Was it RACE Pro? That's the only game I can thik of coming out in January. In other news, I may buy the new NFS:Undercover, if it gets a half decent review, I'll pick it up, I loved Most Wanted.
But they are supermarkets and only had about 20 copies per store, so it was kinda gay to those who didn't want to go at midnight. It's the kind of BS supermarkets pull to claim that they are the cheapest places around, but before you know it, it will be back up to £40 or even £50. CoD4 is still that price because its one of the best selling games going, even a year after it's release.
Also, download the demo of Mirrors Edge, it's just the training and the prologue, but the game later on is really something special, the sometimes you get chased, sometimes you chase, gunplay is pretty minor and for the most part optional.
