So many games

    So I was up just about all night last night playing Madden 08 just trying to get a hang of the game. It really pisses me off that they put those "fake" fumbles in there, that would be reversed in any real life game. And I know you can challenge them, but they really really suck when they happen in the last 2 minutes of the half and the challenge button is greyed out. I have lost 2 games to the CPU due to this stupid crap. The first one, I was down by one point with a little under a minute left on about the 15 yard line. Well what do you know, a fumble happens after my guy is clearly down, they pick it up and run it back for a TD. WTF! The challenge button is greyed out and the game didn't automatically review it like it is supposed to. So I was kind of pissed off at the game, even though its just a game and all. So the very next game, Same thing is going on except I am winning by a FG. I throw a pass, and it's intercepted. I tackle the guy, he is down, and he fumbles, and they pick it up and run it in for a TD. I get a kick-off with under 30 seconds left and down by 4 points and lose the game.. So needless to say at that point I pretty much cursed the entire EA team.
    Today, I was just so frustrated with the game, I was going to trade it in to GameStop and get Two Worlds instead. So I go up there, and they offer me $20 for the trade-in. They have to be kidding right, I see the used copy right there on the wall for $49.99. So I said nevermind, then went to Best Buy and got a copy of Two Worlds anyway, I didn't want to give GameStop the business at that point. But later I played another game of Madden and kicked some CPU ass and so I am kind of glad I didn't trade it in after all.
    But aside from all that, while I was browsing the games in GameStop, there are just so many games I want to pick up that I am going to go insane. And with every week something new comes out that I want to buy and there is no way I have the time or money to buy and play all these games. I really would like to pick up Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata when that comes out, as I love my JRPGs. I am definately picking up NHL 08 next week sometime, I can't wait to play that. Lets get some action goin with all you hockey fans, I've seen a few blogs with NHL logos on them and some with NHL 07 in the now playing list. I really needed to hit that $300 million lotto that was going around..

The number one rule for me on gaming is do not sell your games! You will always regret it. Unless you have not played it in a very long time, don't even like it, and will never ever play it again you should keep it. You never know when you will feel like picking it back up and giving it another go. As for Madden the rule of thumb for me is only sell the old one when you are getting the new one. There really is no point in having '05, '06, and '07 when you have '08. You will not be picking the old ones up again. The only reason I would keep an old Madden is for the Achievements.
