Anyone else plan their gaming schedule so that they don't get burned on playing a genre?

[SSJGohan3972]

I get burned out sometimes on particular games but not really genres, although I've found I'm peculiar in my gaming habits - I replay the same 10 games or so at least once every year and can play several games in the same franchise and/or genre in a row with no problem.

For instance in anticipation of Fire Emblem: Awakening releasing I played Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones (on the 3DS VC) and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn (on Wii) and XCOM: Enemy Unknown (kinda the same genre) on the PS3 (which I'm actually replaying now) - those were just in Jan/Feb.

Right now I'm replaying the Pokemon games in anticipation of Pokemon X/Y (did Yellow, now doing Crystal, then I'm gonna do Emerald, and Platinum and maybe White 2).

I also plan to replay at least Zelda: A Link to the Past before A Link Between Worlds, not sure if I want to do WW HD, might get it and play it just before the real HD Zelda comes out).

I also planned to try to play the first 9 Final Fantasy games this summer but haven't really had time and just spent my vacation playing Pokemon so that'll probably have to wait until next year (that's quite a time sink) The Fall/Winter is when I usually play newer games - already plan on 1st day purchases of Wonderful 101, AC IV, Watch Dogs, Pokemon X, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (that's quite a few for me).

I do the same thing with movies, tv shows (watch entire runs of 7-10 season tv shows over the course of a few weeks), books (recently reread all the Ender's Game/Shadow books when I heard about the movie coming out), etc. as well.
