Finished God of War 3 last night. Pretty interesting ending. They did a fantastic job of tying together the entire saga all the way through this third game, from the opening credit sequence to Kratos' final, sacrificial act. The very last few minutes were surprisingly non-epic, but still powerful once I thought about it. Kudos to Sony for letting the team make the game they clearly wanted to make, and letting them give the series a definitive ending. There might be more games in this series, but they won't be direct sequels.

Finished a second LEGO game today, mainly because the power supply in my PC decided to die an hour before I had a work project due in. I can't afford a new one until a couple of paychecks clear either, as I currently have -$200 in the bank. I'm using my crappy laptop to type this. It's like every time I turn around this year, life finds a new way to shit on me. Fuck 2010.

damn, jfe2. u must have a lot of time in your hands now.

[emwearz]

Does anyone know a good site to make a list of all the games you have beaten, some look decent but are focused on collections more than completion, I know backloggery has a completed option, but its more aimed towards collecting.

Any ideas?

[alienjesus]

Actually the backloggery is pretty focused on recording what you've beaten as well as your collection as a whole. It keeps track of the percentages of unbeaten, beaten and fully completed games in your collection too. The whole idea is to use it to encourage you to beat all the games you've been ignoring

I've been playing a lot lately to keep my mind off of stuff. My son loves watching me play too, and actually loves going through my games to pick out what I should play next. It's a fun bonding experience. Now that its getting nicer outside though I probably won't be playing as many games on the weekends. The kid loves playing with his little toddler baseball set, so I predict a summer full pitching plastic baseballs to the little monster!

I'll go with alienjesus here and say that Backloggery really is a good tool for what you are looking for. I shied away from it at first, since I don't really focus so much on collecting games as much as playing ones that I enjoy. Once I joined though, I realized that it helped me keep track of what I haven't beat yet and actually inspires me to finish games more often.

Also... I beat another one.

This game was really fun but unbelievably short. I really wish it was longer, as I had a blast playing. I can totally see myself playing through this again and again in the future.
