This topic is more-so about MY decision for 2008, but I'd like to hear if anyone else has any similar plans as well as suggestions for mine.
I've had a backlog of games as long as I can remember, and I decided for this year I'm going to vow to beat at least one game a week. I don't care if I start at the beginning, or pick it up 25-40% into it like some of my game saves are. My goal is 50 games finished (last boss down) before the end of the year, giving me two breather weeks. If I count THIS week as Week #1, that puts the final week of the year being Week #53. I don't want my final week to only be half of a week because I want it all to be finished BEFORE 2009, so this is how I'm doing it with Week #53 just being a "woo!"
I've picked out Jan-Feb, but since that was only 9 games, I also picked the first one in March to make it an even ten.

Mario Strikers is just there so I can say I beat all my Wii games and to also have buffer between Metroid Prime 3 and Twilight Princess (at damn near beginning of each of those). I don't think I'll actually finish each game in a week, but if I stick close enough to the schedule and lay it out right, I can maybe get far enough ahead on some of the smaller titles or ones I'm farther in to make time for the bigger games. Like with this layout, I have 3 weeks to do Metroid Prime and Zelda, cause Mario Strikers won't take but maybe a day or two. That way, when it's all said and done I can still have them all done by Jan '09. Also, I'm done with 3/5 cases on the first Phoenix Wright and over half of Super Paper Mario. That way, when it's all said and done I can still have them all done by Jan '09.
And yeah, the only reason MGS2 isn't finished is cause of a power outage I had during play. Anytime I lose a couple hours worth of work (didn't save for a while) I get so ****** off that I don't touch it again for a LONG time.
Part of my choice to put the Phoenix Wright games all beside each other is cause Apollo comes out the week I'm beating the third one, and I think if I pull this off maybe I'll get a shirt or something from CafePress that says something like "What I did in 2008" with a list of the games in the order of the weeks I beat them. Only not in the format here, I'd want them listed in columns rather than how I showed you my ten.
Anyone else have any gaming intentions? Or have any suggestions for this?
