Do you enjoy gaming in the summer?

Summer started just about a month ago now and it's a time that most of us just like to relax, spend time with friends, go on vactions or even just stay home. With every season different opportunities become available and with those they make the most out of our days and make them memorable. This brings me to gaming, this has been a question I've thought about for a while and decided to share it with you guys. Since alot of us are avid gamers, regardless of which console do you enjoy gaming in the summer?
These are my thoughts on it and I want to hear from you guys too. I think it's great, but at a time like this in moderation is best for a few reasons. The essential idea most of us play so many types of games is to accomplish something that isn't possible or open to us in the real world or basically just another approach at an activity we're really good at. I think every year at this time game developers limit the amount of titles so that we can focus on other things. If the market was always profitable all year round there would be no end and gaming would be an addiction. This is the time where they can take a much needed break as well as us.
Summer gaming at least to me isn't all that great this year, I know there are some great games being released such as Soul Calibur IV and Too Human. I've played both demos to the point hours passed by like nothing, and they were both real good in their own sense. Too Human was great and everyone should check it out. Since summer started all I picked up and planned to get was Battlefield: Bad Company which doesn't really compare to last year when I purchased Bioshock, Guitar Hero II and Forza 2. There's a lot more to do than just game, the options are almost endless. A lot of great movies are hitting the theatres now and the weather is getting hot so there's alot to do outside.
I think Summer is going to be great this year regardless. I have a few things planned and goals to get done by the time it's done. First, I need to get a new job and work as much as possible since already having three months off school feels like enough. I plan on skating every chance I get, learn some new tricks and record some of it. Go see a few new movies; The Dark Knight, Midnight Meat Train, Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express in theatres. Get ready for school in September and of course get some gaming in there. I'm sure I'll see a few of you on Live so we'll play something for sure.
I'll be picking up a PS3 when the price on the 80GB drops and just in time for the first great wave of new games such as Little Big Planet, excited for that. I'll be getting a few that I missed that I'd like to go back and play, them being Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4 and Resistance. I'll add up my PSN id when I get it to let you all know. Basically that's it, let me know your opinions on summer gaming and peace out.
