Your current Game Buying Habits

[Blix]

Many people here have either the same problems as I do or similar ones. Lately, I have some stuff to attend in my life and it makes me feel guilty when I spend time playing a video game instead of doing some other stuff. The only thing I play are games that I can pickup again without having to remember exactly where I have been, what was the last time I did and what I have to do next. I left some Metroid Games incomplete thanks to this. I'll be very into a game, then suddenly some thing takes me away from it and I have to return to the game about a month later when I don't remember what I was supposed to do. The process of remembering little details is so frustrating that I end up just not getting back into the game. And it ALWAYS happens in the middle of a game. MMOs, on the other hand, I find easy to return to and continue my leveling and quests. But then again they're such time sinks...

And for some reason PC gaming is now my preferred gaming platform. Maybe it's the MMOs, maybe it's my love for steam (and it's weekend specials), or because I keep trying to push that expensive hardware to its limit.
