So I've been inspired by a CAG on here JustYourAverageJoe (who was inspired by a Neogaf user) to try to create a fun way to get rid of our PC backlogs (thanks a lot Tony).
The rules as described by JustYourAverageJoe are pretty simple. You pair up with another person and they pick 4 games (and you pick 4 of theirs) from your backlog that you must try your best to complete in the month of February, the games can be brand new to you or you could have already started them. It seemed like there was a bit of interest in this so I figured we could use this thread to find another person to team up with to try to complete the challenge. I'm making this a wiki so everyone can add to it and hopefully add the two people working together and the 4 games each of them will beat. Enjoy!
Note: If you cannot, or do not wish to, pair up with someone else, you don't have to. Please feel free to participate by yourself!
Rules:
Eligible Games:
- The game must have defined end point or goal, either through a traditional campaign or through a set amount of content to be played. Infinite games, or games without a defined end point, such as Audiosurf, should not be picked.
- A game is considered complete once the endpoint of the game is reached. You do not have to complete all content in the game for it to be considered complete. However, if you wish to 100% once it's been picked, please free to!
- The game can already have been started before it's picked for this. You're not restricted to solely unplayed games. However, it defeats the purpose to pick a game that's almost finished, and where's the fun in that?
- The game does not have to be on Steam.
- You can work with your partner to pick a reasonable list of games. If your partner chooses all 200+ hour games, you should probably get another partner.
This is entirely honor-based and for fun. You are encouraged to share your achievements, screenshots, etc. to show your progress, but this is by no means required.
