So, I bought 16 games (11 of them were from the previous year though) in 6 months, and I have 15 brand new full price games I want in the last half the year and easily half of those will spill into 2010 to keep me entertained, just like the last half 08 games are keeping me entertained in early 09. Honestly, I don't see how you wouldn't be able to keep yourself entertained unless you truly have a very narrow range of genres you enjoy, or you bought the wrong system.

So there, I just posted a completely usesless post that was mostly for myself to see what I've bought
