    I know, may this be the worst of my problems. :p

    But, just wondering if anyone else gets into these and what do you do.

    In the last three days I got: Space Miner, GT Racing, (and just this morning) Giana Sisters and Doom 2 RPG. ALL great games. And I'm kind of torn between all of them, jumping from one to another, not really able to relax and enjoy any one wholly. Anyone else have times like these? What do you do?

    Oh, and the kicker: I also have Bioshock 2 sitting still in its box, untried, since early this morning. :/

    What you need to do is concentrate one only one or two games at a time(or in my case, one page of games), and then you need to send Bioshock 2 to me right now so it does not distract you ;)

    Hehe, I've been in this situation for months! :eek:

    Best is to pick an app of each genre - stick to those until you finish (or get sick of ;)) 'em!

    ya i agree. i have not bought broken sword yet cuz i need to beat BASS and i have not started infinity project yet cuz i need to beat NOVA first. and i got infinity proj in december:rolleyes:

    also, it helps to stay away from pick up and plays. some of them are fun, but for me, i pass most of them by. i like games where i feel satisfied after completing them.

    You need to start playing Bioshock 2. And maybe go on the Maury Povich show to deal with this "problem"

    You can just send me all your iTunes credit so that you will not be able to buy any more games and you can concentrate on the ones you have...problem solved!

    The only game I bought in the past few weeks is GT Racing, which was only yesterday.

    I'm still playing Labyrinth 2 (put over 55.5 hours into the game), and going back to games I've finished like JCS, and reinstalling older games like fastlane and having fun with those. nothing new really interests me much

    I'm down to a total standstill. Haven't bought a game in so long. Have absolutely no cash helps, but even if I did, there's nothing really grabbing my attention, kinda like what wootbean said. Everything I see is just someone trying to put a retro, console, or clone experience in the appstore. The last two games I really had fun with, and I mean genuine "I cannot put this down" were JCS and Peggle. I might go through them again since I had to restore to factory condition. But honestly, I've been using the apps Instapaper and iFiles more than any game.
