Just a list of games that I'm currently "focused" on.

With a Switch port incoming, it's about time we Com-PETE-d this one, yeah? Going for all stamps - which means every character, every level. Given the fact that I haven't beaten Champion's Road with *any* character, I dunno how feasible this is :}
Currently the oldest game on my backlog (if I Com-PETE this, it'll shift the average age of my backlog 24 days younger)! I'm pretty sure I did Com-PETE this (all kills, all secrets, all difficulties) back in the day, but the lack of forward-compatibility with gamesaves leaves me with no proof; currently using Yamagi Quake 2, which should provide the future compatibility.
And... it's still okay. I was never a *massive* fan back-in-the-day (much preferring Q1 and Q3), but it's appropriately dumb and fun.
After blustering my way through the original game, it felt appropriate to leap into the sequel... and initial impressions are not kind. Wasn't this highly regarded back-in-the-day? So far, it feels solid, but lacks the finesse in world-building that was so successful in the original.
An effervescent - and more enjoyable - palate-cleanser when paired with BioShock 2. The visuals are quite silly (in a good way), as is the narrative (in an appallingly bad way).
I'm loving my return to this on the PS4. I think my memories of my 360 playthrough suffered from its proximity to Spec Ops: The Line, which is chalk-and-cheese when compared to Infinite in terms of ludonarrative dissonance. So far, I'm having a blast - it's *way* more fun than BioShock 2, and much more approachable than the original BioShock.
My first Yakuza. Erm... this is... verbose?
