how do you plan survive the summer drought

[Hamish Durie]

it's that time of year again where the flow of new game releases just stops entirely.
so how do you plan to shake off boredom until skyrim

 

[Sir Boss]

Well, I'm always low on cash, so it'll be no different, Besides you're forgetting about Space Marine, so it'll be no different for me

 

[tlozoot]

Same while I always pass the summer drought pinky...try to take over the world!

Erm...

Same as always: playing those games I didn't get chance to the previous games glut. This summer I've been playing Bayonetta, Metro 2033, Mario Galaxy, Fallout NV and will be playing Darksiders, Deus Ex, Enslaved, Mario Galaxy 2, From Dust and Twisted Shadow Planet...and Trenched if it ever comes out here.

Summer...drought? o,O

It's not that hot up here in Pennsylvania (could use some more rain), though I hear the Gulf Coast is pretty bad...oh you're talking about games?

[King Toasty]

Getting a job, then buying the Oblivion Anniversary Edition.

I will be an Argonian assassin.

I survive the drought like I survive the rest of the year, playing the same games over and over again until I have enough money to pay for a old game... my life sucks .

 

[Fenra]

Same as I do in every release drought, taking the time out from new games to try and finish all my half completed games, currently working on FF13, DoW2, monster hunter tri (the single player at least) and Black Ops singleplayer

I gotta stop buying so much and then never playing them!

This, Space Marine, Dues Ex... I think I'm good.

 

[Harkonnen64]

Well, I WAS drinking a lot of water, then our town's water supply got a water-born virus and we've been on boiled water alert for the past 3 days.

-.-

I miss my water...

Oh! You mean games. Uh... just replaying old classics.

 

[C2Ultima]

I'm gonna go for as many L4D achievements as I can.

 

[Mechanix]

A lot easier than previous years for me. I've been buying great games that came out a year or two ago that I couldn't play, because I know have a lot more disposable income. I've already gone through all 3 god of wars and brutal legend. Next is Darksiders and all the Assassin's Creed games.

 

[Tautology]

First finish my yearly Jak and Daxter marathon and then I'll be spending my summer with Catherine.

Also need to finish Record of Agarest War and get to Agarest War Zero. Been sitting on my desk since it came out alongside Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

If there's time, every Ratchet and Clank game.

 

[LookingGlass]

I've got about 6 games I've never played/finished before that I'm working on.

About 20 games I really enjoy are on my replay list.

About 15 older games from GoG and Steam and the like that I want to play (the original Fallout, Freespace, Planescape: Torment, X-Com: UFO Defense, etc).

Yeah, I should be fine even if all the major releases get delayed until next year, or come out this year but suck.

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

Hooray for Gamefly, for allowing me to catch up and the ten million games I missed!

I hope that answers your question.

 

[FreakSheet]

A little thing known as the Steam Summer Sale. I have such a large backlog, lack of new releases doesn't bother me.

And Team Fortress 2. Not helping my backlog.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

I've been trying old titles in the ps3 library I have not had the pleasure of hearing about. Wanting to try Valkyria Chronicles and EDF: Insect Armeggedon right now.

 

[Javarock]

Trying to finsh Fallout: New Vegas

And then Fallout 3

Good times ahead.

Also, Splashing in a few D&D Sessions.

 

[Battle Pope]

For single player, I still have New Vegas to beat (I would've beat it with my first character but I didn't like how he turned out in terms of s.p.e.c.i.a.l./perk choices), Red Dead Undead Nightmare, Dead Space 2 on Hardcore (that will be crazy), and Portal 2 (no I didn't get stuck on puzzle, not this time at least.)

For mp, Cod black ops, Red Dead, and Bad Company 2.

So I think I'm good until October. Hopefully.
