I recently purchased Mass Effect and, due to Christmas, I received a copy of Assassin's Creed.I played Guitar Hero 3 for the first time (my first experience with any guitar game, period) and I am thoroughly addicted. I'll need to buy that one later...

On top of that, my World of Warcraft addiction - while currently not an issue - is going to be stirred again with the release of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. A certain gift card I received over the holidays is going to allow me to aquire the wireless keyboard/mouse combo I need to experience computer games on my 42" LCD TV.

So now I have two games to beat, a guitar to master, and an OrcWarlock that needs to hit level 70. All before the next WoW expansion. Hopefully I can pull it off. Who knows, being able to finally play my pc games on that huge screen may push Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed back. Besides, who wouldn't want to see Azeroth like that? It blows my mind...

Oh, and even then I still have Halo 3 multiplayer to worry about, and I am considering creating a safety on Madden '08 in the Superstar mode. What else...

I guess NFS:Most Wanted is worth pusuing, but it is a dated game at best (regardless how fun it is, Pro Street deserves the attention if I am going to invest in a racer.

Grand Theft Auto IV in all of its splendid online glory is going to absolutely rock. My free time for the next year should be pretty much spoken for.

What is a gamer to do? Step one begins tonight: complete Assassin's Creed...
