I’ve mostly given up on buying new video games — at least until I can afford an upgrade to a Playstation 4 without fear of divorce. I’m content to play my copy of FIFA 13 on PS3 when I have a few spare moments, but for the most part, my gaming career remains in semi-retirement. I really don’t play any other game and haven’t for a few years now.
