So, the first month of this totally backwards year is in the books. This was easily the best January we've seen in a while, and it's only the beginning of an unusually huge group of Q1 games. Worth noting: Despite ranking second in the listing, Mass Effect 2 set the record for best January launch. Mass Effect 2. It released in January. That's crazy.
