So many games. No sooner have I finished Metroid and Zelda's out. And that's missing Resi 0 and Monkey Ball 2 along the way.
No sooner is Zelda completed for a first run-through, and there's Burnout 2, Skies, Ikaruga...
Oh, and a couple of exams somewhere in there, if I have time.

Then there's NBA Street 2, Def Jam, Mario Sunshine (still), Hitman 2, Splinter Cell, Conflict DS, maybe Resis...

Then there's the PS2: GTA, Silent Hill 3...


I think it's time to give up on trying to buy everything.


New approach:
2 in for 2 'done'.
One arcade-style game, one not-arcade kind of thing, with a plot and stuff.

When I'm about done with one, I replace with one from the same 'category'.

First up:
Burnout 2
Resi (playing through with Chris this time)

Then:
Ikaruga
Skies

But not until I finish with the other two.


And it'll save so much money...

Just got that ad again. It's called Deep Shark. Rents games by post.

A while back (three weeks) when I accessed SR I got an ad about internet games rental via post. They had a 'if you like it buy it, or send it back' approach. That might be good.

I figure this way I'll only be getting games I know to rule, since it'll be the best 2 games available that I don't have.

The summer drought can't be *that* long...


Renting does sound like a good idea though. Unfortunately nobody does cube rentals locally...

If you're doing it that way you should rent them first. You don't want one of your two games to be apalling.
