So for about $20 today, I got two games: Braid and Geometry Wars 2.

I know people bitch and moan about nothing good coming out in the summer months but both of these games are incredible.  I expected to love Geometry Wars 2 since I loved the first one but I didn't expect to love Braid.

So now it's summer and for about $20 (or is $25?  I already forgot) I have two incredible games that are going to keep me entertained for a good while.  If I do manage to get bored of those somehow I even still have FFIVDS and the newly trophy supported Uncharted to back me up.

agreed, PJ Eden is amazing.

I honestly think summer is one of the better times to buy video-games. School-kids are getting off for the summer, picking up summer jobs and what will they spend that money on? Games most likely if they are a gamer.

My opinion on the worst time? Janurary-March. Right after Christmas, you've got PLENTY to keep your mind busy. I never buy games during those months.

Summer is the best time to buy games, but problem is, you're kinda stuck looking forward to titles that wont be out til fall, when school's in full swing and you dont really have time to play.

Like me, personally, I'd love to get my hands on, say, LBP or Resistance 2 and play right now than having to find time for them during school.
