Summer Game Challenge 2013 - Begin when ready!

[dsheinem]

yeah Tomb Raider stays. The ones I'm considering possibly swapping are in bold:

Beats of Rage
Eternal Champions
Eye of the Beholder
Hexen
I Have No Mouth
Nights Into Dreams
Panzer Dragoon
Space Channel 5
Tomb Raider
Wipeout

I'm thinking of possibly swapping in some stuff on PSP in their place just so I have the option of some portable gaming throughout the Summer as well. I'll have to think about it though...

ditch Beats

you quoted me before I bolded.

I'll be ready whenever I can 1. finish Valkyria Chronicles and 2. actually get my list finalized.

Both of which I'm dragging my feet on.

After all the times you've wanted to play Space Channel 5 for Together Retro, you're gonna take it off your list?

Honestly, I feel like it's a better fit for the summer challenge - its pretty short, and whilst it's certainly very replayable, I don't feel like it has the high score/perfect run appeal of a lot of other rhythm games.

Do you have Loco Roco on PSP? Thats on my list.

[noiseredux]

I do have LocoRoco and never gave it a shot... So I could consider it. I'll give myself until tomorrow night to finalize the list.

I was also considering Dracula X and maybe a Final Fantasy. Though I've played pretty much every FF game I never seem to stick with them long enough to beat.

FWIW, Locoroco doesn't really meet with my approval as a "classic". It's sort of a critical darling that never sold very well or had much influence on other titles...it is also fairly recent.

[noiseredux]

Not sure I'm sold on Loco for Summer Gaming, but brainstorming nonetheless.

Pfft, nothing meets your approval as a classic though

Actually something like 80-90% of what people have chosen is fine by me. Most of your list is ok, for example.

Locoroco, though? Nope.

Eh, a critical darling that's 7 years old and was one of the early defining exclusives for it's platform fits my definition just fine.

Besides, I need some portable presence on my list or there's no way I'll get through it all, and I don't have many suitable portable games left

Edit: And on the plus side, if you only have a problem with 1 game in my list of 11, that still leaves me with enough classics for the full set of 10
