I’m an awful, awful man.

Quick update.

These are the games I am currently playing:

• Crysis
• Blue Dragon
• Rez HD
• New Super Mario Bros.
• Command & Conquer 3
• Zelda: Link to the Past

That’s six games, and I’ve put that in bold to emphasise just how very many games that is. I have, however, recently received Devil May Cry 4. This game has such an emphatically humongous grip on my entire cosmos that if you snatched my copy of DMC4 off me and told me you’d only give it back if I buggered my way through half the sheep of Wales I would (admittedly begrudgingly) agree. I have to play this game. I need to play this game.
However, that’s only because I’m a raging DMC fanboy with a bigoted metaphorical hard-on the size of the Eiffel tower. At least I’m aware of my bias.

So, let’s be honest, I’m probably going to have to abandon playing some of these games. The first one to be abandoned is easy: Command & Conquer 3. I just don’t really like it. It’s a bit ho-hum, really. The cut-scenes are cheesy C&C fare it’s just amazing how little I give a toss. I’ve been plodding along in Blue Dragon for far too long now, and I’m pretty much ready to give that one up. But I’m so desperately close to the end that I just want to get it finished, unless I want to get all 1000 achievement points for it; in that case, I have at least another fifty hours to go.

I really enjoy all the other ones - including Crysis - so I’m going to put them on the back burner and come back to them when I’ve got all the DMC out of my system. This is a promise, and this post is evidence of that.
