Liam Pritchard of Brash Games writes "The sad truth is that we do not get time to indulge in our favourite button mashing past-time, usually due to niggling details like jobs, families, children etc… As a result, the backlog is born. Not everyone will have an enormous backlog, as they may have had the sense to stop buying games the moment they knew they wouldn’t have enough time to play them".
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Fuse ARPG, Soulslike, and cozy crafting mechanics for a one-of-a-kind adventure. Here is The Nerd Stash's early impressions of No Rest for the Wicked.
Starship Troopers: Extermination is continuing its early access period with a class system overhaul that will give players more options when it comes to pushing back the bugs.
It must be frustrating for these devs to see Helldivers 2 absolutely devour their lunch lol
-Oh my God, this game looks like a complete rip-off of Helldivers II!
-At least it gives Xbox players the chance to experience something similar to the PlayStation game!
Jokes aside it does make you wonder why Sony, who owns the IP for both, is continuing with two products when there is such overlap. Should it one day make a new Starship Troopers film or a Helldivers film instead?
i wouldn't say embarrassing but I myself am getting a large backlog. I have around 7-8 fighting games and 8 adventure,hack and slash, FPS games all on ps3. I barely finished half of all my games since i don't have time to really put in hours to complete them but yet a game gets announced and I'm there day 1 at a game store to buy it lol, games....
30 games, lol. I keep buying games but i dont have enough time to finish them, lol. Hopefully i can finish a bunch during the summer.
After I started college I noticed I didnt have as much time.
I havent finished:
Star Ocean:TLH
FFIV:The after years.
Red dead redemption.
I have a huge backlog due to the fact that I feel obligated to play the multiplayer portion before the community dies down due to a call of duty release or some other triple A title. I still haven't finished fallout 3, dark souls or metal gear solid 4. I know, shame on me. I still own these games as well as 50+ games on steam that I haven't even started. My backlog is exceptional as well as embarrassing because you would think I would just finish them. Because of time constraints and an 11 month old son I am unable to enjoy these games to the fullest however I have learned to stick with finishing one game at a time. I am enjoying the hell out of far cry 3 whenever my responsibilities are taken care of.
I've got a couple of games on Steam that I've hardly touched, Hearts Of Iron III, X3 Albion Prelude and Endless Space but the 360 "pile of shame" is pretty low at the moment, I'm still plodding my way through Skyrim and Battlefield 3 multiplayer but aside from a couple of bargain bin purchases nothing is sitting there reminding me that it cost fifty dollars and hasn't been opened yet.
