launch desert will be with us until the middle of August when the big publishers are ready to launch the big titles of the year, starting with Darksiders II and Madden NFL 13 and going until the late fall release of Halo 4 from 343 Industries and Microsoft.
