Maggots vs The Backlog - Part 2

So I've had a good and a bad start to my new years backlog resolution by finishing a game and buying one, so technically I'm even and back to the start! I finished Super Mario 3D Land the other day, just finished, there's still a heap more stuff until I'm completed it properly and I bought Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS ($25 preowned, how could I not!)


Which brings me to how a game can be 'finished' and 'completed' and what's the difference. I consider 'finishing' a game when you see end credits and 'completing' a game when you've done it 100%. This definition discussion came up on our Facebook page a few weeks ago and we all seem to agree on this as it. So technically I've finished Mario Land, but nowhere near completed it...yet. But I'm thinking that if I ever want to make any sort of progress on this task I may need to just stick to finishing games this year and try and do it fast and then come back to some at a later date and complete them proper.


I have a sort of list of games I really want to 'finish' this year, I'll try and finish at least 1 game per platform, even some old-school retro stuff, surely there's a SNES game I need to finish;


Wii:

  • Epic Mickey (I'm sure I'm near the end, so I may as well just do it)
  • De Blob (Probably my all-time favourite Wii game, I'm quite close to finishing it actually)

#I want to add Twilight Princess to this list but I don't like my chances#


PS3:

  • inFamous 2 (Still have a fair way to go as I piss fart around collecting shit way too much in this game, I think I should just blow through it and just stick to the story missions)
  • Motorstorm Apocolapse (I'm sure this won't take long, I'm about half way through and I quite enjoy it actually)



X360:



  • Bioshock (I'm halfway through, but I can't remember jack shit, so I plan to start again and crack on so I can play 2 next)
  • Battlefield 3 (The Single player is so bad, but I just want to get it over and done with)



3DS:



  • Zelda Ocarina of Time (Unfortuatley I missed the whole 64 era and never played this, I'm up to being an adult but I fucked up and I don't have a horse, so I've been contemplated restarting)



PS2:



  • God of War 2 (I've been meaning to finish this damn game for so many years now, it's been haunting me! Plus I wanna play #3)



NDS:



  • Pokemon White

#There's a few more DS and GBA games, but I need to go through my collection and figure out what to do.#


Xbox:



  • Max Payne 2 (So I have an excuse to get #3 of course)



N64:



  • Super Mario 64 (I've got the Wii VC version that I've always wanted to play)

That should do it for now I think, I'm sure there's more. Hopefully I can do it, what do you think? And this is just the retail games, what about all the downloaded games! Oh man.....
