In all my years of gaming I don’t think theres ever been a time where I’ve been quite as overloaded with the amount of quality games available. While I am currently making good progress on my ‘pile of shame’ I have to throw my hands up in the air when I think of all the games I still have yet to buy. With more and more games that I’m eager to play being released every week I wonder if I’ll ever find the time to get to all of them.

There’s a good chance the next generation will be upon us before I finally take to the rooftops in Mirrors Edge, or scream where no one can hear me in Dead Space. Even with a generous average of 3hrs a day to play I still doubt I’ll ever be able to make it through all of the games on my want list.

Don’t get me wrong, I certainly am not complaining – I am just overwhelmed at the sheer amount of gaming there is to be done. My current want list just seems to keep growing and growing:

* Fallout 3 (360)
* Mirrors Edge (360)
* Dead Space (360)
* Farcry 2 (360)
* Prince of Persia (360)
* Legendary (360)
* The Force Unleashed (360)
* Silent Hill (360)
* Uncharted (PS3)
* Ratchet & Clank (PS3)
* Resistance 2 (PS3)

It’s not looking good, especially when the first 1/4 of 2009 has Skate 2, Killzone 2, and Resident Evil 5 to name a few.

How is everyone coping with this onslaught of games? Is your pile of shame reaching new heights, or is your want list now running off the page (or both)?
