Another Gaming Rut

Yes I am in another gaming rut.  I have so many games to play, but I have no interest in playing 99% of them.  I am the 1%.  I have so many barely, or unplayed games it is pathetic.  I look at my desktop icons, and most of the games I don't want to play.

It is weird because usually the first day or two I am loving the games.  I get distracted with another game, and than I lose all interest in the previous game.  I need to really stop buying games, and try to figure out what I really want to play.

It seems that nothing is holding my interest except one game.  A game I paid a mere $15 for, and I have already put in close to 50 hours.  What is this game?  It is Orcs Must Die.  I just am having so much fun with such a simple tower defense game.

I have tried multiple MMO's lately, and in five minutes I am ready to uninstall.  I think possibly I have lost my gaming mojo.  I just don't understand what Orcs Must Die has that keeps me glued to my computer more than any game I have played in this last year.

Yesterday I played Orcs Must Die just to do some achievements.  I unlocked quite a few like killing 300 orcs with fireballs, killing 100 with acid bombs, clearing a level using no traps, and etc.

I am about to throw my computer out the window though on The Corner nightmare mode.  I have tried it so many times now, and I haven't been able to get five skulls.  It is enough to drive you to excessive drinking.

Anyways I think I am going to hold off on any new game purchases for a while, and get past this burnout stage, or whatever you want to call it.  I am even going to stay away from F2P to focus on getting my gaming mojo back.
