My New Gaming Strategy to Save Money 
Posted on November 11, 2008 at 11:41 AM.
I last lamented the fact I have no time or money to game. Well, in reality, I do have around 1-2 hours a night I can game with...usually between 8 PM and 10 PM.

The money part is not good however. I am on a teachers salary that pays my mortgage and supports my wife and 2 young boys.

I started a strategy a couple of years ago and I am beginning to see the fruits of it.

You see, I do not buy any of the big games that come out August-December. I now wait until the following summer when they drop to $20 or less.

I now have a ton of games in my collection that have come at little cost. Bioshock, Mass Effect, College Hoops 2K8, Just Cause, Two Worlds(don't laugh...I love it), Assassins Creed, PGR 4, and All-Pro Football 2K8.

These games will last me well into next year, when I can then pick up games like Fallout 3 and Fable II.

I saw Two Worlds...I still laughed. But how about just stealing the games, that sounds like the best of both worlds. Find the inner crook in yourself.

Nope, that will never happen. I would rather give up gaming first. Thanks for the comment though.

It's much easier to do it this way too, since there are so many good games coming out, at a frantic pace.
