At the beginning of the year, I posted a list of games that I planned to finish this year. I also stated that I was going to try and beat more games, instead of replaying the same ones over and over. I am happy to say that I have beat 22 games this year, which is probably more than the last 2 years combined. Last year, I think I only finished 12 games, and the year before, hardly beat any, because I was playing Guitar Hero most of the time. The only games remaining from the original list are MS Saga, an MGS game, and an action RPG.

Since the trend for July 17 seems to be posting games completed lists, I will do the same. Actually, I will just post links to the lists, too lazy to type everything out. I have beat 93 games, and completed 25, for a grand total of 118. Only 35 of those games are RPGs though.

If you couldn't guess by the title, I've posted pics of all my games, consoles, handhelds, etc. If you'd like to check it out, go ahead and click here. There were a few thing that I forgot, will get around to posting those pics eventually.

This is my first attempt at making a banner. It's not perfect, was trying to hurry up and get it done before I have to leave for work. When I have some more time, I'll make a new one.

My vacation is finally here! I'm not going anywhere, but it will be nice to just relax for a week with my family. Of course, there will be some gaming too, got a stack of games that I plan on finishing.

I have a bad habit of starting games, getting about halfway through, and then stop playing them. My original intention is to put the game on hold for a bit, while I check out the new game I just purchased. But I usually end up not playing them ever again. Not this year! This year, I will be hacking away at my backlog, and try very hard to resist the urge to start brand new games. So without further ado, here is my list of games I must beat this year.

Baten Kaitos - I honestly don't know why I haven't finished this one yet. It has great combat and a somewhat interesting story. I'm currently on disc 2, about to enter the Garden Of Death.

Puzzle Quest - I think I just burned myself out on this one. I would play it constantly for the first month I had it, never wanting to stop. I only have 7 more battles to go.

MS Saga - This game suffers from Grandia 3 syndrome. Great combat, but everything else is just meh. I just got the airship, so I should be able to go anywhere.

Metal Gear Solid - I love this series, but I have never finished any of the games. I wish I still had my save file from the PS1 game, was pretty close to the end. Looks like I'll be working on The Twin Snakes instead.

an action RPG - I have never beat an action RPG. I got about halfway through Star Ocean 2, and sold the game. I'm over halfway done with Tales Of Vesperia, but I no longer have a 360. I'll most likely work on the Star Ocean 2 port that comes out next week.

more strategy RPGs - It is my favorite genre, but have only finished 3 games (Disgaea, FF Tactics, and Fire Emblem: PoR). I've been working on Tactics Ogre for a long time, still not very far though. I'm about halfway through the story of FFTA, but that game is pretty mediocre. Also spent about 20 hours on Eternal Poison, but got distracted by Persona 4.

Hopefully, this list will be complete at the end of the year.
