CCV: My Backlog, Let Me Show You It.

Better almost late than never I suppose. :)

 

To be honest the last few months have been great for making progress on my backlog. I've beaten Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Picross 3D (although that was more a labour of love rather than just "getting through it"), Bayonetta, and Jet Grind Radio! I still have a few immediate ones I want to beat though, as well as plenty of Playstation 2 games I've... well to be perfectly honest I'm not sure how I acrued most of them. I think they were gifts...

 

Anyways, here we go! Sadly none of these involve co-op. Guess I'm just good at getting those done without stopping. ;)

 

Darksiders (360): A friend loaned me this and Bayonetta over the holidays. I really didn't give either of those games much attention when they first came out, but they were both brought up enough during GOTY discussions I got the itch. Bayonetta's out of the way and I've made some healthy progress into Darksiders so this will almost definitely be the next one I'm done with. It's a very good game and it's a real shame that I over looked it, and I've been told I haven't even gotten to where the game really gets good.

Jet Set Radio Future (XBox): We've all seen the Sega GT/JSRF disc set a million times at stores. I've been tempted to get this ever since I got my 360, but it wasn't until after playing Jet Grind Radio last month that I finally bit the bullet and got it. I've only played the tutorial but already I think I'll like it more than the original. Looks to have the same funky and colourful style with some improvements to the infuriating controls that the Dreamcast original had.

Fallout: New Vegas (360): This was one I got over the holidays using the staff discount at my temp retail job. It's a used copy so I got it for $25 (what it was giving for credit at the time). I put over 260 hours into Fallout 3 and the expansions, and I'm looking forward to this sucking away more of my life. I'm probably going to hold off on this one for a while longer though. I'd like to have most of my plate clear as I don't think I'll be playing much else when this game's turn comes. :D

Dead Rising (360): I last played this 3 years ago. I did the zombie genocide run first thing so I could have the real mega buster when I wanted to play it properly. Of course that day still hasn't come... someday, before I sell it again hopefully.

Sneak King (360): I know what you're thinking, but hush. I saw it for like $4, and I'm wondering if my idea for an Assassin's Creed: Brother multiplayer mod would work out or not.

 

Now, I could go on and on with titles for the PS2, PC, SNES, and Wii. But most of those systems are very far away or not in a state to run any games anytime soon. :( So I'll leave you with what I can run on my 360. :)

Portal - meh?

Played Portal last night. I remeber it being more fun. Well at least I thought I remebered it being more fun. Makes me second guess my desire to play Portal 2. Unrelated note. Bulletstorm will be waiting for me tomorrow when I get out of work. Only problem. Still haven't finished my second walkthrough of Dead Space. ...

PAX East 2011

Who's going?! I just got my tax return today so I'll be buying my Tram tickets. Who knows, maybe we'll be riding the same tram and we can DS it up. Let's see a show of hands of who is going. It'd be neat to have a Co-Optimus meetup. ...

Rebuilding the game library

Take for example the new Splinter Cell I found it in Gamestop for 17.99 which has lead me to embark on an adventure of will power to avoid buying every game new (a few exceptions to this) and instead wait for the price drop. I know this sort of screws the devs out of money and I will be bowing to the dark lords of gamestop, but to be honest
