I am overloading on games. I have too many games I want to play at once, too many games I need to beat and too many games I want to buy.

I'm nearing the end of Arc the Lad Twilight of the Spirits and I'm still way into it.

I'm almost at the end of Shadow Hearts, I just need to do some grinding and I'll be ready to tackel the final dungeon, I'm getting the end of the game ADD I always get and I just don't want to play it.

I've pretty much given up on Mass Effect and Fallout 3 because they just can't hold my intrest right now.

I'm 1/3rd of the way through Kingdom Hearts RE Chain of Memories but the boss fights are so freaking hard I keep throwing it down in frustration.

I like Castle Crashers but it's so hard to make time for it in addition to my "real" games.

I want to play Rogue Galaxy so bad I catch myself reading the FAQ's online longingly.

I want Guild Wars but I'm worried it's going to cut into my console gaming.

I still haven't played Persona 3 or 4.

Suikoden is on the PSN, but I can't justify getting it.

Then there's all my other must have games, Valkyria Chronicles, Star Ocean, Prince of Persia. I'm never going to live long enough to beat all these games.

Arc the Lad was a decent little RPG that didn't get as much attention as it deserved. Of course Shadow Hearts is a classic though I'm surprised that Mass Effect and Fallout 3 aren't keeping your attention, maybe it will be better to go back to them when you've got some of the others out of the way. My son is playing KH Chain of Memories and I know he's had quite a tough time with certain Boss battles as well, I keep hearing him yell out "Cheater!" when he loses

Rogue Galaxy was a great game, hope they make another one some day.

With SE dropping the ball with the latest batches of RPG's they've been putting out, I think Level 5 is has a big opportunity to become the next RPG powerhouse if they play their cards right.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Rogue Galaxy franchise.

Haha I pretty much feel the same way. But I'm holding back because of how slow I game, and school just started for me. No way I'm going to overload myself on games now, no matter how badly I want to.

I am quite focused when it comes to games, and i don't have enough money to buy all the games i want. So I don't face as much of the problems you mentioned.

lol End of the game ADD. I've seen lots of gamers get overwhelmed from the amount of games they're playing/will be playing/want to play list. Haha and you're definately not the only one who's run into end-of-the-game ADD. You know it's easy to give into the pressure and collapse by simply hopping around from one game to the other. It's happened to me I don't know how many times. Up untill,, well, recently I've come up with a simple solution, and I'm more than happy to share it. This took me about 2 hours to do, haha but it's well worth it. Basically I wrote down every game I want to play and categorized, priortized, and calculated. It gave me a list of say 5 games that I will complete by the end of this term. Don't worry about playing games that "you need" to play, it's all about what you want the most. Once you come up with the list, stick with it; this will help you focus and pay attention to the games you want to play. Hopefully this helps.. Happy gaming.

You have the same problem I have - I start things I never finish

It's one of my new years resolutions though to at least get to the ending cinematic of most games I play.

Aw... you're forsaking Mass Effect and not even playing P3 and P4 to play Kingdom Hearts and Shadow Hearts... eww.

And poor Valkyria Chronicles and Star Ocean.

But then I shouldn't talk when I have Left 4 Dead, Valkyria Chronicles, Persona 4, Star Ocean 1 and more to deal with...

Casey, if you want to spread the gospel of P3 and 4 you could always send me a copy. *wink wink*

Melainy, last year was pretty good, I beat at least three games, which may be a personal best.

Maxi pad, 180?! I can't even imagine

If you think Max's 180 is impressive, try my 255.... I don't even dare to replay games for fear that I'll fall behind....hell I fell behind years ago =/ I just can't stop buying games!
