My steam library contains APB as well as Brink.

At least Brink has a single player.

Yakuza 4 was so good, and it makes me really want to drop however much on Yakuza of the Dead or whatever the hell it is going to end up being, because it is going to mostly the same but with a guy with a minigun grafted to his arm. There isn't even going to be a train we aren't getting off of in it.

This is a bad month for backlogs.

Doing revisions and additions to my own collection and wish lists makes me realize how set I'm going to be for gaming for a long time.

I managed to beat three games in about a week's time. That's pretty good. Sadly those are just the games I bought in the winter sale, so my backlog is about the same as it was before I started.

PS: Hard Reset was pretty bad. I was teetering on liking and disliking it, but the last few levels were really annoying. I died a lot, but not because the game was hard.

I'm going through my backlog, and I've noticed that a lot of the games I had in progress were bullshit and I hate them. I finally got through Chaos City on Sonic Generations, and that made me never want to play it again.

So how do I do this on Backloggery? Do I mark the games I am done with beaten, or just null them out? At this point Backloggery is only there to remind me which games I stopped playing a few months ago.

I'd say Null them out with a note of "No longer interested in playing due to ____." That way when you go back to look at it you remember "Oh that's why I quit."

I should stop buying armfulls of used games when I visit game stores. Yet I have a list to finish. I actually went through Amazon's wish list system to create the Omega List of games I need for PS1/PS2/Xbox/N64 to feel complete. Then it might be time to move backwards to SNES/Genesis/NES

I buy games in such massive single chunks that managing my backloggery would probably take more effort than clearing it.

I beat Dungeons of Dredmor so definitively that I don't even feel the desire to buy the expansion.

Oh wait now I'm addicted.

Bulletstorm is pretty good. Next time you see it on sale for 5 bucks you should pick it up.

Sniper Elite V2 is not very good. Do not buy it. It only starts to be a little fun in the last hour, and even then Mass Effect is a much better sniper game.

F3AR was actually quite good. It was about as short as Sniper was (5 hours), but the action was pretty fun, and I bet the coop is even better with the game's wacky rating system at the end. It was almost worth the 7 or so bucks the game is usually on sale for to see that they were still running with the plot of the series despite how ridiculous it got.

Onwards towards the Y's games. Felghana seems pretty good so far.

Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga does a lot of interesting things with quests. Basically you can mindread people and usually get the upper hand in a lot of quests, and usually gives you huge stat boosts or loot drops. It would be a really good RPG if it were in a vacuum. I've had enough of it now that it gave me a string of 4 areas that are nearly the same. 22 hours is good enough. I am probably only a quarter of the way through the first of two parts of this damn game.

Come on, step it up.

Bastion is fantastic with only one exception made for committing the cardinal sin of having an incredible combat system and virtually zero bosses. Wait, what.

Well this old man'd give it a 5/5 since I'm hearing this line in Ruck's voice.

Gish is a puzzle game for people who were wondering what the Super Meat Boy guys did before they made games that were actually good.

1/5 would puke again.

Recettear is a great game but a little samey, like how there isn't actually that many hidden values to customer buyouts and you can achieve ridiculous 95% sale efficiency by always selling at 114% mark-up and just cultivating a customer base that will pay that for big money wares. Also the dungeon crawling is fun enough but not that great.

4/5 I'm really gay for moe blobs.

Faster Than Light is a pretty entertaining Rogue-Like with all the flaws I could associate with the Rogue-Like genre, mostly related to frustration and RNG horse-shit. Also it's kinda really bad form that the last boss is a puzzle that requires very specific layouts and punishes some weapon layout creativity.

4/5 in general, 1/5 if you're trying to unlock the Crystal Ship or something.

Borderlands 1 is completed because I beat the DLC with 3 friends and uhhh General Knoxx is pretty great and Dr ZNed was one of the few times I felt genuinely intimidated by the enemies but as per the core Borderlands experience all the bosses are bad jokes and oh yeah General Knoxx had a really bad obsession with long-distance vehicle travel time and that sucked.

3/5 Knoxx, 3/5 Moxxi, 4/5 Ned, 3/5 Claptrap, 4/5 Overall Game With Friends, 2/5 Alone.

Burrito Bison and Burrito Bison Revenge are perfect flash games. Just try them.

5/5 x2 had to slap own wrist to not grind out every achievement in Revenge.

X-Com: Enemy Unknown the new one is really great, it really captures the spirit of the originals and is fun as all heck and has a modern UI that makes it easier to get into than the oldies. As a giant nerd I actually miss all the stuff they took out and as a giant sperg I really wish they'd diversify enemy line-ups a bit more buuuuut it still rules.

5/5 will play again on harder difficulties.

Torchlight 1 is Diablo 2 for idiots who can't let Diablo 2 go, I fired it up to get it the fuck off my list and I did the entire game as a Shoot Guns Lady Class and it was pretty boring as fuck, I feel bad that somebody would copy Diablo 2 this hard and deliver more boring skill trees. Oh and all the enemy design in the last half of the main game is incredibly bad, I'm talking enemies that can hit you with nearly instant full-screen attacks the second you see them. Don't worry though, I realized that if you use the "Resurrect Instantly But Lose Experience" option until you bottom out of your current level, you won't lose a level or anything. I beat the last two bosses of the game by face-tanking them and resurrecting 30+ times while watching Adventure Time and idly hitting Right-Click so that my Explosive Shot would go off at least one time before I died again.

3/5, it's a competent Diablo 2 clone except for all the times it's not and the amateur design mistakes really hurt.

Half Minute Hero is on Steam now and it's a 4 hour parody JRPG that is better than a lot of 60 hour modern JRPGS. The writing wit and charm and the design is outstanding, it really shows that these dudes knew what they were doing to make things fun and to get you really into the game. My favorite little touch is that the excellent sound-track is designed around the game's 30 second gimmick so most tracks are shorter than 90 seconds, many 60 or even 30. QUALITY.

Play through the entire game on Retro Graphics first, they butcher the other three awesome game modes pretty badly with the new stuff.

5/5 Would Rewind Time Again.

Even if I stopped buying entire game series (did I mention I got all of GTA and all of Tomb Raider in the last winter sale?), the existence of eBay means I'll still pick up entire movie series.  LotR+Star Wars+Pirates of the Caribbean=Enough commentary tracks to last an entire summer, if I actually had summers.
