With DICE behind us, #GDC around the corner, and fan fests galore coming up beginning with PAX East, SXSWi, C2E2, EVE and WonderCon, I compiled this game release calendar for the rest of the year to help us track fan wikis, developer diaries, previews and trailers.  Watch for updates and let’s see who will top the $1 billion sales of Call of Duty Black Ops and the 1 million Facebook fans of Assassin’s Creed and WoWWiki.
