Too Many Games, Too Little Time
I’ve gone over this topic numerous times before, but I shall iterate it once again: I have way too many unplayed games and not enough time to play enough of them concurrently. I will be the first to admit that, yes, this problem is entirely my fault, and yes, the majority of unplayed games I have I probably shouldn’t have bought in the first place. That’s a problem that I’m slowly dealing with, however, and not the main point of this post anyway.
Today I picked up Okami, a game that’s pretty much being classified as one of the PS2s last “must haves” and the best non-Nintendo alternative to Zelda. Of course, this means I want to play it as soon as possible instead of making it wait in the piles of the aforementioned unplayed games. However, I currently have 2 (well, arguably 4) PS2 games in progress at the moment: FFX and Ratchet: Deadlocked (the other two are We Love Katamari and Kingdom Hearts (yes, still)). Since Ratchet is a game with a falrly quick single player campaign, I started playing it this afternoon and got to where I think is immediately before the final boss battle. This means with no football game tomorrow I should be able to finish it up and start Okami.
To cover the state of the rest of my current gaming world, I’m playing Neverwinter Nights and Diablo II on the PC (along with some FFXI thrown in for my MMO of the month). I think I still have Conker to finish up on Xbox, and on Gamecube I still have Metroid Prime (been on the final boss battle for who knows how long). And we won’t even go into all the games I have that I want to play, but through self-restraint I haven’t started in order to avoid starting them and then quitting a couple of hours in when I move onto the next game.
