Here's an idea. Carry an iPod Touch for games and a phone for other things.

sorry man for getting flamed but come on trust me there is nothing wrong with your batt its just games + screen on = dead batt even with a good batt so dont worry nothing wrong with your batt would happen to all droids

From this battery test, the user got 7+ hours, while using google maps navigation, playing mp3, and having the screen on brigtest for the whole time. Take a look:

I really don't know how he did it. Like you, my battery seems to die pretty fast if I game sparingly, or stream a radio program. It also might be helpful to read the following article regarding droid charging habits:

Remember that there are MANY things that can be running in the background AND other factors that can effect batter performance. Not the least of which is you signal strength. Having a really good signal strength with little to no background tasks (like checking emails) really saves battery. Go on the opposite side (spend most of the day with only 1 or 2 bars) and have several email accounts checking to often and the radio alone will kill your battery.
