Four in February, take a bite out of your backlog

This is a neat idea. I've been on a finishing kick and beat probably 15 games in the past 3 weeks or so so I'll probably manage this.

I'll finish Mass Effect 2 and Saint's Row The Third, probably finally finish Darksiders but I don't have faith in my ability to finish Fire Emblem so for my fourth I'll say Super Princess Peach.

The sad part is I'm a decent way into all four of these. :/
 
Alright.

Assassin's Creed 3
Zombi U
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
Kingdom Hearts 3D

Should be doable. Kingdom Hearts is the only one I haven't started yet.
 
I think These four will be my picks:

XCOM: EU
The Darkness 2
Darksiders 2
Torchlight 2

I have more games on my backlog, will also finish some of them.
 
I'm already 8 hours into Darksiders II, anyone wanna pick my other three? Choices:

MGS3 (replay, not first time)
Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando
Jak and Daxter 1
Ico
Shadow of the Colossus
Unfinished Swan
Rochard
Outland
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Uncharted 3

Shameful repost, but it probably won't be seen at the bottom of the first page (for us superior 50-posts-per-pagers), and I'm indecisive. Pick my games GAF!
 
Can we list games we are already part way through? Looking to beat:

Bayonetta
GRID
Gravity Rush
Final Fantasy XII: International Zodiac Job System

And I guess I should say Metal Gear Rising too since i'll be buying and likely finishing that within the week it's out.
 
Fine, I'll take part of this too. Mine will be Sine Mora, Psychonauts, Just Cause 2, and Anomaly Warzone Earth.

EDIT: There's a chance I may get some new-ish games, like DmC, Ni No Kuni, Sly 4, MG Rising, etc. If I do, I'll probably ignore whatever my other three are haha. But I'm poor right now so probably won't be a problem.

Shadow of the Colossus
Outland
Kid Icarus: Uprising
 
I should probably be focusing more on studying buuuuuut fuck it.

Anarchy Reigns
Max Payne 3
DmC
Bowser's Inside Story

Let's do this shit.
 
I'll participate too. I've got Lolipop Chainsaw, Mortal Kombat (story), Sleepind Dogs ( I am already quite far into this one) and Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow on my plate for the month. I think it's doable.
 
Ok

1) I'm nearly done with LBP Karting, so I'll do that

2) either Ni No Kuni or P4G, I have both and not started either. Will probably take the most time

3) crysis 2 on either PC or PS3, would be good to get that done before 3

4) to the moon. Got about halfway and stopped, so should finish this.
 
I'm in:

Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Fire Emblem Awakening
Assassin's Creed III
LEGO Lord of the Rings

Two of these are portable and LEGO I'm playing through with my girlfriend. Ass Creed is the only one I'm any sort of worried about.
 
Gonna play it safe because I really want to do this:

FF 13 - almost done I think (ch11) (time to complete: ~ 3-4 days)
Extremely Twisted Shadow Planet - half way i think (~ 1 day)
The Walking Dead - not started (~ 4 days)
Persona 3: FES - have to restart :'( (~ 2-3 weeks)

If I feel courageous I can replace one with the following: Alan Wake (~ 1-2 week), AssCreed 2 (~1 week)
 
This is a cool idea. I have no idea if I'll actually be able to squeeze it all in this month, but I'm working on these at the moment:

Final Fantasy VI (I somehow haven't played this yet)
Binary Domain
Hitman: Blood Money
Devil May Cry 3 SE
 
Ooh, I like this idea. I'll go with:

Mark of the Ninja
Resident Evil Revelations
Radiant Historia
Binary Domain

I've just barely started all of these aside from Radiant Historia, which I've got about 12 hours in.

Tempted to put Fire Emblem as that'll definitely get a lot of play, but I don't want to force myself to blaze all the way through it. One to savor.
 
1. Chrono Trigger - near the end, but I did play for around 4 hours today

2. 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure - finished the first two worlds and stopped playing for some reason

3. Kid Icarus: Uprising - got about halfway through the game and put it down

4. Dragon Quest V - have not started yet. probably the one that I'm worried the most about because I want to enjoy the game and I hate setting deadlines to finish things. If I get reasonable progress
3rd generation
then I'll consider it a success even if I don't force myself to finish the game.

If I get up early enough tomorrow I can man up and probably push myself to the end of CT. Not a NG+ and I still have a few side quests to do plus I want to TP grind and get techs and stuff. Obviously not going to be playing during the Super Bowl.

Kirby won't be a big deal. I won't hurry through but maybe do a world or two per day whenever I think about it. KI:U will be this week assuming I have a hard time finding Fire Emblem. Again DQV will be my change of pace from FE in my normal backlog clearing thing.

I could have really weaseled out and put my other 3DS VC games in there (Super Mario Land 2 & 3) so I may go ahead and knock them out too. I have one of the six golden coins in SML2 and I just hit Stove Canyon in SML3. Who knows. It's all about having fun right?

I will buy FE on Monday and literally never come back to this topic
 
OK. In the spirit of clearing the backlog of shame I'm not including Dead Space 3, Aliens or Crysis 3.

Zombi U
Borderlands 2
Mark of the Ninja
DMC

All PC, except for Zombi;p
 
My self control is horrible and I've got a few things coming up this month but I'll give it a try:

Mark of the Ninja
COD Blops 2
Ni No Kuni
FarCry 3 (may swap Dead Space 3 for this if I pick it up)
 
Okay then.

Devil May Cry 3
Devil May Cry 4
DmC Devil May Cry
Bayonetta

But between school, a full time job, and studying for my A+ certification, I doubt I'll get this done.

Alright. I'm in.

Devil May Cry 3
Persona 4
Final Fantasy 12

Megaman 9
Unless you have a LOT of free time, that's not going to happen.
 
