What's on my "games to play" list

Jason Preston · 1 min read ·

At any given time I have a good three or four games on “the list” - you know, that list of games that you’ve thrown down the $$ for and haven’t really even taken the shrink wrap off of? It’s one of the things that’s stopping me from picking up Hellgate: London, despite the decidedly mediocre reviews its getting.

At the moment, here’s what I’ve got in the queue, that I hope someday to play. The problem is that’s when I have 15 free minutes, it’s so much easier to just play Counter-Strike.

  • Guitar Hero III - Technically, I beat it already. But that’s no excuse for the extremely embarrassingly low number of hours I have put into this game so far.

  • BioShock - Yes, yes, I know when it came out. The problem is that the damn mouse control scheme feels like molasses with a quicksand problem. I may never play it again, actually, just because of their unbelievable control scheme incompetence.

  • Half Life 2: Episode 2 - “What???” you rightfully exclaim, “how the hell have you not finished this?” Tell you the truth, I don’t know. I should stop blogging and go play.

  • Eve Online - I’m ashamed to say it’s been days since I’ve logged in. My buddy put together a corp for us, HQ’d in the same system I’m at, and I’m too lazy to hop over one planet and sign up.

I’m also sorely tempted by the Sam & Max deal on Steam right now. Gah!
