<p>It&#8217;s a new year and this one has got to be better than the last one, right? So what games are you starting off the year with? January is typically pretty barren as far as new releases go, so it&#8217;s an excellent time to catch up on that growing list of games you&#8217;ve been meaning to get around to. Did you pick up anything tasty in the recent Steam sale? Do any of this month&#8217;s Games with Gold on Xbox Live wet your appetite? Perhaps you find Sony&#8217;s January PS Plus games delectable? Either way, what have you been eating, er, playing? (Man, I&#8217;m hungry.) Let us know, in haiku form!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve been playing:</p>
