I think that I am just like a gambler that has a problem, I buy more video games even though I haven't beaten the ones I have. Even though I am half through Assassin's Creed 2, I still have Dragon Age and I am currently resisting the urge to buy New Super Mario Bros WII. I don't have as much free time as I used to,I work 6 days a week. The problem with getting older is losing the ability to stay up late playing. I used to play until past 3 am.Next year White Knight Chronicles is coming out and the big one Final Fantasy XIII,not to mention Final Fantasy XIV. It's like great game overload. I shouldn't complain huh?

That's fine I have loads of free time to play games new ones that I get on Steam every week but most of the time I play them for a little.

This. I've honestly boughten so many games I can't even remember which ones are there. 
 
The solution to this problem for me is, incidentally, buying another game. Starcraft 2. After that I'll be able to resist other games I don't need.
