Completed in 2009...
It appears that only Michael Corvin, atxbomber, and I are actually updating our lists. The question, though, is anyone reading anyone else's lists? Last edited by Jeremy517; 11-16-09 at 12:12 PM. |

Re: Definitive Finished/Unfinished Report Card Thread 2009
Six people partaking this year?
![]() Oh well, I've knocked out 3 from the pile in the first 5 weeks of this year (Uncharted was borrowed). Prince of Persia ~ my favorite thus far. I'm about 40% through for a second time, achievement hunting for my final 4 I'm missing. I'll definitely get the DLC. This game was amazing and am looking forward to the expansion. Little Big Planet ~ If there was ever a game to cripple under the weight of it's own hype, it's this one. The first 2/3 of the game were amazing but when the last third rolled around that required precise platforming, the controls were unforgivable. It's a good game but definitely not GOTY worthy with those controls. How so many people let it slide boggle the mind. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed ~ I had a blast with this. Basically played through twice. Starting on Hard was a bitch, which I found out later, isn't how the game was designed to be played since you keep your stats when you start over. I wouldn't mind nabbing the DLC for this one either except all signs/reviews point to $10 being WAY overpriced for the amount of content they give you(30 minutes to complete).I'm working on Boom Blox right now and am about 33% complete. I forgot how fun this game is. I've given up on getting all Gold so I can actually finish the game. I think I'm hankering for a FPS next. F.E.A.R., COD:WaW, Turok or Condemned 2. Oh I also have Dead Space that I borrowed from a friend. Decisions... work on the pile or play Dead Space? ![]() |

I look forward to the 2010 thread with 3 participants. I do check them out when I update my list. I closed the book on a few that I've had 'open' for a while like Pure, Marvel:UA, & Boom Blox. I'm basically done with Pure, just missing 1st place on a handful of courses. I'm never going to finish Boom Blox at 100% and Marvel was fun for a bit, but it's worn out it's welcome. |

Re: Definitive Finished/Unfinished Report Card Thread 2009
Updated mine. My company stopped rolling over vacation this year, so I'm forced to take three weeks off at the end of December. I'm hoping to clear out alot of my gaming backlog then.

Re: Definitive Finished/Unfinished Report Card Thread 2009
My stack of unfinished or unplayed games is ridiculous and would take up too much room, but I'll post the status of 2009 releases I've played/am playing/plan to play. The categories I'm using are fairly self-explanatory. My ratings probably look harsh, but I'm basing everything off of 5 being average, unlike typical review sites that seem to hover around 7 as average. Also, I really don't have a problem with rating an unfinished game if I've played a good enough chunk to feel I understand it's strengths and weaknesses, so that's why there are ratings for almost everything.
Finished Batman: Arkham Asylum - 10/10 Brutal Legend - 7/10 Ghostbusters - 6/10 Halo 3: ODST - 7/10 Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 - 6/10 The Maw - 7/10 Peggle - 6/10 Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time - 8/10 Resident Evil 5 - 7/10 Scrabble - 8/10 Shadow Complex - 9/10 Uncharted 2 - 9/10 X-Men Origins: Wolverine - 6/10 Not finished yet, but definitely will be Borderlands - 8/10 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - 9/10 Left 4 Dead 2 - rating pending New Super Mario Bros. - rating pending Overlord 2 - 6/10 Prototype - 8/10 Splosion Man - 8/10 Started, got distracted and may or may not finish Beatles Rock Band - 9/10 Boom Blox Bash Party - 7/10 Chronicles of Riddick - rating pending Dead Space Extraction - 8/10 G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - 3/10 Guitar Hero: Metallica - 6/10 Guitar Hero 5 - 6/10 Lord of the Rings: Conquest - 5/10 Red Faction: Guerilla - 7/10 Scribblenauts - 5/10 Tiger Woods 10 - 9/10 Started, will likely never play again 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand - 5/10 Afro Samurai - 4/10 Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard - 3/10 Tom Clancy's HAWX - 6/10 Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - 5/10 Untouched pile Bionic Commando Dragon's Age: Origins FEAR 2: Project Origin Godfather 2 Guitar Hero: Van Halen

I go back to the comparison I made earlier to slavery. Slavery existed because it was commercially viable and there were those that justified it using circular logic (i.e. slavery was OK because people wanted to keep slaves). It was only when men of moral character started standing up to the slave traders/owners that the wheels were set in motion for the abolition of slavery. I draw a parallel to straight porn. - art Last edited by maxfisher; 11-16-09 at 02:35 PM. |

Re: Definitive Finished/Unfinished Report Card Thread 2009
Haven't done a boatload of gaming this year, so my brief list:
Finished: Uncharted 2 - PS3 - Single Player: A- // Multiplayer: B // Total Score : A- Fantastically realized game world, great characters, great script, solid and very entertaining plotline. Drags near the end as the game switches from action/adventure to straight, occasionally lifeless action. Multiplayer is well executed but lacks excitement. Modern Warfare 2 - X360 - Single Player - B+ // Multiplayer - A- // Total Score - A- Single player included some of the most memorable, badass game moments of this gen. The story, on the otherhand, is entertaining though cliche and muddled. It's also a tad short, but totally replayable and an absolute blast. Multiplayer is badass - exciting, fast, fun and furious. Gears of War 2 - X360 - Single Player: B+ // Multiplayer: B+ // Total Score: B+ Single player was a lot more fun (imo) this time around. The levels were varied and the action was an incredible amount of fun. Didn't care much for the plot, but fun no less (and it looked gorgeous). Multiplayer was much better this time around. Splosion Man - X360 Arcade - Single Player: B+ // Multiplayer: C- (bugs) // Total Score: B- Best overall platformer so far this year despite bugs that hinder the multiplayer mode. Little Big Planet - PS3 - Single Player: B // Multiplayer: B // Total Score: B Relentlessly hyped and beautiful to behold, LBP failed to live up to expectation. The game is fun, but single player is incredibly short and unless you really like collecting things, not particularly fun to replay. The online/user created levels are nice but feel like bonuses instead of core content. Multiplayer doesn't add or take away from the fun for me. Street Fighter 4 - X360 - Overall: B- Decent rendition of the classic series, fun but easily forgotten. Guitar Hero 5 - X360 - Overall: C+ More of the same. Bias though as GH hasn't been my thing since Harmonix stopped developing it, just feels "off". Unfinished Infamous (PS3) Brutal Legend (PS3) Braid (360) Shadow Complex (360) Broken Sword (Wii) Half-Life 2 (360)

Re: Definitive Finished/Unfinished Report Card Thread 2009
Maybe you would finish more games if you wouldn't constantly write in you diaries about how Nathan Drake brushed your chest as he walked by or how that creepy guy from Infinite Undiscovery keeps leering at you from the back of the class.
