Hmmm, I’ll go ahead and reserve a spot too.
Just like Soera said, I don’t think I can come anywhere near 52 games finished in the next year (between job and family I just don’t have the time) but I’m going to use this spot to keep track. What helps is the multi-game compilations I recently got (Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection on PS3 and the Coregrafx Mini I got for Christmas); completing some of those games should help my total
