The challenge is simple, complete two games in April. They can be games you started in March 2013, or December 1997, it doesn't matter, just get them done by May.

Two games this month since students are going through a heavy testing period and have finals prep as well. The number of games will go back up in May, but, as always, feel free to do more games than the thread requirement.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga(GBA)

So why are the # to finish going down each month? Any reason?

Should I assume June thread will require 0 to be finished?

It makes no sense. In fact, when we hit 0 in June that's when I'll have ample time to finish off my games.

I guess July and beyond is when these type of threads will turn into adding # games to our backlog

Meia · Apr 1, 2013

Well, I participated in the last one for the first time, no reason to not continue. Going to go with 3 based on what the 3 are, and 3 that should really no longer be on my backlog any longer, all things considered.

Persona 1
Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment

Coppanuva · Apr 1, 2013

I'm going to go for:
Ninja gaiden (vc 3ds)
Retro city rampage Wii

Not long games, but I have much too much semester projects to commit to bigger ones.

Edit: ended up beating new super Mario u instead of retro city. Also on the end of ninja gaiden.

SteveDaWonder · Apr 1, 2013

My list includes...

Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
Blue Dragon (If I sell the game do I have to keep it on my back log?)
Grandia III
Lost Odyssey
Toy Story 3
Star Ocean 4
Final Fantasy X-II
Risen 2: Dark Waters (Likely going to eBay this one...)
Folklore
Heavenly Sword
Rayman Origins
Tropico 4 (Campaign)
Sherlock Homes (Yup, eBay)
Eternal Sonata
Just Cause 2

My goal is to have them all completed by the time Saints Row IV comes out, and for sure by the time the PS4/Nextbox comes out.

I am going to go for beating Black Ops II, Toy Story 3, and Lost Odyssey this month.

thelatestmodel · Apr 1, 2013

I finished five games last month, can I carry two over?

MGrant · Apr 1, 2013

I think I'll participate in this as well. My two games:

Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii). Shouldn't be too hard, I have a save right before the sand ship area. Just gotta power through the fetch quests.

X-Com: Enemy Unknown (PC). Got it for free with Bioshock Infinite. Might as well play it, I liked the demo.

btkadams · Apr 1, 2013

i am going to complete fire emblem awakening and catherine for sure. i'm pretty close to the ends.

April 8th Edit: Yesss beat these on the weekend! These are the first games I've actually finished since January :'( haha.

Voice of Reason · Apr 1, 2013

I'll be done with Castlevania: SOTN and Dead Space 3.

You guys are hitting the nail on the head.

Number went down for April because students have to deal with tests and finals prep.

Months like May, June, July will have more games. Of course, you can always complete more games than the thread requirement.

IllumiNate · Apr 1, 2013

Bioshock 2 and Luigis Mansion 2 for me

The_Hitcher89 · Apr 1, 2013

Mass Effect 3 (with Leviathan, From Ashes and possibly Citadel)
Far Cry 3

Dead Space 2
Bioshock 2
Sleeping Dogs
Folklore

BlackJace · Apr 1, 2013

Battlefront II PC Campaign

I think we should have 10 in June.

daveo42 · Apr 1, 2013

I'll join in again this month. My games:

MGS3 - About 9 hours in and two bosses down. Unsure of how much I actually have left.
The Cave - Picked up for free on PS+ and have been itching to play it.

Adding in:

Portable Ops - Another MGS game I never played that I want to beat before MGS5.
SMT 3: Nocturne - Started this last month but still only about 2 hours in.
Persona 3: FES - Social Link go! This one is a long shot.
Tales of the Abyss - Another long shot for me this month, but I've already got a few hours under my belt.

Necrovex · Apr 1, 2013

I am aiming to complete these two games:

Metro 2033
Vanquish

Wazzy · Apr 1, 2013

I failed and I only had to complete three for March. I didn't realize my schedule was going to be so busy. Anyway, I'm in and I should be able to do this.

Ni No Kuni
Fire Emblem

I should be recieving FE in a week but if not I'll change it to something else.

Double D · Apr 1, 2013

Broken Sword 2 Remastered (iOS - currently in progress)

Probably Beneath a Steel Sky (iOS) because I am currently addicted to adventure games on iOS. It also doesn't hurt that I've never played any of these games.

DLC Quest

A Vally Without Wind 2

Thief

eadly Shadows

Manus · Apr 1, 2013

I plan on finishing these this month. Hopefully Dota 2 won't interfere to much.

Final Fantasy VI
Bioshock Infinite
Tomb Raider

Flamfas · Apr 1, 2013

I failed miserably in March, completing only one (Fire Emblem).

I'm closing in on the end of Luigi's Mansion though, so maybe I can find another game to make it two this month?

