I don't think I'll get Reach, or any new game for that matter, save for GOW 3 next April (I want to see how they end it). I'm trying to phase out video games. I'm 25 years old with a wife and a baby on the way, unfortunately it's time for me to grow up.

My brother in law graduated from college with an accounting degree, is a CPA at his accounting firm, at the same time he is a full time teach at a university. He too has a wife and a new born baby, and he is getting Halo: Reach. BUT, if you just don't care for the game, that's understandable, but seeing how your avatar is from Halo 2, it seems real stupid to say that its time to "grow up". And you are only 25, stop acting like an old man.I do like Halo. I also have a college degree and well paying job. I'm not dogging anybody who still wants to play video games all the time and buy all of the latest games. Believe me, I wish I were still 17 so I could do that too. I just have other responsibilities and priorities now, and spend $60 on a new video game can't be one of them.
I still play UNO on XBL all the time, and also use Netflix a lot. So I'm not "giving it up" entirely, but I am starting to phase it out. Just because I'm phasing it out doesn't mean I can't come on these boards and comment on games. I'll still keep up with the industry.
I just don't understand what age or responsibility has to do with anything. Gaming is like reading books, watching films, watching tv, and i doubt most people give those up due to age. Its understandable if you don't have the time, but if a person has free time available, no matter what other priorities they have, the point is its their free time, so they should spend it anyway they want. If a person doesn't have free time for 1 year, doesn't make them not into gaming, they've just been busy.
I don't see how phasing out gaming aids anyone in growing up. Why phase something out if you've got the time for it and enjoy it?
I know 50 year old Cops who love playing games
