The topic is succinct enough, any supplemental text is unnecessary. Oh, I was supposed to leave this blank if that was the case? Well, no-one tells me anything.
Some stats, then, since the year seems to have passed:
Showing 1-10 of 67 items
10/01-24/01. Technically the first game I beat this year. Deeply unpleasant game. Didn't help I had some kind of Winter Pox at the time. Try holding your food in when giant baby demons are eating everyone.
28/01-31/01. First rental for the PS3. Got all trophies in a matter of hours. I've noticed Ubisoft games of late take approximately the length of a Lord of the Rings movie (an extended edition, mind, I'll give them some credit) to beat these days. As a renter, I approve of the "short yet plentiful" approach to game releases.
01/01-01/02. First game of the year, but I didn't beat it "properly" (i.e. Crushing Mode a.k.a. "Why won't this bald Russian asshole die already?") until a month later. One of the few games I occasionally multiplayer.
04/01-01/02. Like Uncharted 2, I swept up the remaining trophies some time after beating it. Borderlands and its more traditional Roguelike brethren are like a giant tub of ice cream: Awesome initially, then time passes in the magical realm of overindulgence to the point where the very thought of it makes you nauseous.
01/02-07/02. So I followed up a dungeon crawl (barren planetoid crawl?) with another one. So sue me. This is the first of several attempts to clear up my PS2 backlog, something which continues to seem unconquerable. The game itself is solid but fairly uninteresting, as I suspected it might be.
11/02-14/02. Nothing like picking over the previous game's leftovers for a fulfilling video game sequel.
16/02-20/02. What a completely mediocre little platformer. This was the PS3's killer app? The only way a game could be blander and cutesier would be a Tetris where the blocks were stuffed toys. Heh, "Tedtris".
21/02-24/02. Still, there's a lot to be said for cute. At least LBP never made me kill unbaptized babies with Baraka claws. So many cracks to make at this game, some of them hairy.
26/02-03/03. Not a game about defending girls on the internet, but almost as rewarding. This "single player (but with an optional multiplayer mode!)" game carefully holds back approximately 70% of its content for those optional online users to enjoy. Great.
2009-03/03. Actually started some time before this year, very much one of those "intermittent plays" types. I probably still have Jiggies remaining, I recall some of the challenges getting awfully tough for the non-mechanically minded. If I had innovations beyond "attach rockets to everything and pray to bear Jesus" it might've helped.
