Every time I convince myself it's time to buy a 360, I look at my dusty X-box and gamecube and realize that I barely use those, and that all I really want is a "new toy" to open. Not that I think playing games isn't worthwhile entertainment and all, but I see people getting caught up in this cycle of trying to "keep up" with whats hot and new, instead of actually appreciating the games they have and truly enjoy. In a good month, I might play games for 8-12 hours, but that is becoming a rare occurrence. I've decided that I'll put off buying a 360 and try to play through the games I've barely touched for the systems I have. Notice I didn't way "work through" because I think that is insane too. Trying to force myself to play through something I'm not really enjoying just because? That is insane. So yeah, you aren't the only person who has put gaming in the backseat, but when you come back to it with a clearer view and purpose I think you'll find a groove.
