So summer, at least for me, started a month ago exactly, but I still want to put down a little reminder list of what games from my backlog I've been wanting to finally get around to. Usually when new consoles launch it's the perfect time to wrap up the leftovers of the previous generation, but with the Vita, 3DS, PC, and Wii U getting a ton of good games this year (check out my list of games still coming out), I doubt I'll be able to tackle many old titles while trying to keep up with the new stuff.
But hey! This list has way more games than I could possibly play through in a single summer anyway, so it's already overshooting the whole concept of wrapping everything up. This list is little more than a reminder, a subsection of my backlog that I've thought "Man, I should REALLY play this soon." Something to glance back at when I have time to play video games, but have trouble narrowing my focus.

A fan-translation of this game came out recently. 7th Dragon is inspired by (and developed by some of the same people as) Etrian Odyssey, one of my favourite series of the past generation and I have anxiously awaited a day where I could play it.
I've had it installed for about two years. Let's see if I finally get around to playing it...
Have been interested in Spiderweb's stuff, but never really dove into any of the games. Seems like the best place to start, as it's a remake of the first Avernum game.
I hate episodic formats, so I think I'd actually prefer to wait for the other two parts to come out before playing this, but I may not be able to resist...
Again, I hate having to wait between installments of a franchise. Now that the pentalogy is over, I can finally play this fantastic sounding indie adventure game series. I've heard great things...
With my love of JRPG's, I think this is a must.
Playing with friends, but online co-op has been a little... dicey. Loving it so far.
I've only played two games of Civ V, but I like to play really long campaigns. Still, I quickly found how much I loved Gods & Kings and Brave New World sounds like only an improvement to the formula.
I actually just picked up a copy of this. Other than a brief rental when it came out, I really haven't played much of it.
Love this game. It's really grind-y, but I just love the perfect execution of this fantastic premise.
