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

The games I really want

When it comes to this holiday season, I’ve already said that my most-wanted game is Dragon Age: Origins. However, there are more games I’d love to own, though it may take awhile to get them. At least I won’t have to worry about setting off any wireless alarms in my attempts to get them; I’ll be buying them.

One already on store shelves is Uncharted 2. And, of course, the original Uncharted. These games are what Tomb Raider should be, only better.

Cross Edge has been out for a while, but I love my Tactics-style RPGs. This one has characters from five other NIS/Atlus RPGs. A fanboy’s delight.

Borderlands is looking good for anyone who enjoyed Fallout 3. And Demon Souls is the most hardcore action/RPG I’ve seen in quite a while. And I’ve mentioned before my love for Assassin’s Creed II.

That’s not to even mention Mass Effect 2, which should be available in early 2010, as well as Magna Carta 2.

The RPG heat is turning up.

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.
