Games Beaten: 2010

[dsheinem]

Feel free to join the marathon if you like, plenty of people already have.

Maybe later this year... but, honestly, newer games rise to the top of my backlog so often that I doubt I'd be able to do this without feeling constrained. Right now I'm playing Metro 2033 and I still have Bioshock 2 and SMG2 to start (not to mention a few other games I've started but stopped like Fallout 3 and Demon's Souls). At this point, the goal is to beat at least one game for each system I own. If I can accomplish that this year, I'll be happy.

Also, you should start listing a total

My first smart ass question to a mod:

Why? Who cares how many games you've beaten? This isn't a contest. I rolled my eyes when people started putting a number, with a larger font to add, on how many games they've beaten.

Of course it isn't a contest, it's just interesting to see how many games people have beaten without needing to count them. You should add a total too! Plus, I'd like to be able to compare from year to year how many games I have played (and at what point in the year) so a running total helps me do this.

I hope I don't come off as an ass with my updates. I'm not trying to brag, in fact I was thinking today that my number of beaten games this year is a bit embarrassing in a way. At first glance, it would seem that I have nothing better to do.

I just finished all 5 chapter of Tales of Monkey Island, I had been meaning to play them since they came out being a really big Monkey Island fan, but after MI4 I took my time. Well let me tell you, they did a great job on them, great puzzles, funny story, heaps of throw backs to the earlier games.

TOTAL: 49

Metal Slug XX is definitely a fun game that I will play again, but it only takes an hour to beat the main story and it cost me fifteen bucks. It has a ton of replay value though, so that makes up for it.

Better off to buy Anthology (though fairly poorly emulated) than 15 bucks a pop.

I finished Full Throttle as well as Bad Company 2 this passing weekend.

Yeah, Metal Slug XX was a total impulse buy for me. I actually told myself I wasn't going to buy it when I first heard about it, but once I got to the end of the demo I just decided to buy it to kill a few hours.

Full Throttle is an adventure game, right? I remember playing it when I was like 14 or 15. I thought it was cool that you could pull on that bartender's nose ring.

Did you play it on PC?

[emwearz]

Yea, you could play it on just about any system now via ScummVM, I actually have the 'classics' version which runs on newer OS's fine, HOWEVER, for some stupid reason they put a graphical filter on the game and it cant be disabled, so I ended up playing it via ScummVM so as to not have to use the filter.

Not at all. I always enjoy reading your updates.

Plus, I'd like to be able to compare from year to year how many games I have played (and at what point in the year) so a running total helps me do this.

When you phrase it like that it makes perfect sense. What the hell, I'd even add a total number next post.
