I still can't keep up with LJ, I'm not on the internet enough I guess.
My game addiction has been pretty crazy lately.
I played through We <3 Katamari a few weeks ago and beat Shadow of the Colossus last weekend. Currently though I'm addicted to Dragon Quest 8 and I love it. I think I've spent about 20 hours on it since I got it about a week and a half ago. Old school RPG loving. Playing it at times reminds me of my childhood where I spent every weekend alone with my best friend Super Nintendo. Also I'm nearly done with Psychonauts which I've already spent about 12 hours on :O (I heard that game was supposed to be short), I started that a couple months ago though. Psychonauts has such an awesome story line and art style.
Yargh I also started Fable: The Lost Chapters, which I think would be more exciting and enjoyable if I didn't already know what was going to happen (I played Fable all the way through.)
I've also been playing my DS on the bus again. I got pretty hooked on Mario Kart DS, but after putting in all the effort to get one star or higher in all the missions and then having nothing happen (get unlocked) I'm not playing as much. Although I still have to beat 150cc and so on. I'm still playing Trauma Center and Lost in Blue a bit too and I think I may want to return to Advance Wars: DS at some point.
I still have a lot of other games I need to play. I haven't even broken in my Neogeo Pocket Color yet. I'll find the time at some point. But Animal Crossing DS is coming out pretty soon. Also as usual I have Ninja Gaiden Black wanting to be played as well as a few other games.
Really I don't think my game addiction is so bad. I purchase on average 2 games a month. (I did purchase 12 games last month but 10 of them were very cheap and for the NGPC) I mostly just play on the bus or on the weekends. I do feel like at least 75% of what I talk about now is game related. But I think it's acceptable because I make games for a living.
