My 2012 Video Game Hit-list (Updated)

First and foremost, no, this isnt a count down of what I think are the "Hits" of this year, but rather a list of games that I have not completed that I want to over the course of the year. Its a daunting list, but I think that I'll be able to chop off some games from my seriously large backlog. Lets get started:

1- Tales of Graces f (main quest completed)

-Im on the final chapter of the main quest, and after that i have the "future" arc (hence the f in the title). That shouldnt take much time and should be the first game off my hit-list.

2: Donkey Kong Country Returns (up to world 8??? i think...)

I got through about 90% of the game last summer, and this summer I plan to finally finish up the game. Its insanely fun, and I would definitely feel wrong if I didnt complete it. Makes it number 2 on my hit-list.

3: Beyond Good and Evil HD (at the end, gotta collect some pearls and then i can finish the game)

This game I started last summer as well, and I'm definitely a fan. I'm a little more than half way through it from what I know, and after finishing at least one of the games above, I want to dive back into BG&E.

4- Xenoblade Chronicles (a little over 21 hours in)

I've wanted to sink my teeth into this game since I bought earlier this month, but I didnt want to play this AND Tales at the same time. With ToG wrapping up soon, i think ill be digging into Xenoblade in the near future.

5- Resident Evil: Revelations (Complete)

I absolutely love this game, but with all of the console titles that I've been playing, this game got put on the backburner. I really dig the game, and in anticipation of RE6, its only right that I finish this one up in a somewhat timely mannor.

Thats the top 5 as of now, but there are plenty more;

Assassins Creed Brotherhood (up to memory 4)

Borderlands: Claptraps New Revolution DLC

Enslaved: Oddessy to the West (a few chapters in...)

Radiant Historia (about 15 hours in)

Bulletstorm

Dead Space

Limbo

Kirby's Epic Yarn

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (xD unlikliest on my whole list, but i swear, I'll get to it one day...i hope)

Kid Icarus: Uprising (half way through)

etc...


I do want to mention that there are a few games that I haven't picked up that are sort of Backlogged in my brain such as:

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Assassins Creed Revelations

FF: XIII-2

SoulCalibur V (still interested in trying it...)

Skullgirls

The Walking Dead

JOURNEY...

 

 

This year will be tough. I have most of the summer, but once August hits and Transformers comes out, its all down hill. Along with Fall of Cybertron, Resident Evil 6, Assassins Creed 3, Borderlands 2, and the possible monsterous launch of the WiiU only mean my backlog will grow even more. Lets see how many I can knock out this summer, Ill try to keep it updated as I go!

Wish me luck!

That's a pretty good backlog to have, at least you know you have great games in store. My backlog consists of two different categories: games I own that I need to finish, and games I need to buy. The games I own and still need to finish are:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution (just started it a couple days ago)

Fable 3

Star Ocean: The Last Hope

The games in my backlog that I still need to buy are (this is basically my current priority list of "games-to-buy"):

Dark Souls (I want this so bad it's at the top of the list, and getting it new on Amazon is getting pretty cheap)

Civilization Revolution (can't get enough Sid Meier, and price is pretty low now)

Halo 4 (my most anticipated game of 2012)

Mass Effect 3 (need to finally play it and complete the trilogy my Shep started)

Warhammer 40k Space Marine (is dirt cheap anymore)

Ninja Gaiden 2 (is likewise dirt cheap anymore)

That's my current list of games to buy and play. Now if a Complete edition of Skyrim comes out at any point this year, it will shoot up the list to the top because I haven't played it and I've been waiting patiently for time to go by, for the bugs to be fixed, for expansion packs to come out, and eventually have a complete edition. I've been playing Morrowind and Oblivion again, and trying to bide my time. I'd be surprised if a complete edition never came out, it wouldn't make sense, and I would start a fucking riot I'd be so pissed that I waited so long for nothing lol. They need to just fix Skyrim, put out some expansions, get a complete edition going, and make this shit happen sometime this year.

Thats a great list as well. If I added the games that I'm anticipating, this list would be crazy long, lol. I did realize I forgot Rayman Origins and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, both games I bought on impulse but both also very good. I am glad that at least these are great games to look forward to as you mentioned. 

There are some games that Im just scared to touch, like Skyrim and Dragon Age: Origins, just because they are monstrous in length and Id rather just take care of most of these first. Its a daunting task, but not impossible! Good luck with your list as well!
