Well, here we are again, right before the big holiday rush of new video-game releases, and as I was preparing myself for the hours I'll be wasting in front of the TV and the nice chunk of money I'll be shelling out, I realized I still have a substantial backlog to go through, and by substantial I mean more than a dozen titles I still haven finished.

How the hell does that happen you ask? well, for starters, I'm married with children, so free time is now a luxury and not a certainty as it once was, also, sometimes I start playing something and then I get "swept away" by the next big game and I forget all about it until... yes, you guessed it, the next big game.

Maybe I'll just hit my backlog and finish a few of those old games I have sitting around before I start buying new ones, that sounds like a money saving proposition, doesn't it? because by the time I get around buying some of those new games, chances are they'll be available at a much lower price, and who doesn't like saving money these days? more money means more games, and more... and more... bwaaaaaaahaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaa!!!! er... uh... or maybe my problem is more serious than I though.
