So many games, so little time!

All summer long there was a drought, a nearly unbearable drought. Not of water, but games! The games that quench my thirst for hand-eye coordinated enjoyment! "What are all the developers doing?" I thought.

Well I'll tell you. They were all waiting to release everything they had this holiday season. This may have been great for marketing and sales; however, this was horrible for me and my fellow game junkies. When you are compelled to purchase all the good games being released, regardless of their timing, it can put a serious dent in your wallet when the stores are flooded with them all at once. The worst of it is yet to come.

Once you get all of these spankin' new titles home; what now? For the normal nine to five zombie, there are only so many hours before you are in your wheeled cage on your way back into indentured servitude. This was the question I was faced with and I almost had a meltdown!

Then the disciplinarian in me took over. Like a mother forcing her child to stay at the table until he finishes all his potatoes al gratin; I was forcing myself to finish all the games I had purchased until I could excuse myself to buy more. With having to fulfill forty hours a week at my job and participating in holiday activities narrowing my window of opportunity to play, this task should take me a while... at least until the next good releases in January!

So peppered among my posts I am going to throw in reviews and experiences with these games.
Here's a few I'll be going over: Metroid Prime 2, GTA 2, Halo 2, Need for Speed Underground 2, Nintendo DS, Metal Gear Solid 3, and more.
