As we all know games usaully come out in a wave - When it's dry, there's nothing to play, however, when games do come out, thay come out in masses.
So instead of dealing with the question myself, I decided to share my thoughts with fellow gamers and scenres.
So how do we deal when so much playing material is available.
Do we play it one by one? Do we play everthing a little bit?
I'm sure some of you have their formulas of controlling the situation.

Thanks. and plz share.

BTW:
Myself for example, is torn between Conker, MOH:EA, BF2, and maybe even Batman Begins.

I find that its very rare that there are more than a few of what I would consider AAA titles released at the same time when it does happen though its generally for me a case of playing each title for say 1-2 hours getting a feel for the games then moving onto the clear favourite and playing solidly to completion GTA:SA was a recent example wanted to complete that before I even looked at another game same went for Splinter Cell CT. Silent Hunter 3 and Pro Evo 4 (on Xbox) stole alot of my time when they came out as well.

At the moment its a toss up between Forza, Conkers, Jade Empire (which I still haven't completed) and Destroy All Humans on Xbox plus Boiling Point, Battlefield 2 (when it hits retail) and the new free Rainbow Six 3 addon Iron Wrath.

When I find myself with maybe only the odd 5-10 minutes during the day to play I'll boot up an old PC and choose some of the oldies from the latest releases of the complete M.A.M.E romset rather than wasting 5 minutes on a game that I feel I need to spend an hour or so to get into.

Shelving stuff like MOH:EA, Batman Begins, Pariah, Capcom Fighting Evo, Juiced, Bards Tale and Area 51 is fairly easy for me especially when I look ahead and see a fairly lean month releases wise in July Smile

Uhh lets see here.

Eternal Darkness
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Shadow Ops
The Longest Journey
Chaos Theory
X-Men Legends
GTA: San Andreas
Battlefield 2

Basically what I'm playing the most. The bold ones are the ones I usually play daily. Paper Mario I got for $20, Shadow Ops for only $2, and X-Men Legends for $15. Main reason why I bought them (although I always wanted Paper Mario but was just waiting for it to get cheap).

At the moment I'm playing;

  • Lock On
  • World War II Online
  • Il-2 Sturmovik
  • Football Manager 2005
  • Silent Hunter III
  • Tropico & ER (I've slowly rescinded on these two)

Is Lock On really as hardcore as I've heard? Supposedly it's insanely hard.

for me, im basically playing what i like the most... Working at home for my own company, its easy to find (or take) time to do this heh.

So before GTA-SA was released, I was playing SKOTOR2 for the second time (dark side), links 2003 online tournaments and some CS:S all these games on a daily basis, alterning work and games. Then I got and finished GTA:SA (took 3 days off lol) then Im back with links for now. Got BF2 today, didnt had time to try it out since I was playing real golf all day. If its good enough then I'll prolly take some days off to get my dose.

  • Paper Mario 2 (GC) A unique RPG, brings back memories of the old SNES classics
  • Call of Duty MP (PC) My favourite game, which I've been playing for a year and a half online now
  • GTA: San Andreas (PC) Playing this one every now and then, it just doesn't impress me like GTAIII and GTA: VC did


Battlefield 2 will be added once the private server patch is released, though I can't really play more than two games simultaneously without appreciating the gaming experience fully.

None. I spend too much time choosing which game I would like to play and end up without playing at all. Simply got too many games.
