Thats about what I have in my collection of 360 and PS3 right now. That is not including sport games of prior years. I have all the nba 2k7, ncaa 07-09, etc etc

I don't even want to attempt my PC titles, that would be another list twice as long as this one.

Great list Phobia but my only question to you is...

If you have a PS3, why did you buy MLB 2k9?

I'm guilty for not even firing up single player on COD MW2. Everytime I try, the multiplayer sucks me in!

Thanks Brett

Well guys it is a combination of things. First my dad only has a 360 and we try and figure out what games will be cool to play against one another. So he was talking about getting a baseball game. Then MLB2k9 was coming out soon at that point. So we choose it.

But I also have The Show 08 so I figured if I needed my baseball fix I could just play the last year one. But being that I am not a huge baseball fan the 08 version is really all I need.

Well I have sold off some of my games thus far, I don;t know why I do that, I buy games and then don't play them, I need to stick like 5 games in a rotation and thats it.

[sportsdude]

how do you guys get all these games then never play them? Every game I get I put at least a decent amount of time into, the only ones I didn't:

PES 2008: Just sucked pretty much all around

GTA IV: my disc constantly had freezing problems from the moment I got it. About a week after I purchased it I couldn't play longer than 5 minutes without it freezing. Traded it in and had no desire to play it any more.

Battlefield: Bad Company: Kinda got sucked in because of previews and the demo. Multiplayer was only reason I got the game and it didn't seem quite right. No friends played it either and I traded it in a week after I got it.

Assassin's Creed: Was repetitive and did not suck me in at all. Good thing I bought it used from a friend for $12.

mostly because they come out in bunches and they are all hyped. for me i hear about everyone getting such and such and i tend to want to check it out and see what all the hype is about. then when i actually get a chance to play i tend to simply want to play the games I am used to playing and enjoy the most, like sports titles and racing games.
