15ish on average. This year I bought, let me see, 8 games for the PS3, 1 game for the 3DS,2 games for the wii, and 2 games for the DS, oh and 1 game for the PC.

So that makes 14 for the year.

I'm glad to see you never stop. ;)

I usually invest in around 10 games a year. I mean, PS3 releases so many exlusives annualy, hard to keep up. Oh...and yeah, multiplat here and there.

Probably C. It entirely depends on whether they are new releases, because I like to pick up older games as well.

More the 10 usually.

A few in the first quarter, a few more in spring, some in the summer, then when Fall comes out I get the most.

I tend to get a lot of older titles for Summer, during Steam sales and at Gamestop for the Summer droughts.

New? Somewhere between 5 and 10. I get around 20 or 30 older titles through Steam sales and whatnot, however.

If we ONLY count games that came out on said year, then maybe less then 10, just maybe.

Last year I got Mass Effect 2 PS3, LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, Portal 2, Gears of War 3, Dead Island, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. So exactly 10, not counting all the titles I rented (like Bulletstorm).

Though I had a few of those as presents, so maybe like 7 I actually buy.

I only bought 2 games last year. (Skyrim and Super Street Fighter 4 arcade edition) I don't really have a need for more games. I have over 70 games on my steam list and about 15 other boxed games. I'm content for now. I plan on buying a few more this year (Mass Effect 3, Bioshock infinite and CS GO) but I have better things to spend my money on besides games.

Full retail games? About 3 or 4 per year.

I usually only buy non-linear games packed with content, and rent linear games with 6-15 hour single player campaigns.

But this year, things look like they may be different.

Buy:

Final Fantasy XIII-2

Mass Effect 3

Starhawk

Dragon's Crown

Grand Theft Auto V

Dragon's Dogma

Rent:

Bioshock Infinite

The Last of Us

Max Payne 3

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

Hitman: Absolution

The Last Guardian

Ninja Gaiden 3

Prey 2

DMC

Holy moly. Are you guys collectors? Or do you like to replay your games?


I usually only get 1 or 2 games a year.

There are so many games that I wanna play, but I know I'll only play them for a few days (considering how short campaigns are these days), so I just rent all my games.

The only games I buy are games with a lotttt of hours (Long RPGs).

pretty much around 18 games per year.

I Really love gaming as a whole ^^ a healthy amount, which usually amounts to something like 12 games a year for pc (one new game per month, altho I sometimes buy a good chunk of them at the steam summer and x-mas sales.

In addition I tend to buy around 6 console games per yeah, or 1game every 2 months.

Ive laid my portable gaming on ice for a whileso no games for those.

Man, a lot you guys are no-lifing losers. Who in the hell buys over 50 games a year and has time to play them all?

Move out of your parent's basements and get jobs and social lives, you socially awkward nerds.

Well then I no longer have respect for Sonic 2. And what is Forza? That limited GT imitation? I'd rather play the original GT than suffer through a pitiful happy meal imitation.

1. Primitive western taste. GT is too complex for the ocean of casuals.

2. PD only does perfection. We are a long ways from realistic damage physics so why bother?

3. Some of us enjoy CONTENT.

4. Again, maybe for casuals.

5. Maybe you should actually play it.

6. Premium cars.

7. Opinion.
