The toughest thing about being a responsible adult gamer is when there's a bunch of awesome games that all come out at once, and you've got to pick out which ones you're going to dedicate your time and money to. This year alone we've had Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, Final Fantasy 13, and a bunch of others that I'm sure I'm missing because I'm old and forgetful now.
Now, I just bought my PS3 last October after the price drop so I could get my hands on all those must have exclusive titles, so I've been kind of playing through some older games. While the rest of the world was playing Dragon Age, I was playing MGS4. While they were playing Modern Warfare 2, I was playing Uncharted. The first one. Yeah.
So here's what things currently look like for me. I just finished Dragon Age, with none of the downloadable content, about a week ago. I then picked up Uncharted 2, and played that for the last week (I don't necessarily agree with Adam Sessler that it's the best single player experience I've ever had, but it's certainly a great game). Now that that's finished, I've started up on Final Fantasy 13, only a week after it came out!
Unfortunately, there's some casualties from playing these older games now. I've pretty much written off Mass Effect 2, and Bioshock 2, even though I was a big fan of both of the originals. Sitting on my "need to play" stack are now Heavy Rain, and God of War 3. I'm not so sure how smart of an idea it is to start up such a long game with a couple other shorter ones waiting in the wings, but I guess I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.
