Trial versions. Aggrivating or Enlightening. I suppose it matters what you want out of life, how much you want to game, and how much money you have. For instance. Lets say you like Golf games and a new game comes out. GOLF Masters 07 or whatever. Well the website lets you download 1 hole of golf from the game to play on your computer. Is it a good thing to test drive the game or ......Is is horrible to only get one hole. Then you are sitting there thinking this game is great, I would love this game. So you go online to order it and its 50 bucks or more. Now you are sitting there loving a game you cant play and dont know if you can give the 50 bucks.
I guess my issue is this. I know there are hundreds of games out there right now I would love to play but cant afford. I budget for about 100 dollars a Year for video games. Now that would be like 2 new normal games or about 5 games at the 19.99 value that some games start out at or have been marked down to after a few months. But like I said, I know in 08 there will be at least 30-40 new games I would get addicted to playing. But I can buy only 2-5. So are trials good to help me eliminate the numbers down or will they only aggrivate me b/c I wont be able to get all of the wonderful games.
For many years I've taken the approach to not play trials unless I know I could buy the game. Otherwise its just a waste of my time. I'm not sure this blog makes any sense. I'm tired and ready to sleep now.

I know exactly what you mean. It's hard to not run out and buy every game that has a cool commercial. Heaven knows that for every animated film my son demands to see, he in turn begs for the game. We've gone to renting them before purchasing them, as many aren't as fun as they first appeared. Case in point, Mario Party 8. Who in their right mind wants to read all that dialog? Not me. Your blog made sense to me. :)
