This summer feels like it went by faster than most. Summer's almost over and I still have a massive summer assignment to do. I should've been doing it but games like Fable 2 and Phoenix Wright just kept pulling me back in. Gamefly may be a major detriment to my academic career but its still an incredible service.
Right when I send back Phoenix Wright, Red Faction just pulls me back in. I actually didn't play nearly as many games as I thought I would partly because I've been busy with my friends and also because of Gamefly's somewhat slow shipping times.
Due to the fact that I'm still in high school, my game budget isn't quite what I wished it was so Gamefly is the best solution I could think of. However, the availability of new releases like Prototype (back when it 1st came out of course) and Arkham Asylum force me to miss a few hot topics that the community was writing about.
Other than that it is a rather inexpensive solution for my very expensive hobby. The only games I usually ever buy are multiplayer games that have plenty of replay value. I also buy an RPG here and there but normally I just gamefly those too.
Looking back, this summer has been a pretty good one for the industry. Games such as Arkham Asylum, Red Faction: Guerilla, Prototype, and Infamous came out and Bitmob was also created. I've got tons of catching up to do and that's going to be even tougher during the school year.
I'm going to finish up with one final question: what games are you most looking forward to this holiday season?
P.S I hope the community doesn't mind that I use the site sort of like my own personal games journal.
