I wonder if the same sort of thing happens to gamers with more specific tastes than mine. Like, does an Oblivion fan fool around with Borderlands sort of half engaged while waiting for Skyrim? It's hard for me to judge because I like a wide range of games and the problem I always face is deciding which ones get my time.

While we ponder this and other grandiose questions, here are the highlights from today's video game news on the Shack:

• Battlefield 3 Teaser Trailer and First Details Arrive
• Fallout: New Vegas 'Dead Money' on PS3, PC Feb. 22; Future DLC Hits All Platforms Simultaneously
• Report: Remake of Original Halo Coming This Year
• Extended Resistance 3 Trailer Features Dark and Dusty Residential Action
• InVersion Hands-on Impressions
