Hello folks, last year I had a thread to help rearrange my backlog into a bit more fun of an experience. I really enjoyed the results of the thread and decided to give it another go. I'll put all my games (under spoiler, by system) down at the bottom, and you can just reply with whatever games you want me to play. Whatever you want to contribute is totally cool with me, if you want to go through the whole thing or just give me a top 5 or anything will help. I know that some of you are going to tell me to get rid of some of the games, and trust me I'm already trying to trim my backlog down from 131 games to around 95. My CAG anniversary is the 14th, so I'll compile the results then and start my new year off with my new backlog. Thanks again and Happy New Year!

A little back story if you need it. First off I was too lazy to take the prices I paid out since I copied all this from my backlog post. Secondly, I only bought 2 games last year. Halo: Reach and Super Mario All-Stars. The reason I did this is because after joining CAG in Jan of 2009, I basically bought every $10 (and a few more expensive) game that I came across and before I knew it I had a backlog of ridiculous proportions. Running out of money also happened, but still. So after not really playing any new good 2010 games, I decided that I'm going to rearrange/trim down the backlog and then let my self buy some games that I can play with my friends. Hopefully this works out well. Thanks again for the help.

A little back story if you need it. First off I was too lazy to take the prices I paid out since I copied all this from my backlog post. Secondly, I only bought 2 games last year. Halo: Reach and Super Mario All-Stars. The reason I did this is because after joining CAG in Jan of 2009, I basically bought every $10 (and a few more expensive) game that I came across and before I knew it I had a backlog of ridiculous proportions. Running out of money also happened, but still. So after not really playing any new good 2010 games, I decided that I'm going to rearrange/trim down the backlog and then let my self buy some games that I can play with my friends. Hopefully this works out well. Thanks again for the help.
