60 Games in 30 Nights

Update (12/31): Should've never started my list with Binding of Isaac and Dungeons of Dredmor, mistake!

As I thought, kind of dumb. I have plenty of excuses for why I didn't get remotely close to my goal, but why bother airing them out here? No pouting I say! I have dipped my toe into about two dozen of these games already, and want to see this list through to the end--even if it's going to take longer than I'd previously hoped.

So I'm giving myself a two week extension, and hope to have all these games played by January 14th. That's a soft deadline now though, and realistically I probably will need the rest of the month to write about them. I'm alright with that though. Now it's less about the ridiculous time crunch I put myself under (which admittedly isn't really fair to the devs of the games I'm previewing/reviewing), and more about the full completion of the list. Now I can take some time playing games on the list that aren't meant to be tackled in a couple hours, or even a couple days.

Definitely a failure on my part in some ways, but on the other hand I'm pleased to have forced myself into finally trying out these great games. More updates soon.

Original: I'm trying something a bit dumb to me, but it has to be done. The title says it all, I have 30 days to play and write about the 60 games listed below. Must of them are indie, and hopefully short enough that I can get a full look at for review purposes. If not I'll be posting preview, impression pieces as well.

They'll be going up throughout this month on the blogs/sites I write for. However this will be the central document for my progress. I'll put a link in the sidebar, and update the list with hyperlinks to coverage as it's posted. I'm a busy man, so I don't suspect this will be easy or entirely possible for that matter. Wish me luck!*

  1. There's being brave and then there's being suicidal. Best of luck!

    It could turn out pretty brilliant mind.
