AJ's backlog challenge - choose a game for me to beat!

[alienjesus]

You beat Spyro yet?

I'm finishing up the games I was playing when I posted this before getting started.

I'm near the end of the console game I was playing, so I'll jump into one of the home console nominations after that!

I'm a bit further from finishing my current portable title, so you Suikoden guys are gonna have to wait a bit longer.

So, this was and still is on the backburner a bit until the new year, but just updating say that I beat Dead or Alive 2, which was one of my challenged games.

I'm working through Spyro as well, but I'm having some issues with the game locking up - my disc is a bit scratched. Hopefully I can push through though!

[noiseredux]

Yeah buddy!

[alienjesus]

Apologies to Ack, but I'm afraid that, for now at least, I've had to give up on completing Spyro the Dragon - my disc seems to have issues, and I can't progress anywhere once I hit the third hub world without the game freezing

Feel free to choose a different game for me to play if you like Ack!

[Ack]

Very well. I choose....

DYNAMITE COP!

I love this idea!

I know you have a sizable list already, but I'll throw in a pick if you don't mind.

Rhythm Tengoku

Since you mentioned wanting to play it in your backlog, its not very lengthy, and I gotta rep them rhythm games whenever I get a chance. Plus, its super fun!

[alienjesus]

The more the merrier.

April I'm planning to dedicate to blasting through a whole bunch of these!

[SamuraiMegas]

You really should play JSRF! Great game

[alienjesus]

So, I played through and beat Dynamite Cop this afternoon. It was a lot of fun, although a lot easier than the first game on Saturn. I beat Mission 2 (arriving by boat) as Eddie. I did actually try the other characters and missions too, but was having issues with the Dreamcast returning to the menu, which thankfully cleared up after swapping controller (the VMU seemed to be loose) and cleaning the disc.

I liked Dynamite Cop quite a bit. Expect a review in the Games Beaten thread eventually - I'm about 10 reviews behind though, so it probably won't be any time soon!

I plan to dedicate more time to this list starting from now - initial plans are to take on Portal 2, Suikoden and Rhythm Paradise.

Picked up another one of my challenged games yesterday by making a start on Portal 2. I'm making pretty decent progress I think, a little way into Chapter 4 now. Not sure how many chapters there are though!
