December Futures IPO schedule

It's time to introduce the games for the month of December. Many of the titles for this month are carry overs from November. Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (Xbox 360) (submitted by djhellboy87 and Joe80) and Timeshift (PS3) (submitted by kspraydad) will also have global lifetime sales stocks making a debut. All of these games will also have Metacritic Futures to accompany their NPD Futures IPOs unless a Metacritic Future for that game is already listed.

NPD Futures, Metacritic Futures, and stocks will debut in a two phase IPO. IPO Phase 1 is a 48 hour period of trading without automated market making to determine the IPO Phase 2 price. Advanced trading mode is required to place orders in IPO Phase 1. After IPO Phase 1, the futures contracts will enter IPO Phase 2 in which the bid and ask prices will be fixed all day.

Update: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3) has replaced Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (Xbox 360). Kane & Lynch will still be listed as a stock and a Metacritic future on November 5.
