SO many games, what to do?

With the copious amounts of good games coming out for systems like the 360 lately, how do ya'll find time to actually beat them all? Every time i start a new one, another new one comes out right after. I feel bad dropping a game quickly to go onto a new one...however i want to play the new one while its still in its prime.

I don't buy them all, in fact I only own a handful of games that I really like. Some happen to be older but they are still the best.

Hitman
Halo3
Fight Night Round 3
GeoW

I only buy about 5 or 6 games a year tops. I have high standards so i only buy the best of the best.

GTA4, NG2, MGS4, Gears2, Fable 2 (maby), are probably the only games i will get this year.

you dont have to play every game that comes out right away. if i have a game on the go ill wait until i finish it till i play another one regardless of when it was released. if i have no games on the go ill just wait for a new one to be released while i try to get some achievements in a game i already have. no need to rush to play every new game as its released, they stay on the shelves for a long time :D

the games i will most definatly buy this year are .... gears of war 2 -xbox 360 the sims 3-pc gta4-360

Rainbow lasvegas 2 -360 gran turismo4-ps3 and call of duty 5 if its out in 2008

IMO the only games that really want to be bought soon after release are ones with a lot of multiplayer content. If a game is mainly or only single player, then does it really make any difference whether you buy it at release or 6 months later?

I buy most of my games after they have been out a while, and do try to stick with them until I have finished it before moving onto the next game. That's not to say I don't buy games at launch, as I got PGR4 on launch day, COD4 and Mass Effect within a month, and have GTA4 on preorder for launch day.

yeah I know what you mean, I still need to beat: Forza 2, COD4, RBSV2, and I got Tony Hawk and Gun cheap during Black Friday and I still havent opened them yet and Im getting Mass Effect from my friend, and I am in the Battlefield beta so there is no time oh and the new maps for Halo 3 wow Im ganna have no time

I mean look. Currently just beat Frontlines and am really addicted to the multiplayer. However, im also playing DMC4 and i want to start playing CoD4 again (campaign and multiplayer). HOWEVER, i want to get Rainbow 6 vegas 2 and im even interested in Bully if you can believe that. Theres also a whole little list of games that i want to get to that had to be pushed aside as new games rushed out.

AND ABOVE ALL, GTA April 29th. So much to do, so little time.

Whats the secreoozybear

I like to focus on one game at a time when it comes to single player campaign or story mode. I dont appreciate a game as much when I have too much on my plate. One time, I purchased Oblivion, The Orange Box, and Rainbow Six Vegas, and I couldnt really focus my attention on one game. I couldnt really get into because I was already thinking about the other new game! Now, I prefer to purchase one great game at a time. I'm very particular with games that I choose. I'd like to think that I have a good taste in games. Not to mention, I'm a graphics whore. As for me, I do research on the game I'm interested, read previews, reviews, watch vids, think it over, then make the pre-order or purchase. Games that I rent never get a purchase from me. So I prefer not to rent my games. I look for great deals, used copies, promotional sale, Ebay, or wait a few weeks for a price drop. When you love to play videogames like me, you need to watch what you spend. Find good deals, and reap the benefits of your favorite games. That way, you wont be shooting down baddies in Las Vegas (R6V2) and have to think about the $60 you just spent (for a 6 hour single player). Those are the things I keep in mind. And just to share, videogames that I am interested in but I have yet to play or buy are Condemned 2, Dark Sector (pre-order), and I would like to re-buy a copy of Lost Odyssey. I loved LO, but I sold it for some crazy reason I dont know. I will purchase it again. Thanks for reading, thought I would share.

I liked lost odyesey a lot :D and there goes the new Tales of Vesperia coming this year i think, Call of Duty 4 is great, of course Gears and Bioshock are good too, and let's not forget foroza 2. Man there's a lot of good games shoot there's also the xbox live arcade >

For me lately it has been a pretty smooth ride, usually as soon as I finish one game, a new one is released I am interested in and not before that. Granted, I am just about to finish Army of Two and I was hoping to save cash and not have to get anything until GTA, but R6V2 seems like a fun game (I enjoyed the previous one) that I am sure I could get into so naturally I am itching to get that even though I want to have one month without buying a new game. But I am probably too much of a gaming addict to let myself do that, haha.

But even if there are a ton of games released at the same time, I tend to buy the whole bulk of them at the same time, but as a previous poster said, it is quite hard to get into either of the games then because one is so focused on thinking about the games one is not playing that it can get a bit tricky. But I still enjoy opening a box full of new games.

I have high standards so i only buy the best of the best.

MasterNinja49

same, i only buy the top name games. i own:

forza 2, assassins creed, orange box, halo3, cod4

this yr i will buy:

Fable 2, BF:BC, GTA4 and gears2

i spent a year spending most of my time playing SVR 2007, thats one of the things that started to build up my games list. I'd see new games coming out, buy them...play em a lil bit and go back to smackdown.

I was really addicted.

games you should have...

gears of war(!)

bioshock

halo 3

mass efect

devil may cry

call of duty 4

and you can go for a while :-)

i just don't rush. i don't care if i get a game as soon as it comes out and not play it that much till later on. the thing is (i know it's weird) that i like knowing i have the games and that i can play them whenever i feel like playing them. i'm not going to force myself into playing the game i just bought but that's just me. pick up the games you're interested in, add them to your collection and play them each when you feel like it.thecobraholder

that's not weird, i do the same :-)

lol i kinda want to buy rockband to.

1) I want to buy any game i want
2) I want to finish all my games

3) I want to have a lot of money

4) I wish all 3 were achievable
