  FREEE Games!!!!!

  Good, now you're here. It's almost that time again, Toys R Us annual B2G1 free games sale. The sale starts the 12th and runs until the 18th. Problem is all of the great games come out right after that, but fear not. The way the sale works is that you may exchange your two paid games for up to 45 days. So as long as there is ONE game you dont mind keeping that is out during that week, you can exchange the other two later. Im trying to decide a keeper game or two, because I need to pick up LBP, Gears 2, Fable 2, and Fallout 3 which all launch after the sale.

  Just make sure that the game you will be keeping is the 3rd one scanned, as they make every 3rd game the free one and it is much much more difficult to exchange the third one. Also if you try to return them later for cash they will only give you 2/3 of the price you paid, this keeps people from just paying for 2 games and getting a refund for three. Don't abuse it, its a great annual sale that helps me out every year.

  Should I buy this game?

  Lately this is the question I find myself asking more and more. I bought Wipeout HD the other day, and I feel pretty good about the purchase. Recently however, I have found myself renting games a lot more. I am not the same gamer I once was, nor is gaming the same hobby of my childhood. As a child, I had limited money for gaming, and less great games came out.

  Fast foreward to now, I have more money but I find myself less willing to part with the numerous good games that come out. Note that I rarely play a game online for any length of time. I played the halo's single player, gears of war, and many other games with decent single player campaigns, but I have not gone back to any of them once I finish them the first or second time.

  Don't get me wrong. I love gaming and I love supporting developers. I am just having a hard time paying $60 for games I will play through once and never touch again. Even a game like mass effect, which I adored and expected to play a few times, I have not gone back to. GTAIV? Didn't even finish that one.

  Now the yearly gaming flood is imminent and I am unsure of what to buy. I want Fable II, Fallout 3, Gears 2, LBP, Resistance 2, Mirror's Edge, and possibly some others like Prince of Persia. I don't see myself dropping around $400 on games for myself around the holiday. I know a game like Fable II is probably a buy due to the amount of time I'd play it. But in reality I'd like to buy all of them. I just dont know if I should? Why do I buy games I won't play more than once?

  Back to Wipeout HD. If some of these games were downloadable at a cheap price like this I would buy more games. I know these devs put a lot into their games and I enjoy supporting them, but don't you guys think it's time we see more price tiers a la viva pinata and banjo?

  I know this is a rambling post which is why i put it on my blog, so feel free to add in any thoughts.

  Standby Mode

  Well it's about that time again. School started up this week. My last semester at this school before I head elsewhere. I have 5 classes, which sucks when you work full time also. Anyway this is just to serve as notice that I won't be posting as often as usual, which many people might take as a bonus! I'll still drop in when I can, I'm still around but just on less active trolling duty.
