The year is almost done, and it’s been one big crazy busy whirlwind of busy-ness. Sometimes, it’s like you just don’t have time to think… And, just when I likely need the escape of a good game is when I have the least time to immerse myself in them.

And, there are so many awesome games beckoning! A few that come to mind are Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, Fable II, Dead Space and LittleBIGPlanet. Plus “smaller” fare like Braid, Reset Generation and Portal. Never mind the fact that I’ve yet to crack open GTA4! I’m crazy busy and feeling sad.

Of well, hopefully after this week’s Leadership Forum (plus IGDA Board retreat) in San Francisco and the Montreal Game Summit the week after, things will start to calm down a bit.

Mind you, with all the flying, I have been keeping up with my reading list. Appropriately, next in the queue is CrazyBusy: Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to Snap! Strategies for Handling Your Fast-Paced Life.
