I haven’t been as nearly as attentive to playing my games. Nor, have I being playing them effectively or efficiently as I should. In between work and my degree i’m fairly swamped. You’d think this would stop me buying an endless stream of new games. Boy oh boy, you’d be severely wrong. I went for it, not in the sense I actually bought what could be seen as aanything of worth, nay. I bought more random games, at least two or three of them I genuinely wanted. I think I just love a cheap bargain, either that or I just admit I have slight hoarding issue.
As you can see I have a good ol’ stack of new stuff this time. I have surprisingly reviewed let’s build a zoo. After sinking 30 hours into it, and periodically still playing it, I’m ever so slightly addicted to it. I even managed to finish my Final Fantasy XIII trilogy. See below.
No Mercy on the N64, this is one of the titles I actually wanted and I have in fact played it for a few hours. Shocking I know. Poorly though, as even though it’s boxed it doesn’t come with the manual. So, every time I want to play it, I have to google the controls as I play so many at once it all blurs. Much like my average day to day.
Another title I wanted was Enter the Matrix and specifically I wanted it on the Gamecube. I do have it on the OG Xbox. It’s in my stack of utterly decimated discs. I bought a bundle from offline, the seller fucked me. They fucked me good. the controller was bollocked, all but 2 games weren’t decimated by what, one can only asssume to be that of a dying rabbid cat in it’s final moments was also electruted and decided to use the discs as scratching posts.
I do think to myself sometimes, perhaps I should save some money up and start buying complete in box versions of the Pokemon games I want, or some of the earlier Final Fantasy games. But, why do that when I can buy more random Scooby – Doo games, or some Yu-Gi-Oh games that cost pittance to me. I only have myself to blame.
Amongst all this I have also come to the realisation I need a game play plan, or simple structure, that i’ll actually attempt to follow. I’ll beleive in myself only so much, I can’t forsee it sticking but I have for the immediate future got a solid plan in place. I know what my next few games that I will be playing for review are. All i’m gonna say is, be prepared to be razzle dazzled or bitterly dissapointed but just know, my tasty devotees. I have some old, some new and some odd choices coming your way. I do this so that you may not have to endure hours of trash or to help gently guide you onto the path of gaming enligthenment. We are in this together, this’ll be my last collection update for like three weeks, until this entire plan immediately goes to pot with my post christmas haul. I should hopefully be putting up a game review up soon, as I’m well into finishing Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. I’m fairly positive I’ve got another few unfinished ones lying around on my laptop as well.
Until then, as always stay tasty. Have a grand Christmas and very Happy New Year.
