my backlog is

Ps3: Assassins Creed

360: Quake 4, far cry predator, prey

I plan on completing Shin Megami Tensei:Devil Survivor, The World Ends With You, Devil May Cry's 1-3, Ico, Ghost Recon:Shadow Wars, Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time 3D and Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D

[MovieAndGameBuff2]

My Back Catalog is GTA IV, Need For Speed : Hot Pursuit, L.A. Noire,..hmmm...maybe Red Dead & Undead Nightmare (for the 4th time lol)

[KittieOnALeash]

I have the same Alan Wake strategy guide! I feel special now. :D

[RPGDarkLord]

Off the top of my head I want to finish Final Fantasy IV the complete collection for the PSP, Resident Evil 1 Remake for the Wii, and another playthrough of Dragon Age II on the Mages side this time. There are more, but I want to finish these.

[pblackdog]

My summer backlog is Metal gear solid 3: Snake eater (I just beat it yesterday),Resident evil outbreak (I beat is last week), Silent hill 4: The room, and Final Fantasy X-2

[METROIDFAN258]

Okamiden, Banjo Tooie, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Fable III, and Taiko no Tatsujin Portable. I've either purchased them and never played them or just stopped and need to start over.

[prot8to]

The DS isn't dead yet, close, but not yet. Coming out this year you have thinkSMART: Scotland Yard, Professor Layton(rumor), and new Harvest Moon. Plus the DSi shop is still alive and kicking. I don't look forward to much on the 3DS. Still don't own one. Don't know if I will for a very long time.

[amcferron85]

I have 3 months off from college and I have wasted my first month sitting on my butt, not getting to my backlog. My backlog is huge. I have about 120 360 games alone I need to beat lol. Anyway, I want to play/beat Nier, Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, Darksiders, Fallout New Vegas, Fable 3, Force Unleashed 2, Castlevania, Enslaved, Majin & Forsaken Kingdom, Demon's Souls, Singularity, Bioshock 1 & 2, Crysis 2, Dead Space 2, Metro 2033, God of War 1-3, and Dragon Age 2. I should get started...

[wigloverful]

do u have a new pile of shame (unopened games) ?

[Jensoncorpuz]

You seem like a really cool lady

[Gameguy1100]

Dead rising (story and lvl 50)Crysis 2 world of warcraft (Another 85) GTA5 (prob not) and ummmmmmmm ehhhhhhhh infamous

[KxLEBxRAWR]

You should really check out Bayonetta for the Xbox. I will say, i went through the entire game thinking the storyline was just two clans, fighting...then the end just threw me off guard. I kinda didn't link the symbolism in the game. However, as far as fighting and cut scenes and everything else....i LOVED the game!

[GamerBaron]

Pokemon Black, Castlevania SOTN, From The Abyss, DragonQuest IX, and Etrian Odyssey III. lots of rpgs!

[ifoundluckycharms]

MORE GAMEBIY GAMES

[HELLSPIDER3000]

i love you x

[kdotmj]

Steph u should get a HD camera!

[gandalf0987]

Very good video!! I plan on completing: Gran Turismo 5 Quantum of Solace for the PS2 Everything or Nothing for the Xbox Halo 2 (God willing!!) N+ for PSP Mr. Mosquito for the PS2 Bruce Lee for the Xbox Silent Hill 2 for the Xbox (never beaten that game!) There are so many uncompleted games that I have...too many to list! Again, very cool video!!

[zeno101200]

Tales of The Abyss, Tales of Phatasia, Yugioh Tag Force 5, Megaman Maverick Hunter X, Earthbound, Megaman X:Command Mission, and some others. This summer is gonna get crazy!

[NardoBlackBoi]

Whats ur gamertag 360?

[001edwards]

I plan on finishing persona 3 Fes edition along with Persona 4 and if I get around to it some dragonquest 9.

Happy Gaming

[AnimalCatcherz1]

plan on playing little big planet & dead rising 2 :)

[Ch0coDK]

I loved Nier. Its a fantastic game which deserved more recognition. Also the game has one of the best soundtracks ever made in a video game IMO.

As for my backlog it is to big for me to probably ever complete. Maybe, though I will finish inFamous 1 which I began to play earlier last week. I really am enjoying it but I stopped playing it for a bit

[SeeJayAre]

I'm focusing on finishing FF13 then it's on to 3d dot game heroes.

[Hammcube]

My backlog is about all my games....I don't know if I'll achieve it.

[TheDuskPhantom]

tales of vesperia in my opinion is the best RPG of this generation. AMAZING game but it can get a little slow at times, so you'll have to dedicate quite a bit of time to it.