Lets do this! Complete my 3DS backlog so I can buy Fire Emblem.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star
New Super Mario Bros. 2
Metroid II: Return of Samus
Crimson Shroud
 
I have huge problems with buying game and not playing them (OCD game-collecting is great) and my backlog is growing larger every month. So I'm in!

Here my list:

Fez - Playing it now, haven't played it before.
Dragon Age Origins - Finished it a few times but that was years ago so its time for a "do it all" round.
Dishonored - Only played the first 15 minutes but it seems fun.
Dust: An Elysian Tail™ - Only played the first 5 mins but it was fun.
 
Im in:

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy (PS3)
Far Cry 3 (PS3)
Assassins Creed 3 (Wii U)
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
 
I'm in. I'm gonna go with some mix of the following:

Zelda: Twilight Princess (which I've beat once before at launch)
Viewtiful Joe
Metroid: Other M (if I can stand it)
Bulletstorm (Maybe)
Mad World (Maybe)
Pokemon White 2 (Maybe - It's been hard for me to maintain interest)
 
Sure!


Pick for me, GAF! Realistic (in terms of time investment, I work full-time) picks would be nice :)

Sure!

Does anyone offer to help me choose the games? And I'm serious -_-
I'll just post the list of games currently waiting to be played and I'll let you choose freely, I promise. :(

some that come to my mind right now in no specific order:

MGS2/Peace Walker (Already finished MGS3) from the HD collection
Borderlands 2
Dishonored
Sleeping Dogs
Rayman Origins
Alpha Protocol
Deus Ex
Bioshock 2 (Never played Bioshock)
Xenoblade
The Last Story
Fragile Dreams
Dark Souls (I'm like 25 hours in though)
Hitman 2/Contracts/Blood Money from the HD collection (I played them before though)
Zombie U
NSMBU
The Cave
Dead Space 2
Vanquish
Valkyria Chronicles
Demon's Souls (I got very far a few years ago, nearly finished but lost my system and the save file with it, I'd have to start it over again)
Resident Evil Revelations
Kid Icarus Uprising
Bowser's Inside Story
Code of Princess
Castlevania Order of Eclessia
SMT Devil Survivor Overclocked
Radiant Historia
The World Ends With You
Pokemon SoulSilver
Pokemon Conquest
Advance Wars Days of Ruin
Dragon Quest IX
Okamiden
Blue Dragon Awakened Shadow (DS)
Drakengard

What would you choose?
And please don't say: "whatever you feel like playing" because that's what I do and why I never end up properly playing a game. -_-

NSMBU
ZombiU
bowsers inside story
Dark souls

Mix of styles, console/handheld. Finish dark souls before restarting demons.
 
MGS2
Borderlands 2
Xenoblade
The Last Story
Dead Space 2
SMT Devil Survivor Overclocked
The World Ends With You

The World Ends With You should get priority. It's only 10 hours anyway, and the game itself is one of the best I've played.

MGS2 is great for mindfuckery, and Borderlands 2 is a good co-op game. Play DS2 if you plan on gettting 3, and I'm jealous you have Xenoblade and The Last Story, because I don't have my Wii right now. :I

I heard DSO is good, and I might end up doing that also for February, assuming P4G doesn't eat up too much time.

Here you go:

Dishonored

Rayman Origins

Vanquish

Valkyria Chronicles

Edit: Beaten to it!
 
Hmmmm. Me like this idea. I think my 4 will be

MGS 3 HD (just started yesterday, though this is my second time through)
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
God of War 3
Sonic 4 Ep 2

Seems doable.
 
Okay, let's do this.

Ni No Kuni
Assassin's Creed III
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (I already completed the cop campaign)
Tales of Graces f (maybe halfway through)
 
Hell, why not!

I'll be completing Sleeping Dogs (halfway now), New Super Mario Bros 2 (same), Cave Story+ and DmC. Just got Ni no Kuni in though, which I'm planning to take my sweet old time with. I don't expect I'll complete that one this month, so I'll put that on for March. I might squeeze God of War: Ghost of Sparta in there somewhere in my anticipation for Ascension, but it'll be a short month and I doubt I'll get that far.
 
I hope to get done with one game... hopefully. Maybe Sleeping Dogs. Or I'll finish up Dragon's Dogma. Or Anarchy Reigns.
 
Let's see....
I aim to beat ZombiU & Ninja Gaiden 3 : Razor's Edge this month...
Can someone pick other 2 from my backlog list?
1)Bravely Default:Flying Fairy
2)Trine 2 Director's Cut
3)The Last Story
4)Crimson Shroud
5)The Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword
6) Pandora's Tower
7)The Last Remnant
8)Darksiders 2
9)Kingdom Hearts 3D (Level 1 Critical Mode)
 
Not particularly formally, I suspect I could manage:


Pokemon FireRed (In Elite-Four-defeating-terms. As part of my Big Pokemon Project)
Two Worlds (I've pretty much entirely completed the content north of the river. Depends how big south of the river is in questing terms)
Black Mirror

I don't want to lock down my fourth game yet, because I'm in two minds about whether to go for Antichamber or Ys I (of the two-pack from Steam available in a little while). I might sub Rayman Origins in for one of these - I'm losing interest in Black Mirror a bit.
 
I wish I had some of the extra free time to play more games that some of you apparently have, and I do not mean that in a sarcastic way at all. I'm generally lucky to finish two games in a month.
 
I don't know what other 3 games I will play, but I've just started PoP: The Two Thrones recently and I hope to finish it (although glitchy speed kills and chariot sequences are annoying as hell).
 
Just started Dark Souls and I'm putting in an average of 30 minutes a day so I doubt this will be beat.

But I do have some other games I can try to power through.
