Videogame papa

So as a new dad my videogame time is way way down.  The kid goes to bed @ 8 and I spend a few hours with my wife and its bed time.  When do parents get to play games?  Even tho I barely have time to game, I still asked for games.  for Christmas I got Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed, and Uncharted.  I was given AC on Christmas eve so it was played  for about an hour.  I had to stop because once I put in Uncharted, I realized I wouldn't be playing any other games until Uncharted was completed. 

I have no idea how long it will take to beat Uncharted, but it is a lot of fun!  It sort of makes sense that I would want to play it because I can't go see National Treasure in the theater.  The plot, acting, and action all come together in a way that rarely happens in a videogame.  I am on chapter 5 right now.  It stinks I can't play it in front of the kid, but with all that shooting and blood spraying, it is too much for a 7 year old to watch.  Plus I don't want him learning to speak listening to people in a videogame curse.

I have no idea when in the year I get to play COD4 or AC.  I know I will be buying Burnout, so who knows.  After Burnout I don't play on buying anymore games until Killzone 2, Little Big Planet, and GT5.

My psp has been a great console for me as well.  It was great being able to play games while I was in Russia, and it's nice to have something to fall back on when I know something long and boring is coming up.
