Happy New Year

Evening folks,
Hope you all had a great New Year Eve last night and not too hung over, I spent the night watching movies and had a great time with the girlfriend.

Now it's no New Year with out some resolutions and so for my new years resolution I've decided to do a challenge. The2 for 1 challenge has started for me today, well actually it started last Saturday but who care about the minor details. Anyway the rules are simple "I cannot buy another game until I've finished two out of my pile of shame", originally it was 1 for 1 but a work friend changed my mind.

Of course I'm kinda now regretting that decision since I just realised how many games are coming out across the next few months, so I really could do with getting my ass into gear and get something finished. In fact I'm very close to finishing off Lego Lord of the Rings for the Xbox 360 which will be my first game of the year, plus it would be the second game of my challenge. So I'm off to a nice start which will cover me for Ni No Kuni at the end of the month but still need another two since I've heard the Hitman HD Collection is out as well at the end of the month.

If I stick to one game at a time I have no doubt that I will get through my collection, my problem as always been there are too many games I want to play at the same time. So a lot of stuff gets pushed to the side or half finished, so I need to cut down on how many I'm playing. Also would be wise to try and clock the new games I buy instead of letting them gather dust, though to be fair I did well this Christmas with a good chunk finished.

It will be a interesting year anyway, just made a quick note on the games coming out the first quarter and I'm now really regretting making the rule two games.

Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires
Starcraft 2 Heard of the Swarm
Ni No Kuni
Hitman HD Collection
Gears of War Judgement
Tomb Raider
Last of Us
Bioshock Infinite
Crysis 3
God of War Ascension
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

That's a lot of games for the first three/four months, well wish me luck and lets hope I get that pile of shame down.

  1. Good luck following that plan!! My plan is to try and finish more games and not get distracted as much when a new one comes out and I go play that instead. I'm as bad as you are!! It's a gamer thing!! :D
