So many games, so little time.
Sargonas \| 2:36 PM on 07.16.2008	2 comments

Every year as the fall season approaches, and everyone's holdout for the holidays fiscal seasons begin to roll out, I lament about the sheer number of games I want to play. Every year that list gets bigger, and I whine louder.

I had it easy.

Last year, I was such a baby, "Oh my god" i thought.. "there have got to be like, 7 games, I want to play between September and the end of the year, however will I cope?" If only I had known then what I know now, I would have kept my whiny ass mouth shut.

17... yes seventeen games are coming out the remainder of this year. 17 games, and those are just the ones I know I will be making time for, there are a good 5 or so off the wall ones I will be playing if time permits, which it looks like it will most assuredly NOT be. Allow me to recap.

Gears of War 2 (xbox 360)
Fable 2 (xbox 360)
Fallout 3 (xbox 360)
Spore (PC)
Little Big Planet (PS3)
Rockband 2 (xbox 360)
Too Human (xbox 360)
Left for Dead (PC)
Portal:Still Alive (xbox 360)
Lego Batman (xbox 360)
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise (xbox 360)
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (xbox 360)
Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway (xbox 360)
Saints Row 2 (xbox 360)
Dead Space (xbox 360)
Ghostbusters the Video Game (xbox 360)

I mean HELL! And they arent even spread out evenly on me. Most of them come in batches of two a week, with several weeks in a row at times. It's a damn good thing I have a 360 hooked up at my desk in my office, or I would never get though all of this. Not to mention a slew of XBLA games I cant wait to play/get, as well as the 3 updates for Burnout Paradise, including the new Island, and the fact I JUST today started playing Grand Theft Auto IV... and there is a bloody addon for it on the way as well.

I swear if I didn't work in the gaming industry all ready, I'd have to quit my job to get though all this.. fortunately I can blend the two quietly at work and no one will notice!

Shit I might have to cancel going to PAX in order to make room for all of... *smack* wtf is wrong with me.. not going to PAX? I have gone insane haven't I?

*sigh*

Maybe 3 will actually release.

I can safely say that at MOST there are 4-5 games on that list that wont make it out on time.. but that would be the very maximum. It's my job to be sure of myself on these things :)