[Texcap]

Some great choices Steph. I recently purchased Tales of Vesperia as well and the 2-3 hours I've played so far were an awful lot of fun, so I reckon you'll enjoy it a great deal. Let's see...I completed 'Enslaved' a few weeks ago and that was a blast, I'm about halfway through 'Crysis 2' (which my wife is enjoying with me) and I'd like to spend time this summer with 'Heavenly Sword', 'Tekken 6', 'SFIV' , 'Persona 3:FES', 'Y's Seven' and several others. Hope you have a great summer playing!

[Charassic]

3D Dot Game Heroes is what I'm working on currently. That and LA Noire and Pokemon White.

ToV is my fave game this generation. Love it. Music is fantastic, looks gorgeous and it is so fun.

For my '2011 Winter Backlog (5 Games I Want to Complete This Winter)' are all PSP games. I'll make a video response.

[guadasp]

Im from Argentina so when you are starting the summer im starting the winter D:

So steph are you excited about the E3??

[abcolleenz79]

i'm trying to finish heart gold, harvest moon and i'll probably go through my old mario games-- gotta love summer gaming!

[mismos15]

some one give me a face pleeeeeeeeeeeez

[skippy562]

mmmm black gamer chick. delicious.

[fizzypeas]

do you have assans creed or any of the serious

[exaurius]

man we as game players spoil ourselves nowadays. I remember being like 10 and it's either you had a super nintendo or a sega, not both.

[dashthegamer]

Hey Steph! Great to see you're doing another backlog this summer! And I TOTALLY agree - trying to complete 10 games last summer was really tough so I think I'm gonna bring down my goal too. Good luck!

[missregardless]

My backlog includes Deadly Premonitions, Red Dead Redemption, some DLC and a Buffy game on the DS :)

[CoolVids19]

@missregardless they have buffy game on DS????

[missregardless]

@CoolVids19

Yeah and for me the first scene is so awkward to get past due to controls ect. Called Buffy: Sacrifice.

[TheGebs24]

Tales of vesperia is supposed to be amazing!! Great eclectic selection of games Steph and HAPPY SUMMER!! good stuff :-)

[whiteboyjimmy20]

Hey Steph, does your husband play games too?

[DaJoshDude]

will you get battlefield??? (not gonna come out in summer but eh)

[DaJoshDude]

im still in school...

[Darro85]

I still need to get Okamiden. Thing that has annoyed me is that no shop had it whatsoever when it came out and I felt annoyed. Same thing with A Shadow's Tale back in October..

Tales of Vesperia is an excellent RPG and my 3rd favourite RPG this gen behind Oblivion and Lost Odyssey.

You know I've done a summer backlog challenge each year since 07 and has met with failure. Going to be the same as yourself and will do only 5. One of them being 3D Dot Game Heroes.

[KeruptKiller]

Great selection of games, Tales of Vesperia is the sh*t!!! I just copped it a few weeks ago (again) long story. Lots of Games did a great review on it last month, after watching his review I knew I had to play it sometime soon. Enjoy Knocking out that backlog:)

[OutOfMidian]

Great video, Steph. Good luck with your backlog! And I'll be sure to have some bbq. :-D

[ohgod247]

I only own one game at a time. Don't like switching between games. If I like it enough, I'll go for the platinum trophy...then sell it or trade it in for a different game.  I rarely don't finish a game. They're so short these days. I also don't work right now and don't have much money, so gotta lot of time on my hands. If I did I'd probably have a backlog. I'm playing Tomb Raider Trilogy (PS3) right now and am loving it.

[theKFCowner]

Ahh i really love your videos! :D

[cefiro355]

I'm playing through Morrowind (played it when it came out for AGES but never completed main quest) and possibly Oblivion before Skyrim comes out :)

[ddhhT]

Probably a other games I can't think of but, with summer school in June , I may or may not finished all of these.What am I saying, Of course I can ; ).

[ddhhT]

PC: Postal 2

N64: Glover

Dreamcast: Shenmue 1 and 2(import), Sonic adventure 2

Gamecube: Simpsons Hit and Run and Road rage, Tales of Symphonia

NDS: Trauma Center 2, Dragonball origins 2, Sonic Chronicles

Xbox 360: Saints Row 2, Bio Shock, WWF allstars, Catherine (when I grab it),RE5,Kinectimals

Wii: Trauma Team, Spider-man shattered dimenions, Batman Brave and the Bold, DKC returns, The Godafther, RedSteel 2, Tales of Symphonia 2, Metriod other M,Fragile Dreams, Nights journey into Dreams

[ddhhT]

trauma team is a great pick-up

[xMurderousMP5Kx]

I just beat batman arkham asylum one down

[schneibgamer1]

the only tales game ie ever played was duck tales

[captainclayman]

i have sooooo many friggin games to beat. i've been stockpiling up on games from steam sales so i have something to play ALL summer.

