As Im sure many of you can agree - life is getting busy and more and more games are coming out each year. I know, for example, that I missed out on MANY early games and many eras of both PC and Console gaming and have unfortuneately come to terms with the fact that - Im really never going to get a chance to play those games and experience what many have considered legends of gaming.

I dont get it though - is there so many games because so many people want different types of games or because devs are trying to be different? Or is it because the money is just too good to focus on one thing at a time?

I mean, I myself have resorted at times to sticking with what I know has quality instead of flash. I almost wish I had more hours in the day to try out everything but now checking reviews are a must to be able to get your moneys worth and even then you cant be totally sure.


I wish we could go back to time where there were less games and more quality.

It's funny, for the last three years I've been wondering where all the games have gone. So I just play Counter-Strike. :P

"So many babes. So little time"...lol thats what your title reminded me of :P.

I am buying WAY too many games this year.

Shift 2, Dirt 3, Crysis 2, Deus Ex HR, Skyrim, Witcher 2, Battlefield 3, and many more just on PC. Then there is Skyward Sword, Uncharted 3, Mortal Kombat, MGS: Rising, FF Vs XIII, The Last Guardian, Tales of Graces F, and more.

I got 30 games last year, and I will get near 30 this year, and most are on PC, so I agree with you.

Time to get a 2nd 460 and 3.2-3.4 quad-hexacore.:D

I probably bought 50 games at least, in 2010 alone. Not bragging, it's kinda sad. But I have a huge backlog.. in which some of those games i haven't finished or even started - I must admit.

Can I come?! Steam has meant that I've been able to catch up on old games and pre-order ones that aren't even out yet! Its a competitive market!

I didn't buy that much.... but I'm in the same boat. I tend to buy games KNOWING I won't have time to even START them, lol.... I still have EGO-Draconis in the box (not even installed). Might sell that one on eBay come to think about it...

Currently after bulletstorm, i want to play gta iv and finish that.

But with the crysis 2 demo coming out and games come out shortly there after i don't know how i'm going to play everything i want to. Plus there is still the brother in arms, overloard series, and a very others i want to get to.

Atleast i will have stuff to play over the summer.

Looks like a few crowded months. Currently working out what games are going to have to wait is the hardest part. Sadly don't have the time to play through all games I want to. I will probably leave DA2 until later in the year when I get some more time to invest. I don't think I would be doing DA2 a good service playing a few hours a week.

It's been a few months since I played, but I have it installed. We're talking RP (or cops and robbers atleast) right? :P

I agree, too many. It doesn't help Steam puts them on sale. That's okay though, I play what I can, and if a game is crap or starts getting boring, I don't waste anymore time on it. I'm more of a sampler-type; I play bits of games for the experience but I don't finish many of them.

I pretty much always go for a new game as soon as I've finished the singleplayer campaign. There are only a handful of multiplayer titles that have really hooked me for a longer time. I prefer new gaming experiences over playing the same game, even if it costs me more. And I can tell you that it's never too late to play older classics. Thanks to Good Old Games I've played many classics I had previously missed. They are inexpensive and definitely worth a try.

I have a feeling Rift and Skyrim alone are going to eat up almost any time that I have for gaming.
