That’s the million dollar question right?! :) Honestly, I don’t really know. I got some really great games for Christmas from friends and now it’ll be so hard to choose after I finish Inquisition!

I’d like to hear your thoughts on Deadlocked. I don’t really even know what the game is, but I have avoided it because it seems different from the other Ratchet games. And different is scary.

And I really want to revisit Zelda: Skyward Sword. I absolutely loved that game, and considering I’ve been working on my Ghirahim costume for this year’s comicon, I got in a huge mood to replay it. The problem is, some weird things have been going on in my life right now, and I don’t want that to spoil the game for me. So I have been wondering, do I save it for next year, perhaps, with the hopes things will be better and there will be less to ruin the experience, or do I just go for it and hope a good game is enough to lighten my mood. Life is filled with hard decisions….

I envy you. Playing Super Metroid for the first time is an amazing experience.

Yeah, that’s the gamer’s struggle in a nutshell isn’t it? Not enough time to enjoy both new and old, and new is new so it understandably gets preference. :D

I’m kind of doing that right now! I’m most of the way through my first run of Super Metroid! Part of me wishes I had experienced it earlier, but I can’t deny how cool it is that I’m getting to play this classic with fresh eyes!

Totally agree though, new Metroid is needed. :D

Thanks Josh! As for going through the Mass Effect trilogy again, I think the only advice I can offer there is to do it a way that’s different from your first playthrough, that way it’ll still feel kind of fresh! (For example, in Mass Effect 2, a Vanguard plays totally differently from an Infiltrator. I wish they had retained that in ME3.)

Thanks, good finishing off Inquisition! What game are you going to play next?

Very cool idea and good luck! Having followed simpleek along on her gaming challenges, the month-long deadline seems to be a good way to complete games.

The only game I think I’d like to revisit at some point is GTA V. We originally got it for the PS3, and now we have the shiny, new PS4 version. Roaming around Los Santos again sounds like a good way to pass some time.

Meanwhile, what I’d really like to do this year is start and finish Metroid Prime 2, at least. But it’s going to be a big year for games, so there’s a good possibility that MP2 (and frankly, me finishing Metroid Prime itself) might end up on the backburner.

I want to revisit some Metroid games. The fact Nintendo has not released a new game on the franchise for almost five years makes me miss Samus’ adventures…

I’ve been thinking about going back through the Mass Effect trilogy for a while now, the reason I haven’t is simply because I find the series very time consuming. I’m one of those people who has to complete every little side quest and explore every planet in each game, so if I were to replay them it would take me forever. :(

I think that’s part of the reason why a lot of people don’t go back to old games, they’d rather spend the time they do have trying something new, which I agree with you is an unfortunate situation as many games deserve to be revisited.

Anyway, I enjoyed reading the post & good luck with the challenge!
