Can a 45-year-old man maintain a marriage and a videogame habit? Let's find out!

Old games I’d still enjoy

I got an email coupon from a local videogame store, Play-N-Trade, today; it offers 50-percent off any used game in their store. That’s awesome, because there are plenty of games I missed when they were new and spendy that I’d love to pick up now. I’m talking games that are not junk, that are almost as interesting as Fort Walton Beach hotels.

At the top of my list? The PS3 adventure game, Uncharted. Sure, the second installment’s out now and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves looks great; but I’d have to pay way more for that, and why play the sequel if I haven’t touched the original yet.

Hopefully, they’ll have a copy available.

Hungry for a new great game

In the next three months, I intend to buy a new videogame, even though I have plenty to play. Mostly, I’ll do this because I’m hungry for something fresh and a lack of funds or slow trickle of free reviewables are not always great appetite suppressants.

The real question will be, which game should I get? If I restrict myself to games out before the end of the year, there are several real contenders.

I could easily get into Uncharted 2: Among Thieves for the PS3. I also would enjoy Assassin’s Creed II with its gorgeous visuals. I wish Final Fantasy XIII were among my choices.

But in the end, one game stands out among all the rest; Dragon Age: Origins is my top choice for games coming out on either PS3 or the 360. That’s my most-wanted game for the rest of 2009.
