An unintended consequence of trying to increase my video game library has been the creation of a backlog. This idea of a backlog is new to me as I've never really had more than one game I've wanted to play at a time. When I say play, I don't mean to completion in most cases. Generally I'll finish with a game once I've stopped having fun and feel that I've had value for money from my purchase. I have found that in this generation especially the ratio of games completed to played has fallen substantially. Take for instance Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and it's sequel. I barely scratched the surface of either game's single player campaign, yet feel that I got excellent value from all the time spent in online multi-player. So I think it is fair to say I'm not a completionist. So my backlog is games I've yet to even play, rather than fully complete.
At the moment I'm really enjoying Assassin's Creed 2, while the following games languish in the backlog.
- Darksiders
- Dead Space
- Ghostbusters
- Luigi's Mansion
- Mario Kart Double Dash
- ModNation Racers
- Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
- Muramasa: The Demon Blade
- Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time
- Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Bounty
- Red Dead Redemption
- Saints Row 2
- Split / Second
- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
- Super Mario Galaxy 2
- Super Mario Sunshine
- Super Street Fighter IV
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Limited Edition
- Transformers War for Cybertron
Of those games Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the one that I want to tackle next, while Dead Space is most likely to remain unplayed I'd say.
