MISSION STATEMENT: To complete every game I've bought since 2005.

I buy a lot of games, or at least it feels like I do, and I thought I was generally quite good at completing them. One day I decided to go through my games and finish one which I'd got close to finishing but never did and only then did I realise the horrible truth, that I have't finished anywhere near as many of my games as I thought.

Not one to dally about, I went straight to work on excel listing every game I've bought since getting my Xbox360 back in 2005. I could have gone back sooner and covered the Megadrive - Gamecube era, but decided this was too ambitious, there needs to be limits. My list also contained games owned by my other half, Cassy, as many of them I know I would enjoy but for some reason never picked up, usually going and buying a brand new game instead. I knew adding these would be the motivation I needed to play through some stuff we already own but I hadn't touched.

my final list included Xbox360, PS3, Wii, DS, 3DS, PSP and a couple of miscallenous games for Dreamcast and PC respectedly. I also included all virtual console and PSN/XBL arcade games.   The list totalled at 114.

Marking through games which were complete revealed only 58 of these have been finished. A poor 51%. I whipped up a small graph and would update the stats every Sunday with any new games to add to the list any I'd managed to finish, ticked off.

While getting to100% is the obvious goal,  I've decided on a sub-goal of getting to and maintaining over 80% completion, anywhere above this is the golden zone that I want to be in. Basically, if you look at the graph, the red line needs to reach over the yellow line.

So without further ado, let the games commence!
