kitik Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Just curious, why is the game starting with April 26 instead of with Iron Man 3? If you want to push it into April, it seems like Oblivion on April 19 would be a better choice than April 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
