The goal is to beat one game every week. I tried this years ago and fell behind quickly and gave up somewhere in May with only 20 games down.

My only memories of this game is co-op runs with friends. We'd always use the game genie with infinite hearts, but inevitably a rogue projectile would stun-lock us, forcing a reset or more often, a new game. The rewind function in the Disney Afternoon Collection functioned much better and I've finally seen the entire game.
I liked the characters and world. I enjoyed the story and build up, though the resolution was a bit of a letdown. I did not enjoy the save file corruption. On the final day as I neared the end, I had second thoughts on a dialogue choice (one that made no difference in the end) and reset my game. I was unable to reload my game, forcing a replay. As I exited the game for the final time, I noticed that free play option that unlocks on completion was grayed out meaning even my clear save was corrupted. Delete.
I'm not really a Call of Duty person. Call of Duty 2 made a decent launch 360 game. World at War didn't feel quite right and the co-op was poorly implemented. Ghosts... just didn't do it for me and I struggled to find the will to finish it. So I didn't go into Infinite Warfare expecting much and came out pleasantly surprised. I actually enjoyed my play through. The space setting is something I haven't come across too often. The theme of the game is established early on, but even knowing that didn't diminish the impact of the final chapter.
A fun little Metroidvania style game. Definitely on the challenging side. If not for the ability to restart in the same room you died in, I'm not sure I would have finished it with only one save point in the game. I'm a little disappointed I couldn't find the last item for a full 100% completion. Frustrating at times, but overall I enjoyed it.
Glad to see that Uncharted still works with out Nathan Drake. The formula still works for me, the game looks gorgeous and the banter/tension between the main characters was great. I rushed through the game to clear it, but I'll definitely be doing a more leisurely playthough at some point.
Not much to say about this one. Unlike the first game, I never played it. That said, it was a solid platformer.
I wanted to like this one more than I did. It nails the atmosphere, but in many ways it's just not fun to play. I'm sure the isolation and constantly dwindling oxygen is something the developer was going for, but it comes at the cost of enjoyment.
Wow. What a game. A great story, great cast of characters, and (on lower difficulties) a fun FPS. I am generally not a fan of first-persona-shooters, but I came away from this one impressed and looking forward to playing through the sequel.
I came into this one knowing that it is not what it appears to be. I had some expectations as to what that might be, but the game went in directions I just did not expect. Recommended.
It may not be the first, but this is the game I see as the progenitor of the modern walking sim. There are negative connotations to that term, but I enjoyed my time with Gone Home. The story it told was more mundane than I expected, but no less touching.
