You?

Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption, and starcraft 2.....

not really.... the end of this year is looking real strong too if you own a 360.

EDIT: and you have a bad company 2 icon, and you are complaining about multiplayer games this year?

Yes. I don't know if it's me just getting older or lack of innovation in games these days but I'm really having trouble playing games for a sustained amount of time recently.

No, I've probably played more because I have such a large backlog.

That's only one game and while fun it lacked staying power once i unlocked all the weapons i lost my interest only reason i played as many hours as i did was because my clan plays it.

Complete opposite situation for me. This year is the most I've gamed in probably 6 or 7 years.

Yes, but because of lack of time, but still, there are tons of great games this year.

I played a lot in the Feb-May period but the game drought that occurs ever year during the summer causes me to play less and less. Instead, I've been exercising a lot and getting in shape so when October starts and I MIA for the rest of the year since I'll lock myself in the basement I won't come out as an obese, pimple faced nerd that breathes heavily through my nose after walking short distances

Yes, because I'm mad busy. Not due to the lack of games, there's MORE than enough to keep me satisfied at this point. When I had nothing to do, games seemed scarce then though. Funny.

Yes. Maybe I'm getting older? My thought process says "Gaming is a waste of time, but spending two hours every other hour throughout the day online doing nothing of worth is less of a time waster, so do it!". Maybe I'll swap it and play games when I'd usually go on the internet..

No, I would have to say it has been business as usual for me. It is about to pick up rather significantly as well.

I have actually played more SP games this year, though my actual playtime is roughly the same. Last year I spent a majority of my game time in MP due to the lack of good SP player titles, this year is the exact opposite for me. This year has been amazing.

I'm sort've the same I played more games this year but only 5-6 have been from this year (2 were rented from Gamefly) the rest of the games I played are from a couple of years ago they were from steam games like Audiosurf, Portal (Free), and Thief Deadly Shadows those were all from Steam the only new game I got on steam was Alien Swarm.

I've been playing a lot more actually. There have been so many good games this year, on a variety of platforms. The world doesn't need more MP heavy games.

Yes, but that's because i'm on the last leg of my tattoo apprenticeship and have next to no time for anything else. There are SO many games i have yet to have the time or money to play :(

I have been playing less but it really has nothing to do with gaming rather the lack of time that is causing it.

Yes! Games are becoming increasing worse every year and sadly the number of hidden pc gems that i love also seem to be decreasing! But Amnesia should take up some of my time!

Exactly the same, 2009 was the pinnacle of my gaming... Loved playing UT and CoD had plenty of hours put into them but now i'm more interested in SP due to MP being horribly unbalanced and patches coming months and months late.

I'm playing them a lot more than I was for the majority of 2008. That was just a weak year in gaming I thought.

yes. its due to a very busy schedule and me being on a low budget and not being able to buy any new games.

I've been playing games less from this year. I've been doing more old games myself (mainly on my PS2).

I've been buying a lot less; but there is a game coming out next week that has been the recipient of hate among Gamespot Users. As for playing, I'm playing just as much as ever. My collection's pretty small, and that does not bother me.

Not at all, more than ever before.

I suppose if all you care about is multiplayer that's a big deal but single player always trumps multiplayer and there are plenty of games to satisfy that.

Yeah i have been playing less.

Reason?: I just can't be bothered anymore. I've got a huge backlogue and no desire to play them at all.
