Universal Access can be found under System Preferences
The challenge is simple, complete three games in May. They can be games you started in April 2013, or December 1997, it doesn't matter, just get them done by June.

May means finals are still in swing for students, so keeping the goal fairly modest. As always, feel free to complete more if you have the time.

God help me I need it. My backlog has reached such epic proportions that I honestly don't know what to play. I have made a selection below of things I've been considering so people can help me with suggestions. Since I've been scrolling through my library for a few days now.

Welp, seeing as I have one mission left in Fire Emblem...

That ain't happening! Props if you do.

Gonna try Monaco, and Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut this month. More of a starter month for me so I can't commit to too many games. Wanna take it easy on these two instead of rushing them 'cause they seem good.

My suggestions
 
Will finish for sure:
Soul Hackers
Orcs Must Die 2

Will you be the third game!?!
Dragon Quest VI
Kingdom Hearts 3D
Kings Bounty: Warriors of The North
 
With my amount of time to play recently...

Sly 2 - Platinum (Already 50% done.)
Sly 3 - Platinum
Poker Night 2 - 100%
Pocket League Story - For fun while multi-tasking.

Are my current goals in May!
 
Ok, I'll join in for the first time, does games you have already started count?

If so:
Mass Effect 3
Dead Island
Deus EX: HR
 
I'm super busy at work so I don't know if I'll be able to get 3 done.

But in saying that here is my list -

- God of War III - About 1/3 through my first playthrough, have been for a year...
- Tomb Raider (New game)
- Dishonored

Given I'm travelling I might try and finish up Disgaea 3 on my Vita, I'm very close to the end of my first playthrough, but I'm obviously nowhere near finishing it completely.
 
I did very well with cleaning up my PS 3 and Xbox 360 backlogs in April, so I want to start with a bit of the psp backlog:

Corpse Party
Corpse Party: Book of Shadows.

Also going to start both the Arland and Hyperdimension trilogies, so:

Atelier Rorona
Hyperdimension Neptunia


I will probably also play the free Hitman Absolution game from PS+.

I will leave it at these 5 for now.

Possible bonus:
Other games from the Arland oder Hyperdimension series or Persona 3 FES and/or p3portable as female MC.
 
Did good last month. With the NHL playoffs every night, it's gonna be harder. I'm gonna go with:

Portal 2 (PC)
Rhythm Heaven (DS)
Dragon Quest IX (DS)

And Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii) if I have time for one more.
 
Carry-over from last month:
Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time

New this month:
Bayonetta
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Final Fantasy XIII-2
 
Luigi's Mansion 2
Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
Far Cry 3

Finish finals on May 9th, so this shouldn't be too ludicrous a challenge. I've just started Dragon Quest IX, but.... no way am I going to be able to beat that! Also planning on getting Fire Emblem on the 9th, don't know how long that is.
 
I'm not sure what all my games are going to be, but I'm definitely going to get Torchlight finished this month. :D
 
Failed hard last month, only completed one of two.


Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
The Walking Dead


I'll learn to stop throwing up old RPGs on this after I finish these, I swear. :p
 
Going to go for:

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
GTA IV: The Lost and Damned
GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony

Just in case I have to class the two GTA episodes as a single game, however, I'll replace one of them with Lara Croft: The Guardian of Light.
 
Uncharted 2
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars

I've already made significant progress in all of these games, so it won't last me long, but it'll be a good start at any rate.
 
I'm at the last stage of Hokuto musou 2, which I plan onfinishing this month, so would it count?
Games I plan on finishing this month:
Far Cry 3 BD
Catherine
 
RIP in peace, Anderson Cooper ;__;

I've managed to beat the monthly challenge unofficially for the past two months, so I think it's time to throw my hat in officially this time.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is at the top of the list. I'm just not sure what to do for the other two games. In the spirit of the OG thread, I'll take orders from whoever is willing to tell me which I should tackle. Y'all are too late! SkyTurnsRed has it.

  • Arkedo Series: 01 JUMP!
  • Botanicula
  • Corpse Party (thanks for the reminder, Torraz)
  • Final Fantasy III (the DS game, not FFVI)
  • Final Fantasy IV
  • Gunman Clive
  • Machinarium
  • PixelJunk Shooter
  • PixelJunk Sidescroller
  • Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure
  • Waking Mars

If you actually have that many completely untried games (as opposed to just not having updated the ones you've played) that's quite amazing.

(is may 1st allowed?)

Any game at any point in time is permitted as long as you can beat it before June. You could theoretically sign yourself up for a game that comes out on May 31st, though that would be pretty unwise!
 
Here we go then:

Far Cry 3 (Xbox)

Crysis 3 (PS3)

Tomb Raider (PS3)

and...

If i can....

God of War Ascension.

My backlog is disgusting. And upsetting.
 
I failed so hard at this last month.

I will beat Monaco, Fez and La-Mulana this month.

Also, is Grief.exe perma-banned?
