I remember reading somewhere that your average gamer only playes about 10 % of the games they buy all the way through.
Frankly I found that ridiculous. I have played all the way through plenty of my... then I decided to go to the game cabinet to see. Surely I am not such a spend thrift that I would waste money buying games when I have plenty before me to finish out? Oh surely I am. I have games I bought a couple of years ago, almost always used, at some sale or another. Played once to see if it worked, and then never put back into the machine. I have tried to keep the spending down, but I know when I see that buy 2 get 1 free sale at gamestop, I will ignore the fact that I have over 30 games still screaming for my attention. Plenty of princesses to rescue or pennants to be one, and I will buy another 9 or 12. Still I am trying to complete the ones I have, even if Sam Fisher is yelling at me to play through his adventures one more time. Or if I am not sure I have totally memorised all of Resident evil . The good thing I guess, and what I will focus on, is that there will always be another one to play. An ending I have yet to see. Now if I can stop wasting my time on the Lost Planet Demo at X-Box live. Gamertag, Englentine

I am totally with you on this, and unfortunately probably worse. Like you, Gamestop is the bane of my existence. I almost never go in there and walk out empty handed. The worst part is that it is right across the freeway from the job I just left. Maybe that will help me. Even today, I went there to buy 1 game, came out with 2 due to this weeks coupon, and reserved 2 more. I probably have close to 100 games I still need to play (I am not exaggerating)... Good luck with finishing your games, and I will continue to work on getting to all of mine. I joke to my wife that I hope when I get old enough to retire, my systems and games still work, as well as my mind and hands... lol
