i have the same problem. i'm currently playing: okami, no more heros, mario kart, pikmin, and smash bros for the wii and still haven't finished RE:4, mecury meltdown, super mario galaxy. and then i have professor layton, yoshi's island, chocobo's tale, contra4 to play for the ds.

and with games like fable2, too human, animal crossing, spore, force unleashed coming out soon.

still trying to find a wii fit. haven't gotten around to metroid 3, lost winds, ugh. sometimes i think about getting a ps3 and then i have to remind myself what's the point. i can't play everything i want on my wii/360/ds as is.



I have the problem of buying games and never getting around to them. I have a back catalog of over 80 games that goes back all the way back to the psone. The problem is working full time(40-45 hours), the drive to and from work (1.5-2 hours), spending time with family( wife and 2 kids and my parents live three buildings down from me), hanging out with friends, I'm at the movies every week and do the 3 movies from blockbuster online, I spend at least two hours online each day reading about new games that are coming out, and I play basketball for 2.5- 3 hours three times a week. If that's not bad enough my favorite types of games are rpg's which take a while to pass. All this yet I keep buying new games every two to three games, I just can't help myself and keep saying to myself that I'll get around to them when I have time.



I got the same problem. Im just keep on buying games, and games, and yeah, Games. But later on i actually start to playing like a gamer. Sometimes i wonder if i might be more into read about games than play them.



I normally don't have this problem as I typically beat a game before buying another but I currently have

To Finish
* Okami
* Mercury Meltdown
* Mario Kart Wii (get Golds and 1 star on all classes)

To Start
* Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
* Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
* Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros Treasure




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I only have this problem when all my consoles and handhelds release games I want close to each other. Sometimes I even forgot that I own the game and brought it twice...



I am exactly the same, bought "recently" - GTA4, MGS4, MKWii, WiiFit, Okami, Boom Blox, SSBB, Rock Band, Radiant Dawn...

All I've played is MKWii (too good), WiiFit, Rock Band (drums rule), GTA4 and a tiny bit of MGS.

I came to the following conclusions:

1. I'm throwing money away...

2. You're never too busy for a quick Rock Band or online MKWii

3. Organisation is what I need! I have therefore decided to play GTA4 all the way before launching into MGS4. Afetr that I'll dig into Okami.

Moral of the story, I understand the "casual" gamer who just likes games you can pick up quickly and then put down just as quickly. Things that are much more difficult with games such as GTA, MGSand even Nintendo games (yes it's true)...
