TwitterGame Purchases For 2008
I’ve found that over the years I’ve collected quite a few games. I haven’t counted recently but the numbers are mind boggling. What I’ve also found that is out of all the games I buy the majority of them just sit on the shelf. I only play a handful of games at a time and when I’m done with them, which sometimes could be years, I put another game in my rotation.
So this year I’ve taken a completely different approach to my game purchases although there have been a few slip ups. I’ve focused mainly on quality titles and I’ve only purchased games on 3 platforms so far this year out of a possible 6. I’m making this list to remind myself of what games I truly want to play this year and that I’ll only be buying those games. There is some wiggle room, I’ll allow for a total of 6 game purchases outside of the list. So far I’ve already spent 3 of those.

The challenge will be to see if I can hold myself to buying only games on the list. This is the first time I’ve tried to really limit what games I buy. We’ll see how it goes. So far I’ve bought a few impulse games. The only one I really wanted was a good basketball game. At least I bought it while it was on sale.
The Impulse Buy List (5 of 6)
- Playstation 3
The Bigs- NBA 2k8
- MLB ‘08: The Show
- Karaoke Revolution
- Xbox 360
LOST- Naruto
- PC/Mac
- Sins of a Solar Empire (PC)
- These games aren’t 100% for sure purchases. There is a slight chance I won’t buy them due to not enough time to play them, poor reviews, or lack of interest once they’re released. I won’t swap these games for other titles so it’s either the game on the list or nothing.
- Can’t believe I forgot this one on the original list. Who knows, it may not ship this year anyway.
- Forgot this one as well. Sort of up in the air on this one but it looks very interesting.
