Not to be confused with my pile of shame, here is my list of games that feel "important" that I've never gotten around to playing or beating. The list was created 8/17/13 and is in no particular order. Games that are knocked off the list will get moved to the bottom.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: Medium
Notes: When I said the items on my list were in no particular order, I lied. Grim Fandango is the game I want to play the most. I don't own it but is still obtainable second hand. Getting it to run on a modern machine may prove to be difficult, but it's got to re-release at some point, right?
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: High
Notes: It was cost prohibitive as a kid and in recent years. With it's re-release on the Wii U, it's just a matter of time.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: High
Notes: I had the game but as a kid, didn't know what the hell I was doing and seem to recall getting stuck in the observatory. It's been re-released on Steam so it's obtainable.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: High
Notes: I own the game for the NES. I've just never been good at pattern recognition and memorization.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: High
Notes: ICO feels important and I can't explain why. I started it and never got more than an hour or so in. I'd love to be able to have something resonate with me when people mention it.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: High
Notes: I want to understand Half Life, just need the time. I own it on Steam. Hope to do by the end of 2013.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: High
Notes: I own on steam. This covers everything worthwhile under the Half-Life 2 umbrella.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: High
Notes: I never started because I wanted to be ICO first. Almost bought a PS2 just for this but was saved by the remastered version.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: High
Notes: I own but seem to recall the control scheme being super off putting.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: High
Notes: It was re-released on Steam, but I've never played a Final Fantasy game. I don't do anime, or really turn based for RPG's. VII comes highly regarded so I'd like to give it a go.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: Unknown
Notes: I owned the game but didn't really understand what I was doing as a kid and never played to completion.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: Unknown
Notes: It was off my radar despite it being highly regarded. I saw someone playing it on twitch in recent years and knew it had to make my list.
Added: 8/17/13
Feasibility: High
Notes: A while ago I made it a goal to beat all the Zelda games in the franchise I hadn't beat. It was an admirable goal, I just ran out of time. I got to a point where I needed to get to Gannons castle, but got absolutely destroyed in some caves on the way there. One of these days, I should just nut up and push through.
