Re: Summer Game Challenge 2013 - What will you be playing?

1. Donkey Kong Country
2. Pilotwings
3. StarFox
4. John Madden Football
5. Super Mario Bros 3 (Super Mario All-Stars)
6. NBA Jam
7. Prince of Persia
8. Sunset Riders
9. Yoshi's Island
10. Chrono Trigger
Ok, I will be ready to begin as soon as I finish The 7th Saga, but on the off chance I have not beaten that by Memorial Day, then I will start then.

I'm not yet sure what my plan of attack will be. Though I think I will hit Chrono Trigger pretty early on so I can continue through it while whittling away at the shorter games.

This is a great list, and it includes some of my very favorite games. I am jealous that you are playing through some of these games for the first time.

I never liked sports games, have a personal vendetta against NBA Jam, and generally dislike platformers. For me, this is going to be a very bumpy ride. I blame Ds...that asshole.

Here's where I'm at with a few:

Skies of Arcadia Legends: Have always wanted to play it since the DC days -- Maybe an hour into this one.
Lost Odyssey: Watched a few friends play this in bits and pieces. I'm on a RPG kick lately, and I've wanted to see what Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu did with this one. So far, I'm loving it. Is it a classic, I don' know, but it's one of the best RPGs I've played on Xbox 360.

Yoshi's Island might be good enough to change your opinion. It is such a good game.

I doubt it, but my girlfriend swears she got through college with it, so we shall see.

Well...if that doesn't work, we may have to bring in the big guns a/k/a Rayman Origins. :lol:

When I come through ATL in July we can beat Sunset Riders in one go, if you want. It is one of my favorite SNES games, though better in fourplayer on the arcade. I can atleast show you the patterns for the first six stages. Those are fairly well burned into my mind.
