    dont buy into that crap - imsure there is a ton of good games out there you havent played or have. check some out - dont pay attention to the reviewers - decide for your self - im sure youll find some gems by doing that

    Who here has the money to buy games when they come out? I hope to get a few current gen titles (maybe some PC stuff) that I hadn't earlier, so this is pretty good for me.

    Yeah, I concur - the drought has officially begun. Last year's was bad... this year's looks bad too. Maybe the odd PC release will brighten my day... but I'm doubtful. Oh well - thank God I'm a collector now

    from a collector's viewpoint - droughts are a good thing. i finally have a chance to pick up older titles without "OMG BUY ME I'M NEW" screaming in my face.

    Yes, there's always something out there...the cheaper the better. My local Wal-Mart still has a $10 game bin...I agree it's silly to buy everything new. Look for something a bit older (and a lot cheaper) or (gasp!) play one of your own games that's collecting dust...

    How can you afford stuff like that? I couldn't afford a new game, that's for sure. They usually come out at around $100 NZD, which is like, yikes.

    I'm poor, I know. So a little 'drought' doesn't look likely to change me.

    Well Artlier Iris just came out the other day, and Makai Kingdom is due out later this month. Then there's Riveria... I'd say my RPG fix is good to go this summer.

    If you can't find any good games to buy, simply start a project of playing every video game in existance in pure alphabetical order. Just imagine the fun of playing 2600 Asteroids and then 5200 Asteroids, 7800 Asteroids, Lynx Asteroids, the Asteroids & Deluxe Asteroids in the PS1 compilations and in every other Atari games collection and the Asteroids remake for PS1...then hit the arcades for the real thing! And if that doesn't do it, wait until you hit the Pac-Man games...

    At first I had thought you were talking about drought of used games available. I know how it is with the would-be collectors who have school during most times (ie; not summer).

    Somehow, with the way this discussion has gone, reading Saturday's Fox Trot seems somehow quite appropriate...
