Conquests of 2011 (Games I have beaten this year)

by bobafettjm

Every year I tell myself I should track how many games I beat in a year, well now this year I am going to do it. I want to try and finish a wide variety of game types. I am also wanting to go back and complete some retro games, some I have beaten in the past and some I have not.

Showing 1-10 of 51 items

Mass Effect 2

1. Mass Effect 2

Incredible game. I missed this one in 2010, but I am super glad I ended up playing through it. I plan on playing through this one more times as well. Took me about 36 hours.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

2. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

Finished this one in one day, but that doesn't detract from the awesomeness. I played through this one on Co-op with my wife the whole way through and it was a really great experience. There are not many games anymore that are this co-op puzzle solving style that I really love. I would recommend this game to anyone who wants a great co-op experience that is not an FPS game. Took me about 7 hours to beat it on co-op.

Plants vs. Zombies

3. Plants vs. Zombies

I have beaten this game about 4 times over on the PC already, but this time I finished it on the 360. So now I have beaten this game a total of 5 times and I still love it. I also love the fact that there is Co-op on the 360 version. This one took me a few hours to beat.

Serious Sam: The First Encounter

4. Serious Sam: The First Encounter

I have owned this game on PC since it was released, but for one reason or another never got around to finishing it. Well due to the recent weekly sale on XBLA, I picked up the HD version. Well this time I decided it was time to finally sit down and finish this baby, and finish it I did. I still found fun in this obviously dated shooter, and I am now starting on the second one. There were times where it got pretty repetitive, but still overall a pretty fun time.

Stacking

5. Stacking

Stacking is an XBLA game from one of my favorite developers, Double Fine. This game was so fun to play, throughout the entire game there were things that made me smile. There really isn't enough games like this now days. I loved the puzzles in this game, especially that there are multiple ways to complete each puzzle. I haven't gotten 100% complete yet, but I finished the main story mode. I am eagerly awaiting Double Fine's next game.

Dance Central

6. Dance Central

It is hard to "beat" this game, but I did go through and beat every song the game had to offer. This game is certainly not "my type" of game, but I did have some fun with it.

Assassin's Creed II

7. Assassin's Creed II

Wow, this is a game that I somehow just completely missed when it came out. Then in early March I got it for my birthday. This game seems to improve upon everything that was wrong in Assasin's Creed 1. This was also a really long game, much longer than I had expected but I was still wanting more.

Pokémon Black/White

8. Pokémon Black/White

Finished the White version. I have to say I still really enjoy the Pokemon games, but a good amount of the new Pokemon I just don't like as much. Despite that there are numerous upgrades in these new games that more than warrants buying another Pokemon adventure. I also think the "end" of this game is more difficult than any other Pokemon game.

Torchlight

9. Torchlight

I have owned Torchlight for the PC since it was released, but it doesn't run real well on my PC so I never ended up finishing it. Well now it is out on XBLA and that is the platform I finished it on. I have to say I REALLY enjoyed playing this game on my TV with a controller. This game controls so good on a controller. I was completely hooked on this game and played it pretty much every time I turned on my Xbox, even when I had planned to play something else. Bring on Torchlight 2 and the Co-op.

Homefront

10. Homefront

This game took me a total of around 3 hours to complete the single player. This is officially the shortest game I have played in quite some time. Not only was it three hours, but I also encountered quite a bit of glitches and problems. Well at least the online portion of the game is fun, which I will play for at least a little while.
