I remember a time, when for the games that really interested me, I could pretty much play them all, get the most out of them and then quite often I'd be waiting months for the next big thing.
This year it has been an avalanche of "Must Have" games, and many of these get sold well before completion.
Why sell unfinished games? I think it's the promise of the "next big thing" and places like this where each new game gets super hyped, and I find myself thinking of the future instead of today.
Well it has to stop, or it will ruin videogames for me.
So my new years resolution to be selective with games, and just accept that I can't play them all.
I've been travelling lots recently and I played and completed "The Simpsons game" on my PSP. It's a 7/10 game, and as such in todays "AAA" world, it could easily be ignored.
But 7/10 means it's a good game. (Let down with sloppy control issues and camera problems on occasion) It is also reminded me of another important factor for me in games. I like to beat the game! I finished it on the plane back, and it just dawned on me.
Stop buying games you aren't going to play. Reduce your shopping litst and get the most out of the games you buy. (Assuming 7/10 and above) and don't forget that no matter how much other love certain games, you know your own tastses and there is little point signing up for a 99 hour stat whoring adventure when you have 8 hours a week to play.