[christianaso90]

Summer = massive gameplay for a lot of us!!! :D

[StephsTooDef]

@dmbshooter I definitely plan on doing some sort of update video, but I haven't figured out how I'm going to tackle it yet.

[tiggergirl06]

let me see my games are Darksiders, GOW 3, and FF13 these three are on the top of my list hopefully I will finish these games.

[StephsTooDef]

@tiggergirl06 Those are 3 great games!

[suiton629]

@StephsTooDef Looks like you have a huge ass backlog..=) I still have a little bit left to do with Mortal Kombat (PS3), Lego Pirates of the Caribbean (PS3) til I get 100%. If I do end up getting a Wii, I'll be getting Mario Kart, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Tattsunoko vs., Muramasa, Okami... I still have to get Okamiden (DS), FFIV (PSP), Dead Space 2 (PS3), Dead Space Ignition (PSN), Dead Space Extraction (PSN). I'm waiting for Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition. Probably more later...

[StephsTooDef]

@suiton629 Nice.....I'm getting back into Lego Pirates. I just saw the 4th movie and it really got me hype to play more. I still have to get FFIV as well. I passed it up the other day...hopefully I won't forget about it. Let me know when you get your Wii. I'm sure you'll be pleased with it considering the games you mentioned.

[TheAaronLebens]

I plan on playing the entire Legend of Zelda Series

[StephsTooDef]

@TheAaronLebens AWESOME!!!!! Sounds like you are going to have an amazing summer.

[getsomegames]

dragon quest 9 and ocarina of time 3d for me

[ConsoleHandheldGamer]

My ten games are Magical Starsign, Yakuza 2, Tales of Eternia, Psychonauts, Final Fantasy VII, God of War: Chains of Olympus, LocoRoco 2, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Star Ocean: Second Evolution and Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie. Mostly games I've started but not beaten, except for DQVI, which is new.

[StephsTooDef]

@ConsoleHandheldGamer Amazing set of games! WOW!!!! Have fun.

[StormCloudReigns]

Awesome backlog. I don't think imma do one this year just really don't have the time to commit to it. Not sure yet.

[StephsTooDef]

@StormCloudReigns I hear ya. Enjoy you're summer Storm!

[HardCoreGamer94]

Just beat Okamiden and on the verge of completing Trauma Team as well, I still need to play through Radiant Historia and complete the campaign of Ghost Recon Shadow Wars before I can get myself OoT 3D. Really look forward to hearing the results of your backlog!

[StephsTooDef]

@HardCoreGamer94 How do you like Trauma Team?

[HardCoreGamer94]

@StephsTooDef I really like how the story all comestogether through each of the characters giving a Pulp Fiction or Sonic Adventure story where characters from one story interact with another through their events happening at the same time. Out of all the scenarios however, I would have to say the endoscopy is my least favorite with the constant pushing forward motion you need to do with the wii remote. Besides that, it is a fantastic title and I look forward to completing it.

[TiagoBLucas]

I'm really crazy about sticking with a game to completion, so I never pick another one until that happens. There is one game that I wasn't able to complete, though, and that's Dragon Age! Maybe I'll be able to finish it, but I found it difficult to get into. D:

[StephsTooDef]

@TiagoBLucas I use to be like that. I don't know where I went wrong :). 

[jumblejunkie]

Ive been eyeballing Nier. For the price, I probably should!

[StephsTooDef]

@jumblejunkie You should....it's super cheap and well worth it.

[xxkomebackkidxx]

Im currently playing 3d dot heroes right now and I plan on completing it probably after LA Noire. Im close to the end in 3d dot. I might do a backlog video/pile of shame.

[StephsTooDef]

@xxkomebackkidxx How many hours have you put into 3D Dot Game Heroes?

[icebergthegamer]

I love Tales of Vesperia.

[CoolVids19]

im trying to beat Call of Duty classic. dragon age 2, fallout 3, MOH frontlines and LBP

[CoolVids19]

im not in the US but its a 3 day weekend here too

[StephsTooDef]

@CoolVids19 Awesome!!! Happy 3 Day Weekend!

[CoolVids19]

@StephsTooDef Thanks

[Ashanmaril]

I really want to play 3D Dot Game heroes sometime. I have a PS3, but the disc reader is broken, so we just use it as a Blu-Ray player. It kinda sucks, but I would probably buy a PS3 JUST so I could play 3DDGH. XD It looks really fun.

