I love video games. No matter how old I get, I don’t think I will ever outgrow them. There are a bunch I want now and I can’t afford. If I had the money I would pick up Super Smash Bros Brawl, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and put a preorder in for Grand Theft Auto 4. I doubt that I will be able to pick up any of those games anytime soon, but it would be nice if I get get a large amount of money at once so I could.
What I have been doing is taking the free Blockbuster coupon each month and going out and renting a game from them. I play it intensely for a week and most likely get tired of it by the time I bring it back. This keeps me from wanting to go out and buy games. Later this month I hope to do the same with Grand Theft Auto 4, but it is such a popular game I don’t even think I would be able to rent it for a few weeks at least.
Renting games isn’t the only way I keep my mind off the new games that I want. I also play free games online. There was this one game that I was playing a while back, Nitto 1320 Legends – Free Live Online Drag Racing Game, that kept me from wanting to play Burnout: Paradise for a few weeks. It is a really cool game, you race against other people online for free. You don’t need to worry about steering, since it is a drag racing game, you just need to control the pedals. I felt like I was in the scene of The Fast and the Furious, when they are at race wars. It is definitely a great game and anyone fiending for some racing without spending money I suggest you try it out.
