[Neo]

With all the consoles plus a PC I constantly have the feeling that there are more great games than I will ever have time to play. Because of this I sometimes have a hard time getting into a game as I'm constantly wondering if there is some other game I should really be spending my time with.

Since I'm scientifically minded I like to classify everything, including the games I play. What I do is concentrate on a single game at a time, what I refer to as my "focus" game. This is the game I will spend most of my time playing. Then I will have a secondary game I refer to as a "distraction" game. This is typically a sports or puzzle title - something which doesn't have a clear objective. Right now my focus game is Fable and my distraction game is Halo 2. Halo 2 was originally a focus game, but now all I do is play online occasionally; I'm no longer working through the campaign.

This is not to say that I don't play other games at the same time, because I do. I just like to have a primary and secondary game so I'm not jumping back and forth between different titles. I hate coming back to a game like Metroid Prime that I haven't played in months because I have no idea where I am or what I was trying to accomplish at that particular time.

And of course I'm always playing the sims (now the sims 2) and writing stories about them. I haven't played WC III in a long time which is a shame considering I bought a new video card just for that.

In the future money and time constraints may force me to support a single system instead of three consoles and a computer like I do now. I consider GC to be my "flagship" console but that doesn't automatically mean I'll be doing all things Revolution in the future. I'm waiting to see which next-gen console will be my main focus.
