Do you have way too many games and not enough time to play them all?
If the answer is “yes”, then fear not, as you are not alone, for there are many gamers out there who like to keep up with all the current releases and buy games as soon as they come out in the shops. The problem is that over recent weeks, there have been so many great games coming out on all formats (except for the Xbox ;)), that many die-hard gamers are buying them all but finding themselves swamped under in a sea of games, and having to ignore some of them because there simply aren’t enough hours in the day, especially if they work/go to school/look after an elderly relative or monkey.
But what about those gamers that are rather less fortunate than yourselves, because poorer gamers also want to enjoy all the new games, they often neglect the basic human necessities like food, drink, cigarettes and alcohol. Aside from Gameaday or low-down dirty thievery, there is no way for them to play all the great new games and still have money left for all the important day-to-day essentials.
This is where the ‘Hire A Gamer Scheme’, or HAGS for short, comes in to save your games loving skins.
It was originally a successful pilot scheme in Japan, where about a thousand games are usually released in the average gaming week. Japanese gamers had found that they just couldn’t cope with all the games they had, and felt miserable because they were ignoring brilliant games, and felt they had wasted money on games they just didn’t have the time to play.
So with this in mind, a crazy band of financially challenged Japanese video game fanatics, who didn’t have the cash to buy all the latest releases, formed the HAGS, and offered their gaming expertise for a minimal fee; nothing! A certified member of HAGS would basically visit the well-off gamers and play all their little played games for them.
The symbiotic relationship turned out very well, with the poorer gamers able to experience all the wonderful delights of all the new releases, and the richer gamers could get satisfaction in the knowledge that all their games have been played and completed, and they’ve also helped people less fortunate than themselves in the process.
The scheme has also proved successful in the US, with poor redneck gamers helping busy middle class suburban gamers finish their games, and now the HAGS is coming to the United Kingdom, ready to help snowed under gamers and those who can’t afford all the new games.
Brett Sinclair, leader of the UK HAGS said, “It is great for us to be able to set up this mutually beneficial scheme in the UK, ready to help gamers rich and poor.”
“At the moment we have plenty of clients who need their games played, but we’ll find it tough going in the summer as kids have time to play their games in the long school holiday and there’s also not many decent new games released then.”
Ben from Essex said, “In the last few weeks I’ve got Resident Evil, Mario Sunshine, Timesplitters 2, Eternal Darkness, Pro Evolution Soccer 2, Burnout 2 and a little game called GTA: Vice City is coming very very soon!!! There just isn’t enough time to play them all, so the HAGS will really come in useful.”
Chester from Chester said, “I really shouldn’t buy all these great games that come out as I know I don’t have the time to play them, but I can’t help it as I’ve got Game Addiction Disorder (GAD). But with the help of the HAGS, I can feed my addiction for buying games, get them played and completed and still find time to indulge in my other main hobby of playing Oasis songs on my orchestral nose flute.”
There are thousands more gamers like Ben and Chester across Britain who have loads of games but are suffering and in need of more time to play all these great games that are being released every week. Without the help of the HAGS, many might suffer unnecessarily in desperation of wanting to play games even though they have no time for them all.

Nope ;)
Totoro, this is way off topic but are you the same Totoro mentioned in this month's Edge as the magazine's official Animal Crossing tailor?
Or just get a memory card with the complete game on.
