An easy choice - AC Brotherhood. It is in my opinion the best of the AC games and one of the best, if not the very best game of this generation. The main character and setting are both excellent. Plus the introduction of your assassin followers adds lots of depth to the game.

I'll do my best!

Chuck the rest of your games out. You won't be needing them any more, all you'll need is Devil May Cry 3. I got my hands on Devil May Cry HD Collection a few months back and fell in love with it all over again. Amazing games (Devil 2 excluded)

I've already kicked off an initiative to clear out my backlog. I've got 3 games on the go at the moment.

Rage - I'm going through a constant shift of Love it and Hate it with this game. I love the actual game parts but not so mad about all the helping people around the town stuff and open world attempt. It's bogging down and bloating the game in my mind

The Darkness - I got this for 6 euro and had always meant to pick it up. Mainly got it as backstory for a playthrough of Darkness 2. It's a good game if a bit finicky in it's shooting. Liking the story though. Another Open World attempt that doesn't need it.

Fear 3 - Playing this Co-op with a friend and have to say I 'm really enjoying it.

I want to get these 3 games finished and passed on before thinking of any new games.

v3ttel · 04-02-2013 12:49pm

Good idea for a thread.

Farcry 3 story & Hitman Absolution for me hopefully. I've scratched the surface of both, but would like to close out the stories. Really enjoyed both, but progress stalled for a few weeks.

CastorTroy · 04-02-2013 2:24pm

I'm on Episode 2 of Walking Dead so hope to finish it soon, then move on to something else this month. And just went and added Heavy Rain to my backlog.

Monty - the one and only · 04-02-2013 2:29pm

magika... though when played with friends it can be explosive...
dungeon defenders - still havent finished the crystal shards, will ave to give that some time.

Cravez · 04-02-2013 2:32pm

I plan on completing Dark Souls hopefully this month. Putting in alot of my game time to it and I'm not even sure how much I have left!

folan · 04-02-2013 3:07pm

currently playing Hitman

In the backlog is

Batman AC
Amnesia (never finished)
C&C red alert 3
Empire Total War
Tropico 4
The Rainslick series (Penny arcade)
Limbo
And Dishonored.

I cannot buy another game until ALL of them are competed.

wnolan1992 · 04-02-2013 3:15pm

This is awkward for me because I've only got access to my Xbox 2 nights a week...

But, I'm going to try and finish Hitman: Absolution, I got it before Christmas, and still haven't played it.

Other than that, I'm also going to try and finish Red Faction: Armageddon, which I started in December, loved, but just kinda stopped playing.

Great thread idea btw.

balkieb2002 · 04-02-2013 3:18pm

I'm currently going through my PS3 backlog.

Decided last month to pick two games and play between them till completion then move on. I'm trying to pick two differnt genres to mix things up once I get tired/stuck in one.

Last month (completed)
God of War trilogy.
The Walking Dead.
Far Cry 3.

This month:
Red Dead Redemption. Started it last month but its a fairly long game but I'm making good progress so I am hoping to get it completed early this month.
Catherine. Have gotten far into it but the current levels boss "puzzle" is providing a real stumbling block

K.O.Kiki · 04-02-2013 4:59pm

I think I'm <5hrs from finishing Deus Ex: Human Revolution, so I'll tackle Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD next.

So how many times did Cerberus kill you, first time around?

I'm almost certain I've played more than 25hrs on this play through so I fail to see the joke...

super_furry · 04-02-2013 5:38pm

Half-Life 2. Have a Steam save about 11 hours into it but never went any further. Got a new iMac so it'll be perfect to give it a first run out on.

I think I'm misremembering the game then. I flew through it in a weekend and found it to be the perfect length to suit my taste, somewhat short and sweet. I seem to remember people complaining about the length? Maybe I'm wrong and getting mixed up with another game

So most if not all of us have a backlog of games. Why not try and get through a few of them. This month pick a game and beat it. Tell us what game you've chosen and a reason if you like. Then report back with any progress.

I've already chosen to beat inFAMOUS 2 in February.

To make it even more interesting you could post a list (or link) to the games in your backlog and have another member of boards choose your game for you. But they could be mean and choose a 100+ hour game

So come on, join me and tick some of those games off of your list.

Lols....I jsut started inFamous 2 for the same reason. It was in my backlog and there isn't much out lately that floats my boat. It was either inFamous 2 or Deus X:HR. I played about an hour of both and decided to do inFamous as I loved the original game. I am not sure this game is grabbing me in the same as the original although I plan on sticking with it. I am currently playing as good, though I would like to replay as bad.

richymcdermott · 04-02-2013 6:01pm

i beat xenoblade chronicles few days ago. great game , took me near 2 years to beat though :pac:

gouche · 04-02-2013 6:23pm

Playing through Links Awakening on the 3DS at the minute. Never finished it and I'm really enjoying it.

Next up is Ocarina of Time 3D. Have finished it many times before but looking forward to playing it again. On a bit of a Zelda buzz at the minute:)

After that I've about 100 games on Steam - 75% I don't think I've even played.

Sarky · 04-02-2013 6:26pm

So many games to finish... But can't stop playing Planetside 2...

Sofiztikated · 04-02-2013 7:12pm

Right, so after a bit of a kip, I decided I would get cracking.

Format: Xbox
Game: SonicCD

I got this ages ago, I never did get a MegaCD. Boshed it on, played a few minutes and didnt look at it again.

Sl!mCharles · 04-02-2013 7:40pm

Nearly finished Dark Souls... Bayonetta next. Want me some more demons

elekid · 04-02-2013 7:46pm

I'm 35 hours into Tales of the Abyss on the 3DS and really enjoying it. Alongside that I'm playing Mighty Switch Force HD on the Wii U and Vessel on Steam. I expect to finish them all before the end of February.

o1s1n · 04-02-2013 8:05pm

Earthbound for me. My December/January game was Phantasy Star IV. Finished that up and moved onto this last weekend. Utterly amazing game.

Clover · 04-02-2013 9:10pm

Dead Space 1 for me , had got up to chapter seven but got stuck.

Twilightning · 04-02-2013 9:16pm

Dino Crisis was a childhood game I'd never finished, did it last night, another game added to my backloggery. Now to get the other 2 endings and beat Dino Crisis 2 on hard difficulty.
