Bungie will rule 2012. Why, you ask? Bungie is genius. How? Saving off until a 2012 Fall release for their new IP. Bungie knew how big the games were in Q4 of 2011, they want us to enjoy these great games by going dark and having no involvement whatsoever so by the time we play all these up and coming awesome games, and the wow factor has eventually settled down, Bungie will appear out of nowhere and make a huge scene. First weekly update after the "dark ages" will turn up around December-January with a welcome back and an explanation of their involvement in 2012 (possible announcement OR ARG, with an official announcement a month later?) From what I've seen, only a few slightly decent games have been officially announced for 2012, opening up Bungie's big chance at the kings of 2012 gaming. Expect Bungie to bounce back and be a household name next year.
You heard it hear first.
