Finish the Fight . . . Of Unfinished Games.

So with the new year approaching, I realize I have a ton of games I still haven’t played, let alone finished. Thankfully the people on Talking Time, forum of gamespite.net have come up with a great system to help clear out that backlog! The premise is simple: Simply beat some games before you buy new ones. Here’s what you do:

- First, you’re going to need an account on backloggery.com. Here, you can inventorize your games along with whether or not you have beaten them. For the curious, mine is at www.backloggery.com/asandoval. I’m not completely done inventorizing; hopefully I will be done by the end of the year.

- As you beat games, change their status on Backloggery so you keep track, and give yourself points. You then use these points to buy new games throughout the year. The point values are up to you, so you can go at your own pace.

I’m hoping this year will help me discover some great games I’ve been sitting on as well as save a bit of cash. Just consider it food for thought.
