Seeing as there has not been a glut of news to talk about I will talk about the glut of games that I still have to finish at least once. This “list” of games that I still have to play does not even include the games that I have consistently been playing which are Left 4 Dead and Gears of War 2.
I haven’t touched Gears’ multiplayer mainly because I just cannot get into a game. Horde has been enough to keep me playing. Left 4 Dead is keeping me from playing Fallout 3. I’ll cite a specific instance: The other day I had at least four hours to devote to get back into the Wasteland but I ended up playing versus mode in L4D with friends. It was the most fun I have had with the game so far and I personally think that is saying something for me.
I feel like I have about 40 hours left to go in Fallout but that is just a rough estimation. This is the biggest game that I need to complete and after that I might be “on track” for the new games coming out in 2009. I want to be able to go back to Fable 2 when the DLC comes out but I do not think I’ll have beaten Fallout. I am also interested in playing “The Lost and Damned” DLC because I honestly think I’ll enjoy the return to Liberty City.
I am on a ticking timeline until Halo Wars comes out which will undoubtedly take up a lot of my time and will because one of my go to multiplayer games of choice. I have until March 3rd to feel as if I have played all of the holiday games sufficiently.
The annoying part of this is that I haven’t touched three games that I would like to play to completion: Mirror’s Edge, Dead Space, and Prince of Persia. I feel like at least one of these games is going to be forgotten for a while and I will bet that it will be Dead Space. Perhaps I could borrow that game from my little brother next time I visit my parent’s house. I am sure that would include trading one of my games for a temporary period of time, an idea I am not too keen on.
Honestly I am hoping for a slow gaming summer so that I can catch up because I just do not see how it is feasible otherwise.
It might sound like I am complaining about all of the games that I have to play but that is not the case. I just wish the publishers would space their games out so a person could actually give their game a shot.
As a last note I have not even touched my DS since I have been playing games again. I think portable gaming does go through spurts.
Next: Perhaps a blog entry that is somewhat news related.

Gears 2 is going to need a complete overhaul to be a viable multiplayer game. With COD4 and COD5 and Halo 3 having near-perfect multiplayer, Gears 2 had better step up to the plate to be a long-term player in the market.
I completely agree with you. I have not got into a matchmaking game as of today and the only multiplayer session I had was arranged among friends. That was fun. I again, like I said, have been enjoying Horde greatly. Let me know if you want to play some time. Include Left 4 Dead in the invitation if you have it.
Thanks for the commment. Talk to you soon.
