WRUP: Get crackin' on those unfinished games edition

Posted May 4th 2007 3:00PM by David Hinkle
Filed under: What are you playing?

We were looking over this week's releases, seeing if we wanted to pick anything up, when today's DS Daily topic hit us kind of hard. You see, if anyone has a lot of unfinished games, it's us. Blogging takes a lot out of the team (and our cruel overlords' whips don't help), so our unfinished stack is fairly tall. Given that, we wondered if any of you were planning your weekend around putting a dent in an unfinished game (or games).

What are you playing this weekend?

1. Working on my copy of Pokemon: Diamond... I've got about 18 hours in it, and only 3 badges.

Lol, I tend to take forever, because I love leveling all my pokeymans up to the same level.

That and I like to try and get one of each element.

2. Oh... Em... Eff... Gee...

That is one of the largest game piles I have ever seen...

And upon closer inspection, I noticed that there's not a single Wii in that picture. You guys, of all people, should be showing off your impressive army of Wii consoles.

Besides, I already posted my unfinished game in that other post that was linked, and I don't feel like retyping it, so needless to say my DS has been firmly attached to my left hand due to Diamond.

All my other games go neglected for the time being.

Phoneix Wright (Case 4)

10. I'm just started playing Pokemon Blue this week. I bought it the day it was released, played it for a few hours on my Ice Blue Gameboy Pocket. Now I've started over and I'm playing it on my GBA SP. I've got a little over 8 hours in so far and 2 badges.

11. Pokemon Pearl My Infernape's almost at level 40 and I'm fighting the Steel Gym

12. Finishing off FFVII (on the third disc, I saved all the side quests for last) and Trace Memory ($10 at toys-r-us!) while on the toilet.

13. Yea...I know what can help you finish those games...especially the ones for the N64...The two gamesharks for the N64: one to the left of Mario Kart in the front row and another to the left of Goldeneye in the front row. Very helpful :P

14. Pokemon Diamond for me, 28 hours and 7 badges.. I go a little fast so have some grinding to do now (only 2 of my pokemon are >= level 40). I've also got to work on Chrono Trigger sometime as well.

15. I just beat Superstar Saga and Hotel Dusk and now I'm playing through Partners in Time and then FF3. I haven't beaten Metroid Prime Hunters, either Trauma Center, or Killer7. I'm trying to line up my games 1 at a time and rip right through 'em now, but I keep getting distracted when my friends come over. Now we're playing through Super Strikers all over again on Legend difficulty, or Wii Sports.

16. Oh and where can I get one of those metroids or shy guys? And that Super Game Boy steals the show.

17. 4 badges and 26 hours later.....lost.....still lost....

18. That's an impressive collection, but I'm wondering what SNES game is on the very left.
circled- http://boo.gcnation.net/images/hmm.jpg
I'm thinking it's FF:MQ.

Posted at 8:25PM on May 4th 2007 by Crazylink

19. Ah yes, FF3 has been on hold for some time now, must get back to that as well.

Posted at 8:28PM on May 4th 2007 by Owen

20. I need to finish FF Tactics Advance before FFXII and FFT2 gets over here to the DS because I know once those are out I wont touch it for a while, especially if FFT2 is anywhere near as long as the first one, or FFTA.
