You're missing VanQuish, Super Meat Boy, Rock Band 3, Pac-Man CEDX, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Dead Rising 2, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, NFS: Most Wanted, Gran Turismo 5, and Fable III. TFUII and Epic Mickey were disappointments (you can hear about Mickey on this week's Bombcast and catch roughly the same opinions that everyone's throwing around) and LBP 2 and, like, two other games getting pushed back to Q1 next year.
Last year's holiday season wasn't as notable with MW2, Uncharted 2, ACII, L4D2, Demon's Souls, DA: O, and NSMBW, I don't think, considering both CoD and AC released new games this season too (that are potentially better than the previous title, depending on your taste.) September last year had ODST, I think, but that was pretty much the only major release that month.
I'm guessing by your titles that you only have a 360. GO BUY SUPER MEAT BOY AND PAC-MAN! To buy both games is only $25 (SMB at $15, Pac-Man CEDX at $10) and they both have excellent demos that you have got to try. Also try the VanQuish and Enslaved demos, both of which are really excellent tastes of those games. Dead Rising 2: Case Zero will be another good demo at $5, balancing out your XBLA total to $30 so far. As for NFS and Fable III, there are no demos, and if you've never had a Rock Band game before then you won't have the controllers; thus, the demo for that game will not help you.
It's not like great games didn't come out every month this year already.
