Gather Round The Maypile

This month's title inspired by the Maypole*
*I think I need to hire some writers for this 
Alright, put me down for Okami on the Wii. I'm already about 6 hours into it, and I think I should be able to finish it before the end of the month.

I took my meager allotment of gift cards about a week ago and spent some of it on MGS: Essentials. So, I'll be playing all three Metal Gear Solid games this month.

I put it in multi-platform, so I can combine Wii and PS2 (if any) players.

Also put me down for BG2 and BG2 - Throne of Bhaal. The former I've played before, but the latter has been sitting on my pile for some number of years. And I do expect to finally finish God of War.

Well, I didn't finish The Witcher so it gets carried forward a month. I'm honestly not expecting to finish it this month either since my wife and I will be in Europe the last two weeks of the month and the computer isn't invited along.

I don't know if I plan on beating any games this month. Between GTA IV and Age of Conan, I don't think I will "beat" either.
Let's go with 80 levels worth of Age of Conan. Not one character to 80, but 80 total levels (includes the open beta). I think this might be too easy, but we'll see.

I have yet to beat FF1&2: Dawn of Souls. I am a failure of a gamer. Kick it forwards another month.
Oddly, I've been sinking my time into NFS: Pro Street. Go figure?

Okay, I said I was going to beat The Witcher back in March. Unfortunately SSBB, and Sins of a Solar Empire completely derailed me. I'M GOING TO DO IT THIS MONTH! I think I can even do it tonight. We'll see. Put me down for Sam & Max: Season 1 too.
Fast Fact: If the number of zombie hunters world-wide were to decrease just 1.3% in the next year, the world would see a 50% rate of zombification by 2015.
I want to finish either Persona 3 FES ("The Question" campaign for now) or Lost Odyssey this month.
We'll see if I succeed at either... More likely they'll both complete in June for me.
Put some time into MGS today (hurray for sick days). Boy, that game looks ugly now. I've gotten past Revolver Ocelot and now have to make my way to the next building to rescue Dr. Emmerich. Still has a convoluted Kojima story.

Better keep Oblivion in my pile so I don't forget to come back to it
I think this month will be a write-off, though, thanks to GTA IV.
Xbox Live: pneuman | my tech/games/rant blag
PC - Crysis, ES: Shivering Isles & COD4 (all Christmas presents)
PS2 - God Hand (found a cheap new copy recently) & MGS3 (part of the essential collection)
360 - Gun, Bully, R6V(1)
Currently playing Persona 3 when the kids are up, and GTA4 when they aren't...

Sigh.
It is May and I promised myself when I put down the Witcher I was only doing it because I was going to wait for the big May update.
Hah.
Near the end of March I started playing LOTRO, my first MMORPG. Now, there are no other games. Perhaps Fallout 3 or Clear Sky will rescue me, but I don't think I'll visit the pile for a few months.

List should be current.
scrub, most of your titles are multi-platform, so I've put them in that section and not in the respective systems you're playing them on.

Put me down for Eternal Sonata. I will finish that one if I can tear myself away from GTA.
Doubt I'll finish it this month, but I'm playing Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on my DS.

I'm working on "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES" (PS2) at the moment, with "Yakuza" (also for the PS2) coming soon to a mailbox near me.
Remember, only by treating everyone with dignity and respect can we maintain the element of surprise for that inevitable day when we wipe our enemies from the face of the Earth.
My current list of games to finish are Beyond Good & Evil and Gothic 3, although I'm not even going to try to play them until I get a new video card (hopefully the middle of the month) as both are chop-tastic with my new monitor's native resolution, and pretty ugly when scaled down to a playable level.
The only goal I have (that I have any chance of reaching) is to get all the TF2 medic achievements.

The Witcher? Baby, I'm The Witchest. The Witcher is done! That was a great game. Rough around the edges, yet still brilliant. Unfortunately, I played it with the 1.02 patch, and I doubt I'll ever play it again, so I'm going to miss out on the 1.03 changes. C'est la vie. On to Sam & Max!

Stengah, I left off the medic achievements in TF2 as there really isn't a way to "Finish" TF2. I did add the other two games.
Everyone else, list should be current.

Got past Psycho Mantis last night. I've actually beaten MGS on the PC (yes, I have that version). This is the first time I've played it on a console. Even though it was years ago, I pretty much remember most of the little things you need to do to beat these bosses. It's off through the tunnel to the Metal Gear Rex garage!
At this rate, I'll finish it up this weekend.

Sign me up for Bioshock and Portal, please.

My gaming mood has been erratic these past few months. I've even gone back to WoW. I'm not sure I'll be able to commit to something! It has to be either Lost Odyssey or Crisis Core this month. But knowing me, I'll probably end up finishing something obscure like Patapon or Super Mario Galaxy. Or get to lvl 70. :/

Conform, pick one!
Just kidding. Do you want me to add the console games, or do you want me to wait until you say, "I'm going to do X."

I'm officially choosing Lost Odyssey & Crisis Core. Of course, that's not a guarantee of anything. As long as I finish something I'll be happy.

Smash Brothers (Wii) - I bought this and have played it for 2 hours on launch day. I need to stop playing WoW and play it already.
