Are you aware of this strange breed? Perhaps you are even one of them.

The GAMES COLLECTOR: a person who buys game after game and yet hardly ever plays them.

I mention this because I suspect my cousin is one.
In his room is a N64, a PSone and a PS2, and his TV cabanet is crammed with games - all pristine.
There's 16 N64 titles, over 30 PSone games, and about 7 top PS2 games.
But the strange thing is: I've never seen him play any of them!

Yeah he talks about gaming all the time, but when you ask him about certain games - he either says: "Oh I haven't played it yet", or "I'm only on the first level".

He recently bought Grand Theft Auto 3, so being an avid gamer I asked him yesterday what it was like.
And you know what he said? He said: "I've only had a quick blast."
Now he purchased this game over 10 days ago, and seeing that it is supposedly one of the best and most addictive games currently available on the PS2, I found his apathy towards the game totally astounding!

So have I identified a strange breed within gaming, or is it just my cousin who's weird?
