Busy time for a full time gamer

Second year university, work on weekends, and far too many new games coming out that I want. It's a busy time for a full time student, part time employee and full time gamer. In the last week I have purchased 5 new releases, starting with the most recent, Katamari Damacy (PS2), Star Wars Battlefront (Xbox), Sly 2: Band of Thieves (PS2), Guilty Gear XX #Reload (Xbox) and Fable (Xbox). Where do I find time to play them all, well, it's a good thing Star Wars Battlefront and Guilty Gear are mainly for online play (at least for me) and can be served in small doses. Although what I intend to be a small dose of Battlefront turned into 2 hours last night. Next Katamari Damacy from what I've heard is a short but very fun game, I haven't had the pleasure of playing it yet, actually because I just got the call from EB Games that it is in, so I'll be trying that later today. Everything I've heard about it is good, and with it being short I should be able to fit it into my schedule. Sly 2 I also haven't played yet because I just haven't had the chance yet, but I really enjoyed the first one so being able to fit it in should come quite easy. Fable I'm about 5 hours into, some people say they have beaten it in 7 hours, but I highly doubt I could pull that off, I spend much time in the game exploring and not just going from quest to quest. It will probably take me somewhere around 15 hours to complete. Although I am very busy, I always find time to sit back and enjoy some new games. Between classes, assignments, studying and work, I always make sure I squeeze a good 2 or so hours playing games a day. This is only the start of the title flood that marks Q4 (we aren't even in it yet, still at the end of Q3). At least I have about a month until San Andreas, and about a month and a half till Halo 2, and then Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metroid Prime 2 a week later. Tether yourself down, this has only just begun, and although I don't have much free time, this season is gaming bliss.
