Hey everyone!
I think I'm not the only collector out there who has a lot of games in his collection which were only bought for the sake of having them and have never been played.
To bring those collectors back in touch with their collection, we came up with the Collectors Experiment.
In this experiment we challenge you to choose three games in your collection that you have no previous experience with.
After playing these games you can report back in this topic or, even better, make a video about it!
Let everyone here know how you enjoyed, or disliked the games you tried out and join in on the discussion about the games others tried out.
Through this experiment we hope to get you back in touch with your collection and maybe discover a hidden gem or two!
The rules are also explained in this video by Xed :
The original topic where it all started can be found here: http://bit.ly/fhGZpn
Are you gamer enough to join this experiment? I hope you are!
I hope you like the idea and I'm looking forward to your participation!

I don't think I'm gamer enough for this one.

I'd be up that. I have a whole stack of SMS games and 30 or so PS2 games that need attention. I'm not too bad lately as I've not had the cash to spend on so many new games so I've been going thru some of the games that never got played or only got played for an hour. Its cool to discover great games on your own shelf. I'll report back when I've made my picks, need to refresh my own memory of whats stored under my bed

But if I start playing and stop collecting, then I wouldn't have to time collect the games I won't be playing? There are only so many hours in the day...

An interesting idea. I think I might join in, if only to get some games out of the backlog.
They'll be PC and handheld games, though.
