I have a headache from laughing so much tonight. The gang got together and played some Mixed Messages, and then we went on to some LOL. If you have a group of local friends that enjoy playing games, you need to have these two titles! You can get both for really cheap, and the amount of fun you’ll have is endless. Man, I need to get some rest to stop my head from pounding! Whenever you are tonight, I hope you had a great day as well. See you in a few, short hours. Video games are a ton of fun, and they can provide all sorts of experiences that you can’t get from anything else. While books, movies, music and TV all have their benefits over gaming, we all know that video games allow for adventures that those other medias can’t compete with. Unfortunately, those experiences come at quite a high price. Being a gamer that wants to keep up with the current titles is no easy task, and it’s usually the wallet that is hardest hit. Back in the day, game prices weren’t any better. I can remember paying upwards of $70 for a Super Nintendo title. When you’re talking about buying games on an allowance, one Super Nintendo game could blow your entire savings! You better hope that game you were picking up was good. Even if it sucked, you would play the hell out of it. You didn’t want to waste $70, and a bad game wasn’t going to stop you from having some fun! Even though gaming was quite pricey back then, I believe that things have gotten even worse now. You no longer buy a game at a store, and end the wallet transactions there. Now, when you get a game home, there are all sorts of extra fees to get the full experience. DLC ends up pulling even more money out of you if you want to see all that a game has to offer. Sure, you can hold back from purchasing any of that extra content, but sometimes those downloads offer up new gameplay elements, storyline details and other mechanics that actually complete the experience. Games don’t have set prices anymore…the tally just keeps growing and growing. How do you deal with the price of gaming in today’s day and age? Are you a newcomer to games that thinks nothing of it? Are you an older gamer that is floored by just how much it can cost to play a full game? I know that I think things are getting a little out of hand. I’m curious to know what you guys think, and see how you deal with the current pricing layout.
