Games in my play queue (I actually own them) that I wish I could get time to finish:
- Bioshock
- Fallout 3 (I’m from DC and want to see how they represented the city)
- Mirror’s Edge
- Mass Effect
- inFamous 1/2/Festival of Blood
- Uncharted 2 and Golden Abyss
- Thomas Was Alone
- Guacamelee
- Gravity Rush
- Call of Duty 4
- Ico
- Shadow of the Collossus
I really own all of these games. But at my age, with two daughters and a wife, a busy job and social life I have virtually no time to dedicate to any of these. I was lucky to finish Limbo since it’s on the PS3 so I need to monopolize the television. Sound Shapes was easier to complete since I could drag that Vita anywhere.
I’m starting this blog to document how a man in my position in life finds the time to finish games, what kinds of games he wants, what are the hardware choices, and why play games at all. I keep having this discussion with myself so I am now opening it up to you. Hope it works out for us.
