It's a louzy period of the year for us gamers. There are very few hot new
games coming out and it's reflected in the Top 100. The top 5 has been
stuck for weeks now, and this edition is the first without any new entry
in the Top 100. But within a few weeks this should all change. There is a
tremendous amount of new software waiting to be released on us. You can
read about it in Game Bytes and the paper magazines. I expect it will be
like exposing the Top 100 to a hurricane. Let's wait and see, and hold on
to your chair.
Jurgen.
