Either way I like Exhuminator's approach at tackling the exclusives. That's probably going to be my approach when I look back on the 360/PS3 from here on out. Makes it a lot less daunting. I'm just about done clearing out my current PS3 backlog, literally just need to beat Sly 3 HD and then Armored Core 4 Answer and I'm done! (there were some newer PS3 games I dropped though, like Yaizabasomething Ninja Gaiden Z that was dreadful, or Lost Planet 3 which was boring, Lightning Returns, Kingdom Hearts HD, etc)...
So yeah.
The Haze thing still cracks me up though, seeing Free Radical on there. I have a bad hunch that honestly, the Timesplitters games have probably aged terribly. I remember not even liking them as much as Goldeneye/Perfect Dark when they were new at the time. But I guess they get some credit for being one of the earliest FPS's to use dual analog sticks and a somewhat more modern layout.
I won't touch any first person games on the 360/PS3 again though unless they're exclusives. Otherwise I've rebought like all that stuff on Steam and it really is a different experience playing them at way better resolutions and framerates. I guess I've become a stickler with that for this genre.

Future Perfect is still very good. I never played the other two.

Re: Games Acquired 2017
Yeah Future Perfect holds up pretty well. The first two TimeSplitters did not age well though, to say the least. If you never played them you're missing nothing.

Future Perfect is of course the one I never played. 
The concept of that one sounded awesome. I'll pick it up sometime. I don't think the whole trilogy is on Xbox, but that one is I believe.

Best version of the original Brandish! Was my 2015 GOTY. Absolutely amazing experience. One of the greatest dungeon crawls of my life. I am so stoked to see how you react to it (despite not having bump combat).
Definitely complete both Ares and Dela campaigns! They are both unique experiences with equal levels of enjoyment.

Re: Games Acquired 2017
Exhuminator, do you only do Brand New orders from Amazon? I noticed most of your recent hauls were from ebay.
For me that might be my approach from now on. It just seems far too trisky to buy older used videogames off Amazon, namely from the PSX-PS2 era, or even the PS3. Without pics from the sellers, you just never know if you're going to get that used Blockbuster case, stickers that take up the entire backside of a jewel case, etc.
I hope for the most part people take care of cases more thesedays. But a lot of people definitely didn't give a crap at all back in the day. I even remember knowing some people that threw out their PSX cases and just had CD binders for their games. Yikes.
