Lock if we already have one, but the search fuction did not help me

The challenge is simple, complete three games in Septembert. They can be games you started in July 2013, or December 1997, it doesn't matter, just get them done by October.

Last month you had to complete 4 games in your backlog, so in september (due to the release of GTA V and Rome 2), I will chill it down to 3 games to complete in september. So, it's time for some backlog killing.

this month is going to be a busy month.

but here's my list:

- Battleblock Theater (those last levels are ballscrushingly hard)
- Rayman Origins
- Assassin's Creed: Revelaitons (one AC per month until AC4!)

this month will come with side quests like: Castle of Illusion HD, Kingdom Hearts HD and Puppeteer, as I said - busy month!
 
I wonder how may will attempt to clear this on/after septemper 17th

I know I have some unfinished games somewhere.

Got a bit of free time this month, so hopefully I can beat my list and play my way through some of my bonus games too.

My List:
- Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2 - Innocent Sin (PSP/Vita)
- The Last of Us (PS3)
- Chaos on Deponia (PC)

Bonus list:
- Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Soul Hackers (3DS)

- Antichamber (PC)
- Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition (PC)
- New Little King's Story (Vita)
- Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner (PS3)

I have many unplayed games, so I'm trying to reach a point where I don't feel guilty buying full-priced stuff.
 
999 (DS)

Deus Ex: GOTY Edition (Steam)

SMT IV (3DS)

Haven't touched 999 or Deus Ex but I'm somewhere around half done with SMT IV. I think I can do this :P
 
I would really really like to finish Ultima 5 this month. That one has been long overdue. The other two I'll have to decide as and when I get to 'em. LET'S DO THIS RAWR!
 
For me it is going to be;

Rayman Origins(PC)
Black Mesa(PC)
Splinter Cell: Blacklist(PC)

Now if I could just stop playing Dota 2, CS:GO, World of Tanks for the month I could actually achieve this!
 
I am going to do

Tales of Xillia (I've already put 30 hours into it, so I shouldn't be too far off)
Rayman Legends
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs

Hopefully I beat

Puppeteer
Grand Theft Auto V
 
Rayman Origins (PC)
Rayman Legends (PC)
Darksiders (PC)

Bonus:

Spec Ops: The Line (PC)
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams (PC)
 
GTA V
Saints Row IV
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified
Splinter Cell Blacklist

I put 4 because i am like 80% from beating SR4 and about 70% through blacklist.
 
4 for this month, with games I've already started:
Devil May Cry 4
Spyro the Dragon
New Super Luigi U
Pikmin 3

Bonus:
ICO
Shadow of the Colossus
I'm most likely getting KH1.5
And whatever I impulse rent from Gamefly
 
Hoping to complete

Tales of Vesperia PS3 (fairly unlikely, I'm currently 40 hours in...)
Resident Evil Revelations 3DS (semi likely)
DmC PS3 (fairly likely)

For backup I'll list

Star Fox 3DS
Etrian Odyssey IV 3DS (no chance... the game is probably huge and it doesn't come out here until the 12th)
MGR: Revengeance PS3
Lollipop Chainsaw PS3
 
This is my first time, so I'll be gentle.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified
Saints Row IV
Grand Theft Auto V

Bonus game will probably be Shelter!
 
The challenge is simple, complete four games in August. They can be games you started in July 2013, or December 1997, it doesn't matter, just get them done by September.
...This wouldn't've happened if you'd let Anderson Cooper make the thread!
:P
 
The Last of Us
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
GTA V

The last is an unknown quantity because no one's sure how long it exactly. Still hoping to make some good progress at it though!
 
I'll try and slam through...

the Darkness 2
Killer is Dead
Metal Gear Solid 4

Most of the work on MGS4 is already done, I just need to complete 3 more playthroughs to acquire various emblems and then finish a Big Boss run. Really not looking forward to that.
 
I posted in one of these way back in Q1/Q2 2013 and totally dropped the ball. But ya know I'm tired of talking about games more than playing them so I'm gonna try this time. Sign me
up for this month. Not too interested in the yearly leaderboard stuff, just wanna force myself to play some games :)

- Tomb Raider: Legend
- Amnesia
- F.E.A.R.
 
Don't have that much in the backlog, but let's put what's in there on the list and see where it goes.

*Fallout: New Vegas DLC
*Deus Ex: Human Revolution- Missing Link
*Ico HD

The only thing I have in the backlog other then that is Shadow of the Colossus HD and Far Cry 3. But Far Cry 3 feels pretty dumb now though that novelty has worn off, so I'm not sure that actually will bother.
 
If it were to happen it would consist of:

Spirit tracks
Pokemon White
And probably rhythm heaven i guess?

In practice my gaming will probably look like:

Beat white's story mode
dabble in rhythm heaven and dark souls
catch more pokemon
 
Not so much of a backlog blitz this month but:

  • Sonic 3 (XBLA version) - A couple levels in. Isn't holding up so great to me
  • Doom UV run (XBLA version) - Holds up marvilously. Around the End of E2 ATM
  • GTA5 (Xbox) - Hopefully I'll clear out the above two before this comes out. The rest of Sept will be spent here.

Of course there will be rounds of SF4 and DOTA2 in the mix as always. Really want to dive into some of my queue, but I know what GTA will do to my time.
 
- Soma Bringer (DS)
- Pikmin 1 (Wii) (To prepare for Pikmin 3 when I get it)
- Pikmin 2 (Wii) (Same as above)
 
I failed miserably in August so trying to catch up in September:

  1. The Wonderful 101
  2. Earthbound
  3. Pandora's Tower

Bonus Game 1: StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm (already almost done or halfway done so that should be easy to do)
Bonus Game 2: Game & Wario (still not sure if you can really "beat" that one.[/QUOTE]
 
When they launch this month:
-The Wonderful 101
-Rayman Legends
-Puppeteer

My actual "backlog" picks:
-Tales of Xillia (about 30 hours in, probably close to half way through)
-Ni-no-Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (about 50 hours in, nearing the end)
-New Super Luigi U

Let's leave it at that for now, hah! We'll see how I do.
 
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Portal 2

Holdover from August:
The Swapper
