October, November are normally the months for the release of the big AAA PC tiles but, this year I'm not seeing any?
Battlefield 4 releases at the end of the month, Call of Duty: Ghosts in early November. Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag releases mid-November. Batman: Arkham Origins is the end of October.
Now that we're in the age of digital downloads and indie games, I don't think the conventional standards that used to apply still apply in the same way. In order to give someone a game for Christmas, the game could be released in December now and would still be on time, at least for PC games.
Sadly, as this is also the age of simplified (correction: "streamlined") sequels, I'm not excited about Battlefield 4 or CoD: Ghosts.
I think I have seen Joel Billings say there is a possibility of War in the West making it out in 2013 as well, which is probably as close to AAA as you will get with a wargame. :)
Edit: Never mind that, my recollection was a post from last year. So no idea how close WITW is to release.

See - saving Sgt Rock money!
oh boooooo, i missed off Wastelands II or did that get pushed as well?
Well they are not triple a titles. but over the last 45 days we seen a lot of strategy releases anyway.
Rome total war 2
Civil war 2
Command modern naval combat
Flashpoint campaigns
Dominions 4
seems like all the AAA titles are mostly first-person shooter type games which I don't play anyone
Wasteland II was indeed pushed back to 2014.

i did until early this year when a child called me a f**ktard and then i almost self made an anneurism chasing him round the map to teach him the error of his ways............. at 41 i still like to pretend im indestructable, maybe even will live forever, impervious to disease, but i cannot shoot 16 year olds on a PS3 faster than they can shoot me - at first it made me sad and then just too angry, my PS3 is now for netflix and playing blu ray dvds on, my FPS games in the corner remind me of the ultimate warrior i once was
my only good thoughts are that maybe when im really old and losing my sight i run over whoever that kid was

If these are the AAA tiles, I going to keep my money! I see nothing but, click, click games :-[
to be fair XCOM is turn based, but for 2013 i reckon youve had your grog games already
@Jarhead They just started having it for pre-order at various stores and now they're pushing it :P
@Gus Really? I've pretty much stopped tracking the game's development and just decided to patiently wait and be surprised by receiving it.

Football Manager, FM 2014, definitely isn't a click, click game, but then you have to be a fan of soccr and sports management sims :). That reminds me I should get back to my game of trying to manage Tamworth to promotion in Blue Square North.
I'm definitely down for BF4 and the XCom expansion. Perhaps they shall help pull me from my gaming funk.
Command modern naval combat
Flashpoint campaigns
are AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA at least for me ;D
and the Market Garden module by Battlefront is also a let's say: collectors item

Looking at the thread for the War in the West presentation at Historicon, Erik Rutins said they were planning for a release by the end of the year, so maybe it will be out for Christmas.
