s another year comes and goes, it’s kind of sad in the video game world for a few moments.  It’s actually quiet.  All of the big holiday titles from 2003 have shipped.  There’s not a lot of massive news, few announcements, and generally a small amount of game releases.  But that’s only for a few brief moments.

2003 was a great year in gaming, and 2004 is waiting in the wings to rock gamers' hearts around the world.  You better get busy and beat all the games you got this holiday season because it won’t be too long until the heavies come out in 2004.

Game Informer Online takes a look at the big name titles for each respective console, and gives you a general idea of when they will be released.  We can’t guarantee that each game will release when we say they will, because as you can tell by history, games change dates all the time. 

We decided to leave out the games that will be hitting across multiple consoles, and focus on console specific titles.  But even so, there’s some serious multi-platform titles about to grace which ever system you favor, including Call of Duty: Finest Hour, X-Men Legends, StarCraft Ghost, EA and ESPN Sports franchises, Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude, Lord of the Rings: Battle For Middle Earth, Spider Man 2, James Bond: Everything or Nothing, Driv3r, Mafia, NFL Street, Star Wars: Battlefront, and a pile of other games.  It’s actually pretty scary - and we're not even close to E3 2004 yet.

So without futher ado, here are the links to the games that await you...

PlayStation 2
GameCube

Xbox
Game Boy Advance
