The Great Backlog Challenge!!!!
By archer88 6 Comments
Like most PC gamers I have a ridiculously large backlog of games on Steam. This is mostly due to all of the sales they have on Steam and the complete lack of free time that I have. Who knew that starting a career and behaving like an adult would take up so much of my time? On top of that I have a few additional PC games, some Xbox 360 games and some DS games to finish. What is going through my mind when I buy these?
Anyway, I’ve decided to take action and conquer this beast, and to give myself some motivation, I’ve asked my girlfriend to move in with me. Basically this means that whatever games I don’t finish before she moves in I probably won’t be playing. Living with someone and spending time with her on a daily basis is going to take up a substantial portion of my time so I’ll likely only keep up with whatever new releases tickle my fancy. Now she’s finishing up her degree, so I have until shortly after she graduates to take care of business. May 1 2011. The date is set.
Now, without further ado, I present my video game backlog!!!!

Hmm...I may have missed some none Steam PC games....
Not sure what order I want to take them on in. I’ll be starting with Mass Effect 2 since I’m about halfway through. I’ll give updates as I go along, and there is a very good chance I will be distracted by a number of different games that I’ve already beaten. When it comes to multiplayer focused games, I’ll leave that up to my judgement. If there is a levelling system I may go by that, but I don’t necessarily think that hitting level 50 will make the experience much more complete than it was at level 49. Obviously the rules are pretty relaxed but in the end if I miss out on something then it’s my own fault. If you guys have any suggestion on the order in which I should be playing these, feel free to comment. Also I’ll be happy to talk about any games I’ve played if you’re interested in picking them up. I’ve played quite a few games, and by the end of this, a whole fuck load more.
BOOSH!
