Because sometimes one hundred entries just ain't enough.

Kind of a mess, though the story was enjoyable enough. I hated, hated navigating the world in this game. Also don't think I died throughout the entire playthrough, for what that's worth.
A free Club Nintendo pickup that got about fifty hours of playtime. Hot damn.
Purchased in mid-2010 to play on a borrowed PS3. Finally completed almost five years later, well worth the wait. 23 games completed in 2014.
I played through the final dungeon years ago, and beat the final dungeon in a co-op game with my best friend around August 2015. So, I beat Final Fantasy VII and don't care who knows it.
Once you figure out a pretty obvious trick, this game goes from mildly frustrating to a complete cake walk.
Cannot recommend it enough, and it's on sale currently for less than $4!
The most 2015 game possible to finish off 2015. 35 games knocked out during the year. Steam collection at ~20% complete, Backloggery says I'm at ~35% completion.
First game taken down in 2016.
Fantastic little game! Little in the sense that I played through the main levels in two sittings. Great visuals, fun mechanic, all around standout indie platformer.
Beat Birthright on Normal!Classic. Lost Reina shortly after acquiring her, Rinkah and Dwyer in Chapter 27A, and husband Kaze in Chapter 27B. Those deaths made the game even more incredible, like adding a (frankly better) story onto the one in the game. I won't play Conquest for a while, but I'm considering a Hard!Classic run.
Played on the PS Vita through PS+. Load times were rough enough, but then I got to the second half and boy does it feel flat. Also there were CRAZY audio problems whenever Shay was inside of Alex's ship in said half. Speech was a few seconds out of sync, tons of hissing and popping.
Beaten on the Dragon Warrior I & II GBC combo cart, which seems like the only sane way to play this today.
Type B 9-5 completed, Buran launch successful!
Beat on my girlfriend's PSN account so she got the trophies. D'oh! Probably my favorite puppygames title (played some others through Humble Bundles). Brief, not particularly challenging. The first time I played on Steam I got to the penultimate level; my "finish the game run" was the second time I had ever played, and was done around midnight after a ten hour work shift and some drinking with friends.
Go USSR! Beat Hungary in World Cup '90 finals 1-0!
This might be the best Nintendo game I have ever played.
Easily the stronger of the two AC games released in 2014, I also think it was a fine swan song for the series on its original platform(s). Not overly long, with a couple very clever missions couched in a miniature ACIV-esque world. Good, very good.
Beaten as part of Rare Replay. There's some serious sploits, dawg.
Finished off another year with another funky indie darling (unless I polish off SML2 in the next two days).
Turns out I did finally get through Wario Castle, which is shockingly stiff compared to the rest of this game. 42 games taken down in 2016. Backloggery has me at 37.4% completion, thrown off mostly because I bought all of Rare dang Replay.
First game taken down in 2017. Only been putting this one off for six years now.
The ending of this game comes perhaps a hundred hours before theoretically "finishing" it. I'll be leaving this in my 3DS for most of 2017 to poke around and get my Ramza/Locke/Terra/rotating fourth up to max rank while listening to Big Bridge.
What a story.
Specifically 3D Space Harrier for the Nintendo 3DS, which is probably the greatest video game ever made.
Didn't get caught :D
Easily the best of these so-called "walking sims" that I've played to date. Liked the tone, really liked the aesthetics, super fucking duper liked the riot girl tapes.
Jeff's 2016 Game of the Year "ends" with a blimp race? And at 33% completion? Still the best driving game I've played that doesn't have "Burnout" in the name.
