November 2022 was such a packed month for gamers. You had new releases like God of War Ragnarök (which just won a bunch of awards at The Game Awards), Sonic Frontiers, and Harvestella. Since I was waiting for reviews from my peers to come out and maybe a sale or two, I focused on some …
In addition to October being spooky month, it’s also when the holiday releases really start to ramp up. Since I’m not reviewing games for any sites this year I had a little more time to play through in-progress and backlog games. It also gave me time to see if any of the newer releases that …
Backlogs. They come in all forms: books, TV, movies, video games, crafting projects. And we all have them. Today I have decided to revisit an old, old post of mine. All the way back in 2013 I had listed off the video games in my collection that I hadn’t gotten around to finishing. It’s 6 …
So, I had all these great plans for June and July. I was going to power through at least 2 games a month to whittle down my backlog. Sounds good, right? Productive, too. Well….

Status: Completed The Urbz main story, working on Rep quests While I was grinding up in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn to take my second go at the final battle, I decided I needed a bit of a break and went through our DS game shelf for something new to play. I wanted a game I could …
Status: Saved the world in 52 Hours 45 mins at Level 65 I picked up Golden Sun: Dark Dawn one night when I saw it on the shelf at Best Buy for $5. It doesn’t bother me to play a game in the middle of a series I’ve never touched before if I spot it on sale. And …
Status: Unlocked a good chunk of Gardening Mama’s gardenables, only a few seeds left for my collection As a fan of the first two Cooking Mama titles, I was excited to try the first franchise off-shoot, Gardening Mama. Mama and I had gotten along pretty well in those first two games and the prospect of moving to …
Status: Finished Persona 4 once on Normal (107h 40m) with the Good Ending, started New Game+ on Expert The Persona franchise is one of my absolute favourites.
