It's holiday time
November 11, 2007

We are right in the middle of the craziest time of the year for gamers. Between late September and early December I'd say at least 75% of the year's good games, highly anticipated games, and franchise sequels hit the shelves.

I know the logic is that these games will all sell well because of Christmas, but to me many of these games could do better if they were released at a time when there weren't a bunch of other high profile games to compete with.

I, along with almost everyone else can afford one or two games a month. I also really only have the time to thoroughly play through a few games this time of the year. I usually end up buying more games than I have time to play and eventually at least one of them gets forgotten. Or just keeps getting buried behind newer games I want to play more.

I'm curious what other people on this site handle the gaming madness at this time of year. The video store a few blocks from my house has gotten better lately about getting new releases so I might try renting more this year.

I feel your pain but I don't have a solution to offer. Basically, I go through the same thing. This year I'm 'fortunate' in that I have no money to spend, so I probably won't get any of them beyond maybe Super Mario Galaxy and Call of Duty 4 (which is supposed to be on its way to me from Activision after my participation in the beta). Those two games should keep me busy for a long while. Assassin's Creed, which I'd like, will probably drop in price before I can get it.
