every title I buy now probably just means 1 more on the shelf that I never actually play.  :(

Even Bioshock??? WHAt???

IGNORED!!!

I'm not sure if you can read this, what with the IGNORing and all...  But I will definitely pick up Infinite, maybe in about 6 months or so, and it will mean that I will never actually play Splinter Cell 5, Shadow of the Colossus, or, heaven forbid, Fallout Vegas.  Every title I buy now means one on the shelf won't get played... but it probably won't be that title, if you follow.

I'll probably wait to see what the next Xbox looks like, but I may just divert my funds into a triumphant return/embarassed retreat to PC gaming.  I'm sure Infinite will look x2 as good on a $1000 PC as my 8.5 year old 360.  If I decide to go PC again, I'll pick up Infinite for that.

I played [CoO and GoS] a little, they felt a lot like the PS2 games, only with really awful graphics in comparison and with a bit more of a claustrophobic feel to them.

Really awful in comparison to the PS2 games?  I had heard that they were at least on par, but I haven't booted them up, so I don't know.

Dead Island was a game I loved all the way to the end, and was disappointed when it was over. I remember thinking it was fantastic, but a little too short. My c-op partner and I played the campaign through 2 and a half times to get to get our levels up.

That's encouraging!  I tend to trust your taste in games, so hopefully we will at least feel gratified that we played through to the end once!

I'm playing the Asian girl who seems to have developed a real glass jaw of late.  I recently started using a long handled axe which has helped keep the undead at bay, but I have resigned myself to constant deaths just being part of the game.
