Working through the back catalogue
I was reading on ufck about a project that someone was working on, and I’ve basically decided to take that general concept and steal it for myself.
It is no secret that I love video games, and have since I was a kid. My parents didn’t understand why they were buying their 23 year old kid a PS2 for Christmas – little do they know I’ll be first in line for a PS9 when I’m 62.
So anyway, I have a tremendous back catalogue of games that I am embarrased and ashamed to admit that I have never played. Metal gear solid. Metroid prime. Bioshock. Fable. A drawer full of RPGs that I couldn’t list out right now if I wanted to. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that I have probably spent thousands on games that I have yet to play.
I’m going to try and change that and play through the catalog in no particular order, and while I play, I’m going to write.
Why? Who cares? Well chances are no one cares. Hopefully by writing about my experience with these games I’ll accomplish three things: actually updating this site once in a while, knocking some of these games off of my list before more good games come out, and maybe even improving my writing a little while I’m at it.
So next up: the back catalogue listing and Fallout.
