Games you are catching up on....

Hey all

With the recent big rush of titles out before and just after Christmas and the last few weeks (see Fallout 3, Animal Crossing, Killzone 2, Street Fighter 4, etc) I was wandering whether you had a bit of a pile to be catching up with before you were buying any more games?

For me I have Fallout 3 and/or Oblivion to try and do as well as Blue Dragon and quite a few other games (luckily not as long as those I hope) which was a bit of a silly thing for me to get them all as now I wont be able to get Resident Evil 5 and other titles until I have done these for sense of getting worth out of the games.


Anyway, I would like to see what your completing or how you approach such a task.

I recently started playing Warriors Orochi again at the house, and it's going much faster this time around to level up and get level 4 weapons than it did the last time.  Maybe that's because I know how to do everything already.  lol

I'm working on Chrono Trigger and Disgaea DS simultaneously, waiting for a friend to come over and play Madworld, and waiting for Fallout 3 to come in the mail. I wish I had money for Street Fighter and RE5, but I'll simply have to wait. Then again, I can't say i liked RE5s demo too much. Too hectic, especially compared to 4, which is one of my favorite games of all time. 

I've started Persona FES (inspired by the GB Endurance run) and have also revisited Dragon Quest VIII having just finished DQ5 for the DS.  As I've said before, I'm on an otaku kick so I'm going back and looking at the better JRPGs that I missed in the past.  I've even added Rogue Galaxy and Wild Arms 4 to my Gamefly queue.  And, inbetween the Japanese stuff and explorations of Killzone 2, I'm still grinding my way through Mass Effect 1.  I practically left regular gaming for a year or so during my WOW experience.  Most games could be considered "catch up" following that period in my life.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot

I am probably not going to be buying any new games until I get through at least half of these games. Probably going to spend all of 2009 catching up only to buy many of 2009's games on the cheap in 2010. I too, am tempted to purchase Resident Evil 5, but I know I should really play these games first.

I love how Oblivion was a launch title and people are still playing it and loving it, including myself. An amazing game.

Currently, I'm trying to beat RE4, GTA IV, and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon at the same time. Wish me luck :D

Oh I did a ton of catching up over the last few months: Assassin't Creed, BioShock, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Tomb Raiser: Anniversary & Legend. I still want to go through Tomb Raider: Underworld and a few other Tom Clancy's titles, but right now I'll probably settle for a playthrough of Prince of Persia. I got it for my wife for Christmas, but never had a chance to play it yet.

I gave up buying games for the next few months as I whittle down my collection a bit.  I went from having 1-2 games I haven't touched to nearly a dozen.  Agggg.

I haven't touched Grandia III, but nothing new there.  I've had that thing for forever.  Haven't beaten FFX so I can't start on X-2 either, duh.

but then OHMYGOD i went crazy the past few months.  Since about January, I've gone from having just GTA IV and Killzone:  Liberation as my only unplayed current gen games, to Battlefield:  Bad Company, Condemned 1 AND 2, Fallout 3 (literally just started this yesterday), PGR 4, and Dragon Quest IV.  Though, in my defense, a few of those were a package deal a friend of mine sold to me for ridiculous value.

I'll be catching up on a game that's just a "little" old pretty soon...Suikoden :P
