Heh, I kind of agree with you there. In addition to the games coming out this year, I still want to play some of last year's releases; namely Alan Wake and Red Dead Redemption. Saving money is hard enough as it is, so I'll try to limit myself to only 3-4 games this year.

I think it's a GREAT thing! I have a list of games that I'm just planning on buying eventually. I can wait until most games come down in price before I buy them since there are so many good games out there.

Hey the good thing about missing a few games is you can see what great games turn out to be crap. There is nothing worse then hearing how good a game looks, seeing the video demo and thinking wow that's great then finding out the controls are comparable to QWOP, and the story is no more then a rehash of some 90's sitcom lol. So by missing a few you can get a better look at them just by seeing if they are still being played or if you will be seeing piles of them in the used game bin.

Not trying to give a plug to companies that let you rent games for long periods of time but they do help with giving you the chance to play without paying the full price of the game.

I have something like 15 unplayed games already, with another 20 or so I want this year. Plus a Kinect. It's ridiculous, but awesome at the same time.

I actually prefer having more games released than I can afford to play. When I finally get enough time to play through my already lengthy backlog, they'll all be at reduced prices. :D

I think I'll have to be getting Gamefly, this year's full of so much win.

Although nothing will keep me from buying Mass Effect 3, Gears of War 3, and Duke Nukem Forever.

So many games so little time, i seriously have had oblivion forever and have barely scrathed the surface with it. Now theres another one! Plus the fallouts the mass effects that take a while. So many game i have to pick up it rediculous plus the new ones coming out. Might just need gamefly. The good thing is with all the games i can pick them up cheaper after a while. Oh to be young again with all the time in the world, just not the money tho.

What about the DLC, it seems all the games have new maps or quests to play. That alone becomes expensive after a while. Oh well i will try and get through everything i want to and can do.

If this trend continues the 7th generation of videogames could end up the greatest Generation ever?

The fact that the market has so many good games releasing is good, It drives shops to put in place offers that drive down the cost and a great game for example Bad Company 2 might not appeal to some other group of people but it IS a good game.

Yeah, but it's been like this for every Christmas for me in particular :P. There are still many past releases I still need to get around to as well, including Alan Wake and Red Dead Redemption - Undead Nightmare.

Then, I also want BulletStorm, Homefront (might pre-order this one), WWE All Stars, Gears of War 3, L.A. Noire and random DLC for games... but to be honest I think it's a good thing as you will always have something to buy :).

Yea I'm a picky gamer and there is still a ton of games I want this year. Portal 2, L.A. Noire, Battlefield 3, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Dark Souls, Dead Island, and probably a couple unannounced titles.

There was a time when there were certain franchises that I just trusted, I would buy a game in that franchise no matter what. Now, that number of franchises has grown, and I just don't have the time for or want to spend money on all these games. Not to mention that I'm the type to branch out, quite often a new game intrigues me and I'll buy it. As gamers we have to rely a lot more on reviews and friends recommendations than we used to. Its a lot harder to take risks in my gaming purchases.

I don't have nearly enough time to balance school, sports, my job, and social life to play all the games I'm going to want this year. I mean a game like skrim alone is going to take you a whole summer!
