I buy a new game about every month. 60 dollars one month(720 a year) isn't that bad. But games of November and December I usually just wait for Christmas.
How do you afford your games?

i sell my kidneys. so far, i've play half life 2 and im waiting for the left kidney to grow back before i can buy some more games
okay, so honestly, last couple of years i had a student loan, and spend like maybe £100 in 2 years on games, before that though i had a couple of jobs and nearly nothing to do with the money apart from buy games, so i stacked up a pretty good collection in about 5 years.

I've been really skeptical about new games after Other M disappointed me and Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Portal 2 simply satisfied me (of course, I had high hopes). It's a good thing, too, since Duke Nukem Forever sucked and Alice was, well let's say "flat-chested".
I have a part time job with which I buy clothes, video games, and pay for my cellphone bill. I usually have all the money I need to buy the games I want.
I almost never buy games at full price.
Even when I need to have a game (Skyrim!) I'll be shopping around on the internet for the best deal. Shops are almost universally more expensive.

No seriously , i buy maybe 2-3 games on release a year , the rest are games that have dropped in price or used . But since i like rpgs more than any other genres , the games keep me busy for quite a while reducing my need for a new game . So yeah , the longer the games are , less games i buy per year , more money in the bank . My suggestion to OP is , buy games that are at least a year old , sure you can't talk about the newest game to all your friends , but if thats the reason you play games as opposed to playing games for fun , your doing it wrong.
By not buying anything else ... I only need my games, my pizza, and some Internet porn to survive.

I pretty much pay like $5 dollars a game working off that and steamgamesales.com. Also, discounts: I paid $33 to preorder Witcher 2.

I sell my ass for Hot Pockets and the money I would usually spend on Hot Pockets I spend on games. Don't ask how I get my Hot Pockets money.
I don't piss away my money on alcohol or cigarettes like a chump.
All you smokers out there don't expect any sympathy from me. "Oh, it's so hard to quit!" Then you shouldn't have started in the first place, dumbass.

Good ol' fashioned saving, first off.. if you put a little aside starting early on, you'll have the money when the game actually releases. Example: I know I want the Last Guardian at release. It comes out next year. If I stick 3-5 bucks in jar once a week starting now, I'll have more than enough to buy it when it does release.
Aside from that- buy used. It's cheaper and you get a chance to see if the games you only sorta-wanted end up being crap and not worth your time before you buy. (Although it can backfire if a game gets rare and goes up in value instead...) Also, if you're in the US, signup to get Gamestop emails and wait for an E-rewards invite. Take online surveys, earn free Gamestop gift cards. (This is actually how I'm paying for the Last Guardian. I have card #2 on the way, if I get a third I'll have enough to pay in full and have leftover money. If I don't it's only $20ish dollars out of pocket.)

I'm a porn star in my free time.
Ok, joking aside. I sell a lot of my games. If I don't play it anymore, I sell it. Also I get paid by my parents to do stuff sometimes.
