Here are some games that could keep you occupied over the Summer

Tyranitar24 | June 25, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 2

GameDaily describes a "Summer Fling" as a video game that will keep you occupied for a few days and after that, you won't want anything to do with it. GameDaily gives you nine games that might do just that. Games on the list include Battlefield: Bad Company and Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy.

There are two types of video games -- Keepers, games so good you'll keep them for decades, and Flings, games you'll play for a few solid days before trading them for store credit.

These nine games round out our list of the 2008's best summer flings -- if summer camp taught us anything, it's that these hot, sweaty months between spring and fall are the perfect time for more casual relationships.

I disagree with Bad Company and Mercenaries 2.

Bad Company has online and ranking up to keep your attention and mercenaries is just generally an open world game with online co-op.

I can see both of them lasting me more than a couple of days.

Guitar hero is a good choice and that football one, both should last more than a few days unless you play all day for those few days >__>

  I wanna get it but I will probably wait until the price goes down as it's pretty short and doesn't have much replay value apparently.

Why are there game-adaptations of films on this list? I realize they don't expect it to be amazing, but come on, choose something else.

I'm not sure I'll get any of those...

Well, once MGS4 enters my PS3, I'll be set for two months, if not more!

The only game that will occupy me for the summer will me Guitar Hero: On Tour.

None of those seem very occupying for me. And I don't trade in my games after I'm done with them anyway. I just let them sit on my shelf forever. I still have my gameboy color games I'll never play again.
