For me this spring will be amazing.  I have preordered The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and hope to get MLB 2K6, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, and of course Gears of War.  These will easily keep me occupied until '07.  All of these games look to be games that will top any launch game for the Xbox 360.  And my birthday is in late Feburary so I am pumped.  The sad thing is, I do not think that there will be any major (or remotly good) games released until November and the holiday season.
