A Happy Complaint

After a disastrous Christmas, where illness persuaded me to close my eyes and try and sleep for a couple of weeks, I'm finally getting back into the swing of things. Gaming is back on the agenda (now I can look at a screen without feeling like my eyes are about to explode out the back of my skull), and there's a list of things that need getting through.

I was able to play a bit of both Assassin's Creed III and Dishonored, and I spent a bit more time playing Halo 4 (though perhaps not as much as I originally expected I would). Ideally I'd like to have completed all three of them by now, but two still remain unfinished and the new games keep piling up.

The backlog of games is entirely self inflicted. Like many people I took advantage of the THQ fire sale, and picked up a huge collection of games in the Steam sale. That means I've got Darksiders II and Saints Row: The Third to get through, and that's just for starters. And that's not including the indie games I just picked up in the latest Indie Royale bundle, they need some attention at some point.

In short, there's lots to be playing, and not enough hours in the day to do to finish them all. I'll have to prioritise. There's so many incredible games out there, making sure you give them all the time they deserve can be tricky, especially when life can be so frantic.

It's a happy complaint. When you consider all of the cracking games coming up in 2013, and think about all the brilliant games from last year that still need a little love, it's clear to see that I've got a very busy year ahead. I can't wait.
