So many games

I play a lot games. Not as much as much or as obsessively as others, but I think I'm on the shallow end of the bell curve.

I have a backlog of games from the glut of Fall '07, and Fall '08 is even crazier.

Mirror's Edge comes out today, Left 4 Dead and Tomb Raider: Underworld in a week. Then there's Quantum of Solace and EndWar and Prince of Persia. I haven't finished Dead Space. My friend and I are two-thirds of the way through Gears of War 2 co-op. I have Fallout 3 still in the shrinkwrap on my shelf. I haven't even downloaded On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness episode 2 yet. Hell, I haven't even finished GTA4, though that's more due to lack of interest than anything. I'm working through Tomb Raiders Legend and Anniversary from Gamefly and I've only played one game of Civ Revolution.

It's good that I'm not particularly interested in Fable 2 and Call of Duty 5  and Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3.

SPOILED 4 CHOICE! XBOX 360!

Console selection doesn't go back 20+ years like it does on the PC; be glad you don't have to worry about thousands of good games you've missed ;)

dennis:
Chill with the PC evangelism, man.

In any case, consoles have been around since the late 70s, dude.

Also, I've been a PC gamer for over 20 years, but I'm versatile enough that I have no need of console bigotry.

PizzaSHARK:
I never miss the chance to jab at console gamers... they're so CUTE! :)

ArcAirbender:
How interesting you mention all this.

I bought GTA4 3 months ago, and even though I already finished the game, I just couldn't coupe with the people calling all day trying to befriend you. I think it was a shallow attempt at longevity, but backfired tremendously.

I don't usually sell back the games I purchase, mostly because i seldom buy them without careful consideration; I'm considering it on GTA4 because my local store is giving me 45 dollars for it.

It makes it hard for me to sell it because I keep thinking the game has something bigger to offer me, specially since most of the achievements are locked (I only have something like 350 points out of 1000). But Liberty city is one of the smallest cities I've seen in a GTA game, and I'm noticing this trend of games to have a gazilion  ~5pt achievements.

As of late, I've been thinking that the achievements system can be a sketchy way to measure a games success with the player. The more achievements you accomplish, the more immersed, addicted, or well designed the title was.
Of course there ought to be notable exceptions, where you just get points for doing ordinary stuff... in any case, is that way of punctuation a really negative one?

If I sell GTA4 would be to purchase Gears of War 2, since a friend of mine cannot stop talking about the horde mode.

Do you guys think selling GTA4 for 45 dlls is a good choice?
Is it sound to sell it so I can get GoW2? I'm thinking GoW2 may not give the limitless hours that GTA4 can, but perhaps it can give what it has with more quality to it?
