NeoGAF Rolling Backlogathon - Now Logging for December 2010

One down for July:
Half-Life 2 (PC)



YTD (2010)
March - Last Remnant (PC)
April - Mass Effect (PC), Secret of Monkey Island:Special Edition (PC)
May - Bioshock (PC)
June - Portal (PC), King's Bounty: THe Legend (PC),Miles Edgeworth Investigations (DS)
 
One down for July. Just finished Castlevania: Order Of Ecclesia. Great game and actually pretty challenging. I even finished it with 100% of the map and all the glyphs.

I recently picked up a DSiXL so I am playing through a bunch of DS games that I have. Next up, Chrono Trigger. I owned this back on the SNES but never actually finished it. Really looking forward to playing through it.
 
Alan Wake is done. I love love LOVED every minute of it! Anxiously awaiting for the DLC, I wish I would have gotten the Collector's Edition

2 points for July:
Bayonetta
Alan Wake

Backlog:
Ghostbusters Wii (Co-op with GF, waiting for her to finish Spirit Tracks before starting)

Well I guess that's as low as I can get the backlog for now! From this point forward, I hope to only ever have 2, one I'm currently playing and 1 on deck. Up next, Puzzle Quest 2! That doesn't mean that I don't have a mental backlog of like 10 games though. What's important is that I haven't spent the money on them yet and won't run the risk of buying several games and never playing them. Huzzah!
 
And thats four

God of War 2 (PS3)
Resistance 2 (PS3)
Civilisation Revolution (DS)
God of War (PS3)

Total: 4

Have no idea where to go next. The backlog isn't looking any smaller.
 
Nine.

Suikoden: Tierkreis
Mega Man Zero
Mega Man Zero 2
Mega Man Zero 3
Mega Man Zero 4
Taiko no Tastujin DS 3
Taiko no Tatsujin DS
Taiko no Tatsujin DS 2
Super Mario Galaxy 2

Still working on Dragon Ball Origins.
 
8 down for July

Sonic Rush
Metroid Prime Pinball
Contra 4
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Mega Man ZX
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Mega Man ZX Advent
Alone in the Dark: Inferno


ZXA was good, much better paced than the first game. As for Inferno, it seemed so washed out that I couldn't really appreciate many of the changes they made to the game for the PS3 version.
 
Two points for July

1. Mass Effect: Finished campaign and some side-quests
2. Crackdown 2: Completed story mode and most side missions
 
Got my third one with Sam&Max: They Stole Max´s Brain!

Edit: And my fourth one, with Monkey Island 2: SE.

So far in July it´s:
Sam&Max: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak
Heavy Rain
Sam&Max: They Stole Max´s Brain!
Monkey Island 2: SE
 
Eight down now with Super Metroid. I could never get past the first couple of screens when I was kid and I finally got around to it after seeing my friend by the SNES version at a local Play N' Trade. I'm super happy that I finished it. It was a great fucking game, probably the best out of all the ones I've played so far.

1. Golden Sun: The Lost Age
2. Megaman X
3. Splinter Cell: Conviction
4. Pixeljunk Shooter
5. Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge
6. Battlefield: Bad Company
7. Megaman Zero
8. Super Metroid.
 
Completed FF13 main story (last boss was way too easy...)

Still need to beat about 40 of the stone missions and get all weapons and accesories.

Next I will try and complete Ratchet and clank crack in time, then probably go for God of war 1,2 and 3.
 
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva - While I wish the rhythm gameplay was deeper and more challenging, the excellent music and extras make it worthwhile.
Puzzle Quest Chapters 1 and 2 - The iPod port isn't very good, but the gameplay itself is a fun twist on the old Match-3 standard and well worth the 0$ I paid. Since I don't feel like paying for Chapter 3, I'm going to mark it beat and call it a day.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 6: Dawn of the Golden Witch
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Patapon

Total for July: 5
 
9 down for July

Sonic Rush
Metroid Prime Pinball
Contra 4
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Mega Man ZX
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Mega Man ZX Advent
Alone in the Dark: Inferno
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

I was originally under the impression that this was just the first game with the Crystal Skull chapters thrown in, but it turns out they completely remade the levels from the first three movies. Can't necessarily say they're better, but they were different.
 
Finally just finished Secret of Monkey Island

Sam and Max 301
Sam and Max 302
Sam and Max 303
The Secret of Monkey Island

4 points.
 
Number 5 with Deathspank.


1. Sam&Max: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak

3. Sam&Max: They Stole Max´s Brain!
4. Monkey Island 2: SE
5. Deathspank
 
Three for July!

Kid Icarus
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Dragon Quest 9

Although, I'm still -18 for this month on backlog progress and I won't be fixing that any time soon, but! Still! Woo! three games so far.
 
Adam Prime said:
... I am never going to finish fucking Bit.Trip Runner. Stuck on 3-11 ARRRGH tried for half an hour today!
I lost count of how many times I died on 3-10 and 3-11 (I know it took me a lot longer than half an hour), but I did manage to finish the game. The floating balls on the stairs and neverending bouncing blocks were always what did me in, although I eventually got the hang of the latter. Great game, almost nudges out Beat as the best in the series, makes up for the disappointing Core and Void.

-3-

Bit.Trip Runner

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
Sin and Punishment: Star Successor

Lego Star Wars (Wii)
Ratchet and Clank (PS2)

Metroid Prime Pinball
Contra 4
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Mega Man ZX
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Mega Man ZX Advent
Alone in the Dark: Inferno
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
Tokyo Beat Down

I really wanted to like this game, but it didn't have the depth of fighting moves of most beat 'em ups, and the hit detection was shocking.
 
Four for July!

Kid Icarus
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Dragon Quest 9
Famicom Detective Club Part 2

I love summer vacation. <3

Been working on this one for a while, hit Elite rank this morning. I've now got gold medals on every crash junction from Burnout 2: Developer's Cut, Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout: Revenge 360. Shame they changed how crash mode works for Paradise.
 
And again

Sam and Max 304

Mega Man ZX
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Mega Man ZX Advent
Alone in the Dark: Inferno
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
Tokyo Beat Down
Burnout Revenge (Xbox 360)
Star Fox Command

Not a bad little game, doesn't leave much room for error and it doesn't have a lot of depth, though. Need to keep chopping away at the DS catalogue.
 
Each Sam and Max Episode counts as 1 point?

In that case:

5 down for July

Puzzle Agent
Sam and Max 101
Sam and Max 102
Sam and Max 103
Sam and Max 104
 
7 complete in July

Global Defence Force
Starfox Adventures
Hatsune Miku - Project Diva
Sabrina The Animated Series: Zapped!
Hello Kitty Roller Rescue
Sly 3: Honour Among Thieves
Warioware Touched!

Didn't really enjoy it, I think the novelty of Warioware has worn off for me. Red Seeds Profile has been slow going so I think next months total will be very low.
 
Just finished Dragon Quest IX. That's seven points. Since probably finish another game today, so I'll save space and list all of them in that post.
 
Sure, it's a freebie, but Alien Swarm counts, right?
