Game 24 - Super Mario Sunshine (Unknown total play time)
76 Shines (9 from Blue Coins), 91 Blue Coins Total


+ This was my first time playing though a Mario game like this, having never played SM64 or Galaxy/Galaxy2. I can say that I enjoyed the experience a lot! I found the controls to be great, though I had a minor complaint that I seemed to slide off of a lot of platforms if I landed near the edge. I loved using FLUDD to navigate obstacles and solve puzzles, and I found most the shines/levels to be a great challenge with none of them being too hard (even the pachinko level  8) ).

- As many of you know, there is pretty much no reward for finding all 120 Shines, other than bragging rights. And since you have to get 7/8 Shines in every level in order to beat the game, getting all 120 Shines means basically doing only the secret red coin levels, 100 coin challenges, and finding all the Blue Coins. No thank you. Also, Princess Peach is such a ditz in this game! It's like... insulting, having recently come off of Paper Mario, TTYD.

All in all, I enjoyed it, but I can see why people don't like it, especially those who went for 120 Shines.

GAME 26 - Mad Max (PC) - 32 Hours FINISHED
Mad Max turned out to be basically the good game I expected, but is kept from being a great game, because it's 2015.  I think Max is good, the car combat is good, the story and characters are all right for Mad Max, but the open world has all been done before pretty much.  Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 did it better, it's basically Shadow of Mordor with cars, it doesn't do enough to impress inbetween story missions.  The combat is straight up Mordor/Arkham, but it's less exciting as just normal Max, so it gets repetitive a lot quicker.  One can always expect a more grindy side aspect to open world games, but by like halfway through the game and you've gotten all the important side stuff, you don't really want to do the rest.  I enjoyed most of my time in the game, but it's not something I could recommend at full price and you gotta love open world games like this I think if you really want to enjoy it.

Not sure if I'll make it myself.  I do have some older games I'm gonna beat that'll fill in the gaps of new games, such as Halo 4, Metal Gear: Peacewalker, Metal Gear Solid 1, and maybe another one or two, but I only have like another 6 games I plan to buy new this year.  26 more games is gonna be tough lol

Me neither. I don't even know if I'll be able to meet my goal of getting halfway there with 26 games!  :(

I still might make it to my original goal, which was to play 52 different games, but I already beat more games than I though I would, so I kinda already won my own goal anyway :)

I had seen threads for beaten games, but just "played" games is a great idea too! Especially since a lot of older games don't really have an end. I'll split my list into 2:

Beaten:
??/?? - Super Smash Brothers (3DS/Wii U) (I'm going to consider that unlocking all characters and clearing all game modes is beating it...? Unlocking all trophies and challenges would be 100%-ing it.)
01/?? - Hyrule Warriors (Wii U)
02/15 - The Legend of Zelda (3DS virtual console)
02/22 - Link's Awakening (GB)
03/14 - Minish Cap (3DS virtual console)
03/28 - Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)
03/?? - Mousecraft (PS4)
04/24 - Persona 4: Golden (Vita)
04/26 - Tearaway (Vita)
05/24 - Touch My Katamari (Vita)
06/13 - The Playroom (PS4)
06/22 - Splatoon (Wii U)
06/29 - Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (DS)
06/29 - Book of Spells (PS3)
07/15 - Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition (PS4)
10/17 - Pokémon: Alpha Sapphire (3DS)

Played/playing:
Tomodachi Life (3DS)
NES Remix (Wii U)
NES Remix II (Wii U)
Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare (PS4)
Fortune Street (Wii)
Pokémon Art Academy (3DS)
Pokémon Rumble World (3DS)
Lego The Hobbit (PS4)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (3DS)
htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary (Vita)
Plants VS Zombies (PS3)
Tales of Hearts R (Vita)
The Legend of Zelda II (3DS Virtual Console)
Banjo Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge (GBA)
Mighty Switch Force (3DS)
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (DS)
Minecraft (PS3/PS4)
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth (3DS)
Tearaway Unfolded (PS4)
Super Mario Maker (WiiU)

Total beaten/played: 16/36

So, 3 months after my last beaten game, I finally added another one  :o Just beat the Elite 4 in Pokémon: Alpha Sapphire, so that makes 16 beaten and 36 played.

I'm very close to beating 2 games this week. If I have time to sit down and finish out Advance Wars Days of Ruin and Jump Ultimate Stars that will put me 2 games closer!
