Too Many Good Games

I never thought I would complain about this. In fact, don't even call it a complaint. Call it a very good frustration. But seriously, aren't there just way too many good games out there right now?

This past weekend I had some time to play some games and I sat down in my "Man Cave" and looked at the pile of games I had to choose from to play and seriously had no idea what game to play. Going into the holidays I was playing and finished

* Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
* Halo 3 ODST
* Batman Arkham Asylum

I'll give you my reviews on two of those games in upcoming blogs. Right after the holidays I played and finished (because it's seriously very short) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. So that just leaves for me to play:

* Assassin's Creed 2
* Left 4 Dead 2
* Fallout 3
* Dragon Age Origins

That's 4 games that I want to play and beat, but don't have time to. And it doesn't even take into consideration that I still want to play COD multiplayer and am in the middle of my second season of NHL 09.

A very good friend of mine has been raving about Mass Effect 2 and how I absolutely have to pick that game up. I figured I would have some time maybe this summer after I get through these games, but oh no. Also on the horizon of games to be released that I want to play include Red Dead Revolver and Final Fantasy 13.

I'll tell you all about my reviews on these games but here's a hint, they are all good. I mean holy crap. I could lose my entire social life playing all of these games and am not too sure if I would regret it.

We truly are in a golden age of video games. I love it. Not sure how my fiancee feels about it though.

Until next time,
