CAGiversary!
Strictly speaking about titles currently on your backlog, nothing that's yet to release or yet to enter your collection. Which games do you currently have backlogged that you firmly plan to beat before the end of this calendar year?
Here's mine; to further paint just how anal I am about these things, I have most of my backlog arranged in a specific order I plan to play through them, just to keep my goal-oriented mind at peace and with a clear line of progression. There may be a high-profile title here or there that might "cut in line" to be played upon release, but I think that some nose-to-the-grindstone gaming can bring me current, finished with this generation of gaming just in time for the holiday price drops on PSP or XBox 360 (which I have absolutely no business looking at with this giant list staring me in the face). Anyway, here's my 2006 backlog as it stands now, that I will attempt to clear before New Year's Eve.
(oh, and I know, some of these are morbidly old to only be getting to NOW. I'm not so much with the promptness sometimes, though at least I'm disciplined enough to stick to my playing order)
1) Pikmin 2
2) Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
3) Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille Zur Macht (yes, the first one. I suck)
4) Doom 3
5) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (again, yes, it's the first one)
6) Psychonauts
7) Dead to Rights (the first one. Trust me, you couldn't mock me more than I mock myself for just getting to this in 2006)
8) Ico (replay, in preparation for...)
9) Shadow of the Colossus
10) Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves
11) Destroy All Humans!
12) Indigo Prophecy
13) Killer 7
The rest aren't firmly placed for a playing order yet, as I expect other games will enter the backlog with more urgency, but the following rounds out my backlog and would make me completely current if I beat them all:
-- Area 51
-- Cold Fear
-- Conker: Live and Reloaded
-- Far Cry: Instincts
-- Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented
-- Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones
-- The Punisher
-- Simpsons: Hit and Run
-- Still Life
-- Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse
-- Viewtiful Joe 2
This of course discounts all of the games already out that I may eventually own, as well as stuff yet to come out for this generation of consoles. At this rate, I might be caught up on gaming before I'm dead. By about twenty minutes.
Your turn. Whatchoogamin' this year?
