Overwhelmed by “Too Many Games” — Coping Strategies?

[Veknoid_Outcast]

This is the eternal problem with video game fandom. A movie buff, over the course of a long weekend, can watch all the Oscar contenders; a video game enthusiast, meanwhile, needs a whole month to finish a single RPG.

I would advise sticking with a certain platform, or perhaps with several genres and franchises. Or find a game critic whose tastes align with yours and use their recommendations to guide your purchases. You simply cannot play them all. There are not enough hours in the day.

Now, I am being fully hypocritical right now, because I still aspire to play all the great games — past, present, and future. But I know, deep down, it is a doomed endeavor.
