Gaming comes before college. Sort out your priorities, seriously.

 Old man Monkey hobbles out. 
 
Anyone in college who plays more then 3 hrs of games each week is crazy.  You are in college take advantage or even waste it on better things then games.  For 90% of you, there won't be another part of your life where you are as: attractive, surrounded by peers, free with time, and as close to opportunities for BETTER experiences then in college.  Playing games now for more than a tiny fraction of the time is just sad.    I don't care if you some brah who skips class because mommy and daddy will support you until you're 30; or if you some struggling, working person paying his own way.   The part of your life between 17 and 25 is precious you don't get it back.  

Gaming is a hobby and you should only devote a tiny fraction of your best years to.  Hell, my advice would be even if you blow off classes, learn nothing, and totally waste your time at college at least waste those years outside with people doing actual things.

I've found that university hasn't really stopped me from playing games, it's just meant that I've got through games slower and had to do a lot of my playing during the holidays. My real issue playing games in the last year or so has been not having the money to buy a lot of games.

I have a brand new copy of New Vegas that I haven't popped in yet.  I have yet to finish playing through Black Ops and Amnesia.  I am still waiting for enough time to pop in Enslaved.  I still need to finish Dark Void, Just Cause 2, and The Saboteur.

I'm doing a games programming course - one of our lecturers tells us to play games as part of the course. At least four hours a week to (as he says) "how badly people can screw your job up with broken assets" 
 
 
I don't think he likes the guys doing game art

New Vegas. The time college takes up isn't my problem, it's how much money it takes up.

just do what i did in college/grad school: don't sleep

The last new game I played was Reach's campaign. This semester has been ridiculous.

Pretty much a majority of 2010, starting from January I still want to play Bayonetta, Bad Company 2, Fallout New Vegas, Dead Rising 2, Rock Band 3, Assassins Creed Brotherhood, Gran Turismo 5, and  some others.  
 
I did get to play some big games like Red Dead, God of War 3, and Mass Effect 2 among other smaller yet just as good games.

I think the fact that I've only missed out on a few games this semester on launch proves I'm either a genius or my priorities are horribly fucked up.

Same boat as you, New Vegas, BlOps, Assassin's Creed II and by extension Brotherhood, Dawn of War II, I'm not getting into Cataclysm because I know it'd be a waste. Many more too. 
 
Hell it's not even a money issue, I actually have a few games still wrapped...can't wait for Winter break to break into a few of them.

Like, 80% of my Steam catalog.  
 
I'm literally going to spend 5 years straight after college finishing the games I didn't get to play >.>

i have the games that i am happy with. i go to community college though....

Basically anything released in the last six months.  
 
It's kinda sucked!

Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2, Dead Rising 2, Fallout New Vegas... Man, work and college both suck.
