No matter what, the game you can't quite fit into your schedule is a game you like. It's usually just a case of not liking it quite enough to ditch the game (or games) you spend most of your time on. So what game would you love to play if you had more time for it? Is it an old favorite you've moved past, a new game that interests you, or a title that's long been on your radar but never quite moved into being a must-play venture?
The Daily Grind: What game would you play if you had the time?

There are a lot of MMOs on the market at the moment, and while it can be argued that many of them are drawing inspiration from the same well, there's still plenty of variety available. You can roam in post-apocalyptic Nevada, soar through a variety of spaceways, or slay a truly staggering number of different dragons in the myriad worlds available online. But you are limited by one force no matter what -- you only have so much time during a single day. That means that there's necessarily a game you'd love to play, but you just don't have the time.

EVE
There is absolutely no point if you can not invest time in it

Being a family man I can generally only play one MMO game at a time as I like to dedicate what time I have exclusively to it (plus there loads of non-MMO games I would love to play as well). At the moment that game is Rift but I gave up playing DCUO due to lack of time. I would also like to play WoW again at some point as well as trying Eve and Fallen Earth.
When Secret World comes out I will have a massive decision to make as judging by the GDC11 footage, that games look awesome :)

EVE Online first comes to mind. Earthrise if they manage to get things sorted out.

I love EvE more than any other mmo, but there is no point in even atempting to play it if you don't have time (witch I don't). Also I would play Fallen Earth, from my perspective it doesn't require much time, but I still don't have enough. Last but not least I'd play DarkFall, just like EvE it requires loads of time.
I now enjoy playing Allods. I always loved the game but the cash shop killed the game for me. Now that fear of death is no longer a problem I started playing again if within 2 weeks the developers don't completely ruin the game I'll start buying incense and XP scrolls, maybe bigger storage also. Man I love the game :) just wish more ppl would see it as I do.

More RIFT :)

I'd have to agree with more Rift. Also I'd pay some much needed attention to console games. Need to actually finish dragon age I and Mass effect I and II...so little time :-(

I gotta say EVE online for me too.

Guild Wars. Its currently 3rd on my list of games I'm playing right now, and I would like to make some headway before GW2 comes out. Also, non-MMO Oblivion, too. I love the Elder Scrolls series, played Morrowind all the way through, could not get into Oblivion due to a lack of playable factions, but I still want to play it through before I get to play Skyrim.
And as for a game that I love the concept for, but REALLY don't have time for... Fallen Earth.

Ahhh yeah. Good call. I still haven't finished Dragon Age 1, and DA2 just dropped yesterday. So many good games, so little time...

Yeah, EVE, totally.

Hmm...this is a hard one. If I really had all the time in the world I would probably have liked to have kept up with my first EQ or Ultima Online character. So much history over 11 years of gaming.
Otherwise, I'd like to have done more of the higher level Mabinogi stuff. There's just so much of it, and so much of it is so different. You can be in a hot air balloon attacking dragons at one point, crafting another. Makes me wish I had more time to get to it.

If I had lots of time, Aion. Always liked that game, but time investment to run ratio was too low.
But pretty much Rift. Would love to buy.
