So I’ve been slowly but surely making my way though some of the games that I already own with the intention of selling/trading them when I’ve finished. Now granted this approach doesn’t work for everyone; for example, I have a friend who plays through an older Zelda game about once a year, by his account, because he likes the story. I’m the kind of gamer that usually plays through games once and then I can be on to the next one. Video games that I keep around are more of the high re-playability games and group “party” games like, for me, the guitar hero series, Mario Kart, Wii Sports, etc… So I will make a page with this list that I will hopefully keep updated with my progress, but for now check below the fold for the current list of systems/games and where they all stand.

A little explanation first, I’m going to mark my progress as best I can for the games I have. Games that are crossed off will be sold/traded when finished otherwise they are kept. Obviously I can’t really trade or sell my PC games very easily so all of them are going to be kept. From newest console to oldest (PC games last):

Wii

  • Lego Batman – More than half
  • No More Heroes – Just Started
  • Redsteel – Not Started
  • Star Wars: Force Unleashed – Finished
  • Zelda: twilight Princess – Finished

Nintendo DS

  • Zelda: Phantom Hourglass – Finished

X-box (not 360)

  • Halo
  • Halo 2
  • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

PS2

  • Devil May Cry
  • Final Fantasy X
  • Grand Theft Auto 3
  • Grand Theft Auto Vice City

PC

  • Half-Life 2
  • HL2 Episode 1
  • HL2 Episode 2
  • Portal – Finished Main Story

Instead of trying to strictly work on write ups for here I’m going to use this more as a kind of status report for my many ongoing projects that I always seem to be working on. I’m thinking that this will hopefully motivate me to work on them more often and maybe even bring some of them to completion. Doing status reports at work usually gets me to work on tasks more often, so I’m hoping that blog posts here will have the same affects on my personal projects. I still haven’t decided on a file structure of what I’m going to do specifically; break everything down by pages, use just posts, or a combination of the two. I also might do another more personal site with another of my domains I have I’ll have to wait and see.
