The summer lulz

What to do, what to do?  I've made my way through some major releases lately, including a few Horde cheevos in Gears 2 (still can't get into the MP, and I fear it's far too late for that now since Epic effed it all up last November).  So until Prototype releases next month I'm wondering what to play next.  Maybe finally tackle Ratchet and Clank on the PS3?  Chinatown Wars on the DS? 

The problem is that that ever-persistent urge to close the gap with Manwich's gamerscore is overwhelming.  But really, have I been reduced to nothing more than closeted gamerscrore whoring?  Is that what my hobby has been reduced to?  Hope not :)

At the same time,  Springtime seems to always be ripe for an extended run at a major/epic storylined game a la GTA4, Oblivion, etc.  I guess I could go back and buy all the DLC for Fallout 3, but there's something about that game that doesn't really feed any need to re-enter the world.  I devoured GTA's Lost and the Damned and absolutely loved it.  But it'll be a while before the next installment comes along (end of the year? next year?)

I could also try to play Rogue Galaxy or my first Final Fantasy (XII) but I don't know if I want to get that sucked into a game right now.  I keep thinking about how great the stories + gameplay in some last-gen games were: XIII, Buffy, Metal Arms, Armed and Dangerous, Beyond Good And Evil, God of War...  It would be great to get into a 15-hour game that had lasting impact from an experiential perspective. 

There just doesn't seem to be anything like that out there to play right now.  So maybe I'll just continue snacking and avoid feasting for a while.
