The challenge is to finish three or more games in a month!
It doesn't matter how long or short the games are, or even if you're already near the end. Or if you've finished it before, as long as you wanted to finish it again. What counts as finishing a game can sometimes be fuzzy, so you should use your own judgment.
Please post the games you hope to finish and share your successes, setbacks and impressions as the month goes by. Best of luck to everyone!
Hopefully these might help:
How Long to Beat is a big help, as a general guide for how big an undertaking a game will be.
The Backloggery is a way to keep track of your games and which ones you've finished.

I have finished:
Dragon Quest VII: 3DS version, finished on the 13th, after grinding for gold for a bit to buy better equipment for the final boss. There were some highlights to the story but overall it was disappointing compared to other Dragon Quest games.
Paper Mario: Colour Splash: Finished on the 16th. I thought I would probably regret buying it, but I am glad that I played it. It made its way to my Top 10 list for last year. Some of the joy of the writing of the opening hours was replaced by frustration as the game went on ('they expected me to do THAT?'), however.
Hitman: Finished the story on the 17th. I haven't played a whole lot of the rest of the game, however, which I am moving on to do some more of. That's probably the main part of the game, but I'll consider it finished for these purposes.
Gunman Clive: The first game on the HD Collection on Wii U, finished on the 18th. It's excellent. Great art style and fun levels.
Refunct: Finished on the 19th. It's a short and relaxing first-person platformer that works very well.
AdVenture Capitalist: Finished on the 29th. I got all unlocks on all locations (Earth, Moon, Mars), with no real money spent or system clock manipulation at all. It's a good incremental game that I enjoyed for the strategy with what to upgrade and being rewarded with bigger numbers, but I am relieved that I am done with it.
I'll try for:
Gravity Rush Remastered: I bought it recently. I'm up to chapter 7, but I'm not playing it much.
Yakuza 0: A great game with an excellent story. It does frustrate during its low points with interruptions by subquests starting with cutscenes when just walking to an unrelated destination. But the game more than makes up for this when it's going well.
Resident Evil VII: I am up to the third area. Since I am trying to just play it at night, I'm going slowly with it.

That game is massive, but there are really good mods out there that make the game way more enjoyable while not really cheating.
