I recently cut my collection down to about 1/3 of what it was and my backlog isn't as bad as it once was. Anyway, what are some of the games you've been meaning to get around to? Here are some of mine:

Baku Baku (SAT)
I believe Baku Baku means "chomp chomp" or something like that. This is basically a Tetris clone I played on the PC for like two seconds back in 1997 and haven't played or seen since... but I just having a thing for.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (NDS)
Technically played it... for like fifteen minutes. Not that I didn't like it, but I played Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin right before it and I kind of got "Castlevaniaed Out" when I started this.

Devil May Cry HD Collection (PS3)
I've only played DMC4 and its entirety and really like it even though it's clearly an unfinished product. I played the original game up to the first boss and that was it. However, I really suck at these games.

Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes (PS1)
Think Duke Nukem a la Tomb Raider. I've played the first game done in this style (Time to Kill) but that was long ago. I picked them up on the off chance they have managed to not age terribly.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (NGC)
Man, can't tell you how many times I've heard the words "cult classic" uttered when in regards to this game.

Final Fantasy Adventure (GB)
Played a small amount eons ago, but not enough to constitute playing it.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Limited Edition (PS3)
I have never played X-2 and it's never been high on my list. Really do need to replay X.

God of War (PS2)
I've seen most of the game played by another person but have never played it myself.

The Guardian Legend (NES)
Always wanted to play this one.

Legaia 2: Duel Saga (PS2)
I don't really know why I want to play this one honestly.

Mega Man Powered Up (PSP)
Okay, never really gave this one a fair shot since the original is kind of unforgiving.

Metroid: Other M (Wii)
I know people think it is bad, and it might be true, but it's the only Metroid I haven't played.

Parasite Eve II (PS1)
I've only played the original. Don't have much desire for the sequel but am interested in how it differs.

Resident Evil (PS1)
Kind of cheating here... have played the Director's Cut version.

Spyro the Dragon 1/2/3 (PS1)
Played a demo of the original long ago, never sat down and played any of the full games.

Star Ocean: First Departure (PSP)
Kind of curious about this one... the ratings I see for it are rather odd to me.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope International (PS3)
Still haven't got around to this one...

Sword of Mana (GBA)
This is the remake of FF Adventure right...? Would like to compare the games.

Tales of Symphonia (NGC)
Yes, I bought this right before they announced the re-release. Kind of wanted the original anyway.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)
Obviously need to play this if I'm a big fan of A Link to the Past.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (GB)
Don't know why I was compelled to keep this one out of all the unplayed games I got rid of.

Threads of Fate (PS1)
This one has always been a big question mark for me. I'm only familiar with the music.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (PSP)
Played the sequel which is a prequel... but figured try this version out to see if I like it enough to get it on the PS1.

X-Men Legends (PS2)
Not really the biggest X-Men fan but I've always wanted to try this one out.

Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra (PS2)
Everyone tells me this is the best of the Xeno titles; I hope it is since the first two don't stack up with me very well.

It is supposedly the best of the XenoSAGA titles, yes.

I can assure you it is NOT the best of the Xeno titles.

I haven't played this one in years, but throw my hat in the "cult classic" pot. I played this back-to-back consecutively three times, totally hooked.

Loved this series! The first one is my favorite - I could play that over and over. Ripto and YotD incorporate more gameplay variety (as they needed to, since three games that play like the first would have lost steam), but they're all solid.

I only have one game sitting on my shelf waiting for me... Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. That thing has been staring me down for two months.

Oh jesus, that game. Valkyrie Profile is a fantastic game, PS1 or on PSP. It's a little difficult to understand everything, and it takes an incredible amount of liberties with Norse mythology, but it's awesome regardless.

I kind of misspoke there... yeah, I meant out of the SAGA titles.

Valkyrie Profile is amazing! It's also much MUCH better than the sequel.

I'm not bothered by the liberties it takes with Norse mythology, but the stuff you need to do to get the "true" ending is way too obscure.

And it must be said...the "regular" ending pales in comparison to the "true" ending.

I liked VP2 enough... didn't really feel like it justified the day 1 for me after finishing it however. Still the main problem I had with the game was all the storyline twists were so insanely obvious. Some of the actions and attitudes by some of the characters made it so blatant that they were bad guys in disguise all along and it was just a waiting game until they turned.