ThatStupidLion · Apr 1, 2013

my goal is ni no kuni - possibly ffix

luffeN · Apr 1, 2013

I want to finish Bioshock Infinite and God of War: Ascension. I finished Tomb Raider some days ago.

theDeeDubs · Apr 1, 2013

Hopefully I'll complete: BioShock: Infinite and Tomb Raider this month if I can tear away from my Terraria addiction. Been playing split-screen with my wife on PSN and having more fun than I originally did with the PC version due in part to it.

ahdurian · Apr 1, 2013

Fire Emblem: Awakening
Luigi's Mansion 2
Virtue's Last Reward
Tomb Raider
Zone of the Enders HD Edition

Kifimbo · Apr 1, 2013

Fire Emblem Awakening, which I started in March.

Mark of the Ninja, will start soon.

Since I'm not a student, I'm gonna add the Donkey Kong Country trilogy on Wii (Virtual Console).

Var · Apr 1, 2013

Aiming for Super Mario 3D Land and Lollipop Chainsaw.

Risgroo · Apr 1, 2013

Hoping to finish Crysis/Warhead and NSMB U, might go back to GTA4 if I get the time.

namDa65 · Apr 1, 2013

Bayonetta. The Darkness 2.

Extras:

House of the dead: overkill
ratchet and clank all 4 one
sonic generations
enslaved

DJ_Lae · Apr 1, 2013

I'm on track to finish Duke Nukem Forever, which is kind of sad when I actually think about it. I guess because I bothered to play it in the first place I feel like I have to finish it, though holy crap is it awful.

I would say Fire Emblem though I don't know if I'll get around to that.

-Duke Nukem Forever
-Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon

Bonuses

-Mark of the Ninja
-Xenoblade
-Borderlands 2 DLC

Ala Alba · Apr 1, 2013

Going to finish New Super Mario U and Etrian Odyssey IV at the very least.

Midou · Apr 1, 2013

Hmmm, let's see.

I plan to pick up SMT: Soul Hackers, so I'll probably beat that.

May resume my Fire Emblem marathon I put on hold with Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu

Those two for now. Not sure why thread keeps going down though, I think aiming for 2 will turn people into underachievers.

BarrenMind · Apr 1, 2013

I'm just hoping I beat more than I buy for the first month this year.

I'd like to finish Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and LEGO City Undercover. If I buy Luigi's Mansion from Gamefly I'm sure I'll finish that as well.

Might put some effort into Dark Souls again too, but HA HA HA HA I won't finish that one.

stn · Apr 1, 2013

I'd like to finish Crysis 3 and MGS4. Should be do-able.

shintoki · Apr 1, 2013

Bioshock(PC), you know me. Everyone be playing Infinite. I'll finally play the first.

I NEED SCISSORS · Apr 1, 2013

I keep doing these things and never succeed, but i'm definitely going to finish:

Final Fantasy XII: International Zodiac Job System
Gravity Rush
Bayonetta
Silent Hill 2

Animekatt · Apr 1, 2013

I want to work on the following:

Atelier Meruru - I just finished Ayesha in March, so Meruru is the only PS3 Atelier game I haven't completed yet. Started the game last year.

Fire Emblem: Awakening - Started in Feb.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon - Started last month.

I have over 100+ games in my backlog. I really need to work on those...

The Elite · Apr 1, 2013

Lego City Undercover and Luigi's Mansion hopefully.

Paskil · Apr 1, 2013

Uncharted
Nier
Sly Collection
Deus Ex Human Revolution

Tunavi · Apr 1, 2013

Deus Ex: HR
999
Minervas Den
Just Cause 2

Pein · Apr 1, 2013

Black ops 2
Modern warfare 3
asura's wrath

FloatOn · Apr 1, 2013

I want the hard drive space back so I'm going to do LA Noire.

My second choice is Transformers War for Cybertron.

I started Bioshock Infinite last week and I'll probably be done with it today or tomorrow. So that'll be 3 for me. Will squeeze in more if I can.

valkillmore · Apr 1, 2013

I really need to participate in this thread. I need to get through the Killzone trilogy before the fall. Got the triple pack so I qualify for the HD criteria, right?

Jhoan · Apr 1, 2013

I technically beat Mark of the Ninja today (at 4AM), so I'll count that. I suppose I'll aim for 3-4 games for this month. I also have a bunch of Wii games to play through, but I'll focus on my 360 games for now.

This is my stack of unbeaten physical 360 games. I left most of these games in the middle of or close to the end of run:

I refuse to finish Dark Souls until the DLC goes on sale. I tried popping in Tales of Vesperia since 2 GAF members on my friends list have been playing it, but my Xbox has been unable to read the disk which is strange. I've tried cleaning the disk and using the Game Doctor on it but no dice.

I think I'll finish Bully: Scholarship Edition as well.

Same here. I'm halfway through Bioshock with Bioshock Infinite waiting in the wings.

Spec Ops the Line
Bioshock Infinite.

Caffeine · Apr 1, 2013

i did 6 games last month

Sub_Level · Apr 1, 2013

Can we carry over from last month's thread? My backlog has a backlog. Spring Break messed my gaming up so I have 4 for April. Last month I completed Tomb Raider 100%.

Carried over

- Bioshock Infinite
- Tomb Raider Anniversary (100% all time trials and relics)

April

- System Shock 2 (Impossible difficulty)
- FTL (Easy difficulty)
