Here\’s the original list.

Games that have been knocked off the list due to completion:

  • Psychonauts – I didn\’t get all the scavenger hunt items, etc, but I was level 50 by the time I hit the final boss, and he didn\’t give me much trouble.
  • Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time – Excellent game, but that final boss was far less challenging than the platforming area that led up to him.

Updated progress for the remaining items:

  • Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition – No progress made. Haven\’t touched my PS2 in a while, actually.
  • Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition – Mission 5-2. @#%@ Regenerators.
  • Zack & Wiki – No progress made. I don\’t expect any will be made for a while, actually…
  • Super Mario Galaxy – No progress made. That Luigi purple coin mission is really hard if you just bumrush it without any planning (like I tend to do)
  • NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams – Finished the main story on both sides (not that it was hard, there being only 3 levels on each side and a common final level + boss fight). But I always try to play platformers to completion, so my next target is A-ranking everything. Yes, that includes that music mission in Memory Forest, a mission whose designer really needs to be shot.
  • Advance Wars: Days of Ruin – I, uh, played a few more turns of mission 13. Still haven\’t beaten it.
  • Sonic Rush Adventure – I\’ve been doing more time attack runs than Sol Emerald hunting, if you get my drift.

New entries on the list:

  • Mass Effect – Level 20, just picked up Liara T\’Soni. I\’m playing as a Soldier, and will be going for a Paragon rating, like the goody-two-shoes that I am.
  • Beyond Good & Evil – I actually haven\’t gotten very far in this game because of a weird bug that causes my framerate to drop like a stone when I\’m in the overworld. Just to remind you all, this is a 2003 game having problems running on a 2006 video card.

  1. You should have just bought BG&E for the PS2 or GC (playable on your Wii). It can’t be going for much these days and you would have gotten a bug free experience

    1. Well there are two main reasons I got the PC version:
      1) Very easily available off Steam for $10
      2) I tend to prefer the PC versions of multiplat releases so I can increase the resolution/detail settings

      In any case I’m getting a new video card on Monday…the model I’m getting apparently doesn’t have these performance issues.

    1. Mind you, this only includes the games I’m actually playing that I have yet to finish. If I included the stuff that I want to play this list would be a LOT longer.
