So far, so not-so-great..

A Slow Start


      For those interested in my second project, you'll be interested to know that it's off to a slow start.  Of the list I mentioned earlier, of which two games I should have completed by now, I have touched none.  Now, part of this is that I picked up some side work which has kept be busy.  The other part of this is that I put two weeks into FarCry 4, which I knew was going to end up on that list one way or another, so long as I didn't purchase it myself.

   Beyond that, two weeks I spend playing Need For Speed Rivals and Grim Fandango instead of games on my list since I just couldn't decide which game on the list to start with.

    Partly because my PC is dedicated to work right now and is not a comfortable gaming machine.

  So I'm going to put it to a vote, for whomever reads this, which game should I start first?  I'm going to pick a few and go with what gets the popular reaction.

   From the list:

  Psychonauts

  Tomb Raider (2013 reboot)

  Ico

  Red Dead Redemption

  Uncharted 3

  Killzone 3


  Popular choice wins, the above is a random mix from the 90s to recent.  I've also wrote a big post on FarCry 4, which I adored but the post got deleted somehow.  So I have to redo that, sadly.

  In the meantime, I'm going to play the crap out of the Grim Fandango HD remake which I highly recommend.

A New Year a New Project?

A New Year a New Project?

      

        As the year drew to an end, I began to consider whether or not to continue my blog.  And if so, in what form?  365 games seemed like a feat to most and I certainly haven't played 730 games in order to continue another year.  (At least, I don't think I have.)  But I also didn't want to stop this project flat.  I'm certainly not going to spam everyone's Facebook for another year of posts, (I know it's not for everyone.) but I would like to continue posting every week or so.  

      As I've told a few people this year I have a 'gaming plan'.  Over the past few years I've collected, both physically and digitally, a number of games I planned to play but have yet to do so.  This list has grown quite a bit and I really felt the need to play these games before buying any new ones.  No matter how enticing it is when a new title is released, or I discover an older game I didn't know about.  This list is upwards of fifty titles, some of which are small indie game and some of which are massive AAA titles.  I decided to prioritize particular titles and quelled it down to about 26 games, at that number I can dedicate roughly two weeks of spare time to each game and finish within a year.  I know that some new titles will pop up here and there and my plan is far from exact, but I'm excited to go through and pare down this list until I've finally played all these new and old games that I've continued to set aside.  In some cases for almost 10 years.

    So this is my Year in Gaming 2015.  Some of these I've already started, a couple of these I still need to purchase and I know a few will be added in.  But I will most likely be blogging about each title as I make my way through it here and there.  Nothing major, and input about games to add and other things are more than welcome.

   Thanks to all who commented and rallied me on this past year and sorry to those whom I spammed on Facebook!
