It's a week (and by all indications a month) to go through and whittle away at the pile of games you've been meaning to get around to playing. It's going to be a little while before there's a big game back on the list to talk about.
Assuming Evolve holds to an early February launch, that may be the next we can really talk about a major release here for the Week Ahead. That's not to say there aren't smatterings of interesting things coming out in January. Grim Fandango, for example, is getting a remastered release at the end of the month, and GTAV lands on the PC. Saints Row IV gets ported over to the PS4 and Xbox One, and the second expansion for Dynasty Warriors 8 lands stateside.
As for this week, if you've simply got holiday money burning a hole in your pocket, I'd be far more likely to suggest you dive into the ongoing Steam Sale. Today's deal includes Tomb Raider for $3.99, which is an insanely great price-to-game-quality ratio. Also, Divinity: Original Sin is 33% off its normal price, and is probably going to end up being my Game of the Year.

Basically making pile progress myself whilst getting over an illness. I'm ready to close the book on 2014 and move on to 2015.

Guess no one thought my joke was funny.

Hey, I finally officially clicked the thing to get SimCity 2000 for free yesterday, rather than closing it and going straight to DA:I.
Words... are a big deal.

Fixed that for you
And wow, you're not kidding about January (even though I'm looking forward to finally playing Grim Fandango)
And Ubisoft is re-releasing Heroes of Might & Magic III on Windows and tablets that week too.
I was all set with a FTFY follow up joke about Humble, but my internet crapped out!

Yes, you can cancel Darksiders, but only by using your Sony Golds. Which, while pretty good, aren't a patch on Zelda.

The Nintendo consoles don't even get bolded in the OP anymore.
