Are games worth what we pay?

Not in the slightest. I look at my rack full of games and I just want to punch myself in the face for I never play any of them, and never really enjoyed many of them.

I just count. $60, $50, $50, man I can't believe I paid $50 for that. And it just depresses me.

OK so you are not going to get a game straight away but its worth it in the end.

Dude, even HALO 2 still sells at £30.

But if you played each one to death, would they then be worth the money? I do the same thing, with countless games that I haven't touched for more than half an hour. That's not to say they're bad games, and I can't say they're not worth the money I spent on them--because they likely are. It's up to us how we use them, not the developer. Me and you just have this compulsive buying problem! ;>

For games that I have spent a lot of time on, finish all the way through and still go back and play, I'd say are fully worth the original asking price. Heck, for the amount of hours I've had out of it over my life, Super Mario World should have cost me hundreds. :3
