Rent Only

This guy who recently bought a PS3 is asking me, "What are the good games to buy," so of course, I respond with...

Well...I said, "I think there are a lot of games worth renting, but not worth buying."

That comment deserves a few qualifications

1. I have enough shit in my house
A gamecase takes up space in a house that isn't mine. Oh, yeah, I guess I should mention where blogging has got me, a bedroom in my mom's basement.

2. I beat games fairly quickly
I marathon to the end and then tend not to feel any particular attachment to it. Dead Space is the exception, but I bought that game when I didn't have the money to buy that game and that always makes a thing more important that it should be.

3. I don't do multiplayer
I don't really have the friends or roommmates around to play split-screen, and I'm a shy online gamer, so I don't have a lot of PS Network friends. Also, there haven't been a lot of multiplayer modes or whatever in games I've played recently that were all that appealing. I like Warhawk. The SF4 multiplayer thing is cool, but the game itself is frustrating, so what's the point there?

So, there. Why own when you can rent? I feel this way about homes too. I make these statements in hope of consensus or controversy.
