Too Many Games To Play? You’re Not Alone

Every Tuesday, a dozen new role-playing epics and cinematic shooters and thousand-year-spanning strategy games are released. All of them are billed as the most important experience of my life by every videogame site I read. All of them are covered in the New York Times as a cultural event. All of them feature mind-blowing graphics and genre-bending gameplay with celebrity voice-acting and Pulitzer-worthy writing.

And here’s what’s really crazy: It’s all true.

Videogame Industry, you’;re literally releasing too many good games. When I was a kid, not only were there less games, but there were less good games. Boogerman was one of the 10 best games of 1994. Boogerman. You know, the game with the superhero who shoots boogers? Top 10. With a bullet.

To look at it from another angle, a Legend Of Zelda game was probably the 10th-best game last year. If you told me that 15 years ago I would’ve drank, because weeping is so much less subtle.

You know the thing… it’s really is too true! Gaming is too good now, bars are being set higher and the worst point is I’ve got AAA titles – note, plural – that I’ve bought and not popped into my console.
