Too Many Games, Too Little Time & Too Little Money

Too Many Games, Too Little Time & Too Little Money

Sitting here looking at my shelf, I count no less than 15 games I currently want to play. My collection edges over 100 games, but those 15 I’ve identified as to-play (and, in some cases, to-play-again). This isn’t even counting games coming out in the next couple of weeks. Is there an overabundance of video games? You bet there is.

I can’t count on one hand the games I’ve started but just haven’t had the time to finish; there’s just too many of them. The game industry continues to produce at a breakneck pace, and games are just getting better and better. Recently finishing stellar titles like Mass Effect 2, Assassin’s Creed 2, Dragon Age: Origins and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 showed me that.

Let’s look at some of the games I’m having a hard time finding time to play:

2009 Inside Gaming Awards Nominees Announced

If you’re a gamer and a follower of industry news, you need to check out the Inside Gaming Awards, a huge new gaming awards show from Machinima.com.  If you watch trailers and previews online, then you’ve no doubt come across Machinima’s widely popular YouTube channel for which we’ve used ourselves here at Game Rant to share trailers with you.

The awards will take place on December 11th 2009, the night before the Spike TV Video Game Awards, and offer another way for gamers to participate and celebrate a great year in gaming. Machinima’s new awards program is the first of its kind and we have the nominees for the awards listed below.

Brutal Legend DLC Coming – Free for PS3

Brutal Legend publisher Electronics Arts announced that the first downloadable content for the game will be coming out November 3rd for Xbox 360 users and November 5th for the Playstation troupe.

The DLC is entitled “Tears of the Hextadon” and will include two maps named Circle of Tears and Death’s Fjord. If you want to rock it out on the map pack, you’ll be paying 400 Microsoft Points or $5 for them – but how does getting them free sound? According to EA’s Brent Dady, that sounded pretty good: he reported on the Playstation Blog that the map pack will be absolutely free for the first two weeks of release on the Playstation only. If you’ve got a PS3, you’ve got until November 19th to take advantage of the freebie.
