Shacknews have reported that during an investor's conference call, it was revealed by Take-Two CEO Ben Fender the publisher's big hitters, BioShock 2, Mafia 2, Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3 would all be arriving in the first half of 2010, though none would land before the end of the Take-Two financial year, which ends on January 31.

June 30 was cited as the clear end of the reviewed period for potential release leaving the first half of the year (post Jan 31) their launch window. It's a fairly long wait for those of us keen on any and all of these, but at least it means there should be some quality releases filling the usually dry period of January-June.