[nemesis3561]

well my xbox360 dvd drive has failed on me so ill have to put darksiders and mortal kombat down for now but ima go bk to homefront , heavy rain, castlevania lords of shadow , hevenly sword and need for speed hot pursuit on the pc :)

[gamereviewsss]

@doginmylense YOU WILL LOVE GHOST TRICK :D

[StephsTooDef]

@doginmylense Nice....great games all around!

[Darro85]

@StephsTooDef @doginmylense I'm currently playing Ghost Trick when I am at work and it is a very enjoyable game. Kind of has that whole Professor Layton thing going on in that you are basically trying to unravel a mystery as certain events unfold.

[awesomemusicandgames]

Games I am trying to beat right now. And will probably try under the summer too...

Darksiders, Silent Hill Shattered Dimensions, Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sand, LEGO Harry Potter, Disaster Day of Crisis... And probably some I forgetting.

[Tonyippee]

ALLL great games! but omg tales of vesperia is by far the best RPG on the new gen consoles for me! great choice steph

[StephsTooDef]

@Tonyippee I'm excited!!!! Thats how I felt with Tales of Symphonia. Any other Tales games that you recommend?

[Tonyippee]

@StephsTooDef tales of eternia & tales of the abyss are also very aswell games!

[Reijumicke]

[TigerFiction]

That's so interesting, because we don't have Memorial day, but we have a 3 day weekend as well! That's so weird, hehe. Oh, and Steph, make sure you leave some room in the Summer for tinychattin' and UC2! ;)

[StephsTooDef]

@TigerFiction You know I will!!!! We need to bring the Tinychats and UC2 weekends back! Enjoy your 3 day weekend.

[Dallercoder]

I want to complete Dead Space 2 (On Zealot), Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age 2 (finally), Red Dead Redemption and Borderlands.

[beyoncefan2382]

I want to complete: Lego Harry Potter, Henry Hatsworth:In the Puzzling Adventure, Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded, Super Mario 3 GBA, Super Mario World GBA. I completed the last 2 games on the NES/SNES but I want to complete them on GBA/DS as well.

[Horsesrock1000]

I only have one: I need to finish Hotel Dusk room 215. It's good and all, but it NEVER tells you what to do next. It's SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!

[BobbiThrashoholic]

this summer I would like to complete: Grandia 1, Mass Effect, Dead Space 2, Eternal Sonata, Resident Evil 1 and The Darkness. Meanwhile I´m hoping to spend some more time with Fallout 3

[oconstanti]

Great video but I'd like to correct something.

You said 'great servicemen fighting for our country'

More like 'great service men fighting for oil and big corporations.

I really want to complete LA noire and Mario Galaxy 2

[MrNintendolover]

1. La noire

2. Infamous

3. Golden sun Dark Dawn

4. Every ending in (9 hours 9 persons 9 doors)

5.Asassins creed

[danfaulkner100]

yeh americans remember soldiers we have a bank holiday :( haha

[thatzombieplace]

i totally agree with you on the okamiden! i still have no idea how to play it!

[ando3242]

Great games you have there. I've so far completed Tales of Vesperia, Nier, and 3D Dot Game Heroes, and I want to get on Okamiden. You have a summer of great gaming ahead of you!

[TheScarrend]

Nice choice with the vesperia, I've soaked like 250 hours on the 360 version and another 200 on the ps3 (japan only) version :D Tales of is probably the only series where I can really call myself a fanboy lol

[Gameworship]

i wanna finish final fantasy 13 on xbox 360 im 14 hours in.(am i anywhere near the end?) As well as half life 2 since i recently finished the first. Just anything to distract me until i get gears 3 and battlefield 3

[TriforceRich]

lmao my backlog is more then 5 or 10 games. I have a literal collection of games sitting on my shelf that I have to beat. I am trying to stay consistent and play 1-3 games at a time and try my best to finish them.

It should be tons of fun as long as I don't get stubborn about it as in if I don't like a game I stop playing it and don't force myself to beat it. Did that with Persona 1 and I am playing Persona 3 portable and loving the decision.

[ryanc519]

memorial day is just for we americans to get lazy

[hellknight003]

OMG finish Nier it's a great game and there are 4 endings

2 time you get extra cutscenes

and VERY EMOTIONAL STORY

Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)

Zelda: Spirit Tracks (DS)

Kingdom Hearts: Recoded (DS)

Final Fantasy VII (PS1)

I would love to complete all of these, but the majority of them are VERY time consuming games, so I may not complete all of them. But hey, a guy can hope, RIGHT!!! :)
