In terms of video games, 2009 will be all about catching up for me. I bought an Xbox 360 this October, which was my first platform I've owned since a PS2 that I had 2001-2003 (technically, my brother owned it.). I've done a bit of PC gaming throughout the years: SimCity, Total War, Civilization, Hitman, etc. I focused on World of Warcraft, though. I recently discontinued my subscription to switch to console gaming, and I've been enjoying it greatly.

This introduction is for anyone else who happens to be reading this post. However, the main reason I'm posting this is for my own benefit. In a year, I'll see how many of these games I actually got through, and how many were worth my time.

Games that I want to play (and complete) in 2009:

2008 releases:
-Grand Theft Auto IV
-Fable 2
-Gears of War 2
-Left 4 Dead
-Prince of Persia
-Banjo-Kazoozie: Nuts & Bolts
-Far Cry 2
-Civilization: Revolution
-EndWar
-Too Human
-Rise of the Argonauts
-Burnout Paradise

Older releases:
-Bioshock
-Assassin's Creed
-Call of Duty 4: MW
-Gears of War
-Splinter Cell: Double Agent
-Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
-Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2

2009 releases:
-Alpha Protocol
-Splinter Cell: Conviction
-Skate 2
-H.A.W.X.
-Resident Evil 5
-Total War: Empire (ok, it's PC-only, but I couldn't leave it off)

anndd I'm sure there will be many more that aren't on my radar yet. That's a grand total of 25 games. It's very close to one every 2 weeks, and so I'm guessing some of these will have to be rented.
