(and new games too!)
The challenge is to finish three or more games in a month. You didn't need to start the game this month, as it's the finishing that matters. And what counts as finishing a game can sometimes be a matter of opinion, so go with what you're happy with.
Please post your goals for the month, and please share your triumphs and setbacks and impressions of the games as the month goes by.
How Long to Beat is a big help, giving me get a good idea of how much longer a game will take.
Backloggery can be used to catalogue the games you have and haven't finished, to prevent a game from falling through the cracks.
Does anyone have other tools they use?
52 Games. 1 Year. 2016. is a thread for if you're looking for a bigger challenge.
I find that having this goal can be a good reminder to pick up some old saves, and motivation to continue games through the occasional frustrating times.
Good luck to everyone chipping away at their backlog.

As for me:
I finished:
Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 3 to 5: Platinumed (finishing the game is automatically a platinum). Episode 5 finished on the 3rd. I wish dialogue options weren't timed but that is the main complaint and it is otherwise great with its character interactions. It could make its way somewhere around 10 on my GOTY 2015 list, for its fun characterisation and the dramatic directions it can go.
The Wolf Among Us: Episode 3 to 5: Platinumed. Finished episode 5 on the 13th, platinumed on the 16th. It's interesting playing different types of these games close together as it shows there's a difference in how I role play the different characters. I played Bigby as an ethical sheriff, though to get the platinum I had to go back and make some bad decisions.
The Walking Dead: Season 2: Episode 1 to 5: Episode 5 finished on the 22nd. I had heard it wasn't as good as the first season, but it was very good. Maybe as good as the first season but I played that too long ago.
I counted each episode as a game but also tried to finish the three full seasons.
I'm also playing:
Tales of Zestiria: I'm probably over halfway through the game. I like the characterisation and have fun with it despite not liking how many systems they put in place. I have a lot of the iris gems.
Yakuza 5: This is probably biting off too much, since I am just up to Part 1, Chapter 3. I'll have to go through the main story more directly and not worry about not doing every last bit of side content.
Time Clickers: I've been playing this for a few days. I'm seeing if I can get all the achievements. It has some strategy to its upgrades. It's a very addictive game and that is a bad thing. I have it under control now.
