Changing Gaming Habits

Now that school has started again, I'm barely going to have time or money for games. Between work, school, my girlfriend, friends and working on my level design portfolio, I'm going to have very little free time. If anything, I'll get to spend maybe 5-10 hours a week on gaming. I'm thinking this might actually be a good thing. For once in my life, I can look at all the great games coming out and resist the urge to buy them. There are some games I'll definitely be getting like Dead Space 2, The Last Guardian, Mass Effect 2 for PS3 and others, but I can't pass on a lot of games that I would normally buy. I'm also selling games that I have in my collection that I've never even touched or that don't interest me anymore. I think I'll have a better collection because of that. I'm the kind of person who likes to own games that I like, but I'm realizing that just experiencing some games once is enough and I can't really justify a 60 dollar game if I'm only going to play it once. This is why games like Uncharted 2, Infamous, Fallout 3, Cod MW2, etc are staying in my collection. I regularly think back to playing them and have the urge to play them again. I'm happy with being a little more selective, and I'm sure my wallet will be too. I just hope I have at least some time for games this semester!
