I fear I'm not a gamer any more.

I was just over telling cecil_oa how I have bought three Wii games in recent weeks, but got bored or haven't played them for whatever reason (Transformers -- sleepy, RE4 -- bored, Prime 3 -- haven't beaten Prime 2 yet). Then I remembered this was a bad habit started on the DS. Normally I don't get a new game unless I've ( Read more... )

all work and no play, games

I really enjoyed your TV show! I didn't realize how little I know about early game systems!

I don't play my Wii or 360 that often, but I'm looking forward to Halo 3, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl :3

Waiting on pins and needles for Smash Bros. For serious.

I'm a gamer, I play tabletop RPGs.

On a more focused note, I often don't have time for video games anymore either. Only over the summer, when I was living in my parents' basement with no job or school did I have time to finish KotOR and KotOR2, as well as playing though Jedi Academy and lots of D2.

Now, however, with grad school starting, and >= 40 hr weeks coming my way, I doubt I will have time for much more than a bit of DS on the bus. Any good, quick game suggestions for something like that, Orange?

i had much the same feelings for games as what you're having now... which is why i stopped buying games. the last thing i bought was puzzle league for the ds, and that's because i've been obsessed with it since the snes days. and erin and i get some multiplayer fun out of it. i rarely play it solo ( ... )

"And a cool feature? You can load up an SD card with MP3s and set them as the background music for the game. More games need to do stuff like this."

how about every game on xbox 360? hell, i loaded up 50 songs into my original xbox to keep Burnout from pumping EA trax into my brain.

as for unplayed games, I have Crackdown barely touched, a very early save on Dead Rising, and thought I loved Rainbow Six Vegas, I've not touched multiplayer. I'm on the verge of trading all 3 because with this busy fall, I'll not make it back to them, and could probably pick them up at budget price should I have time. in the mean time bioshock->metroid->halo3->orange box->mario galaxy->smash bros... and then play catch up from there. thats a lot of games and will keep me busy until spring even without counting the multiplayer and replay on most of those.
