My god, I hate the Christmas season from a video-gaming standpoint. This isn’t 1999, when I was single and my “social life” was going to Outback Steak House with a bunch of other GameSpy nerds before coming back to play video games for the next five hours. Uh … you know what? Frankly, I’m glad that doesn’t describe me anymore.

BUT … it does make it awfully difficult to keep up with games. I mean, I had to put aside The Witcher (which I didn’t even get to until they released a special updated edition) in order to make time for Fallout 3. Somewhere in there I also want to fit Dead Space, Gears of War 2, NBA 2K9‘s association mode, Left 4 Dead, and the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV whenever it comes out. Did I mention that I’m a 31 year old adult with a full-time job who’s getting married in three weeks. I’m just a little busy, here!

On the plus side, at least when we get into the gaming death zone in February and March, I’ll probably have things to play. I’ll be like “Yeah man, GTA IV is really great” and everyone else I know who games will be like “dude, what is this, last year?” and I’ll be like “screw you!” and they’ll be like “whatever, guy who works for a video game journalism company and can’t find time to game!”

And they’ll be right. But jeez … why can’t some of these games come out in the other eight months of the year?!

More Voices coming this week. Stay tuned.
