The summer game drought of 2010

I was going through the new releases page on Giantbomb.com and saw that we got a pretty good stream of games going into June this year. We got that new Red Dead game, Alan Wake, Split/Second, Blur, UFC 2010, Alpha Protocol, and a Mean Girls game on the DS. Not so much that Mean Girls game, but I just wanted to bring to everyones attention that there are Mean Girl games still coming out in 2010. 
 
There is a good number of games that come out until summer, but sure enough they slow down as soon as june 20 shows up. But  I noticed something. This summer seems to have a decent line up.  July will have Crackdown 2 and Starcraft 2. Then August has Madden of course, along with Kain and Lynch 2, Metroid other M and Dead Rising 2. Don't get me wrong, there will be weeks where just about NOTHING comes out, but it's better. It seems like publishers are getting better at spreading there games out across the year. After December this year January and February had some big releases. I don't want to Jinx it but I feel like this may be the first year where the game industry says, "Hey, I bet if we put games out in the Summer, people will buy them!" 
 
Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to pay for all these games. And again, Mean Girls is still somehow relevant.
