Posted under Summer Gaming Challenge

Well, it is that time of year again (never mind that it is actually Spring.  School let out last week and therefore Summer has begun for me!).  Time for the nice weather, the beach, the sun, and staying inside playing video games all day.  This year, I'm going to try to beat 10 games, as well as get at least 5 platinum trophies on PS3 games.

The Games to Beat:

1.) Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES) - This game is a carryover from last year that I never got around to playing.  I plan to rectify that this year.

2.) Virtual Boy Wario Land (VB) - Same as above.  Hopefully I will dust off my poor, lonely Virtual Boy and beat this game.

3.) Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii) - I have already started this game, but it will definitely take quite a bit of time to beat.

4.) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS) - I loved the DS games, and I've always wanted to play this game.

5.) Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil (PS2) - I've always been interested in playing the Klonoa games, and now is my chance.

6.) Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (PSP) - I started this a few months back, but stopped playing it.  I want to finish the game so I can compare it to P4.

7.) Pikmin (GC) - I've owned the game for years, but I have never played it.

8.) Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (DS) - I've started the game numerous times but it has failed to connect with me unlike the GBA Fire Emblems have.  I plan to play it through this time.

9.) God of War II (PS3) - I never finished the game on PS2, so I think it is time for me to finish it in (mostly) HD bloody g(l)ory.  Heh.  Puns.

10.) Clash at Demonhead (NES) - My NES has sat idle for pretty much two years, so I think this will be a good game to play.


The Game to Plat:

1.) Killzone 2 - I have been 1 trophy away from the Plat for years now.  I just need to beat the game on the hardest difficulty.

2.) Batman: Arkham City - I need to finish off New Game Plus, and then beat the Campaign Challenges.  The GOTY comes out soon with new story DLC, so I may play through that as well if I pick up GOTY cheap.

3.) 3D Dot Game Heroes - Only a few more bosses to collect in the Bestiary, then I need to beat the game on Spelunker mode.

4.) God of War - Only a few more trophies left.

5.) Tony Hawk Ride - I feel the need to complete at least one terrible game this summer.


I may add/change some games as time goes on, but I think I've got a pretty good list.  So, what are you waiting for.  Go start yours!

I had a lot of fun doing the Summer challenge last year and I definitely recognize a few of those games for you list back then. I'm not a big Klonoa fan or God of War fan, but otherwise I'd say its an amazing list. You did pick a lot of time consuming games though. Pikmin and Wario Land are resonably short, but the others can be pretty big time sinks.

Looking forward to hearing how you like Castlevania SotN and P3 in particular.

I've got the platinum on 3D Dot Game Heroes so if you need any assistance let me know. Spelunker mode was surprisingly fun. Make sure you've got the best sword maxed out though before you take it on.
 
I will also try some of your list Smiley but I already need to add one, finaly going to beat Popful Mail SCD
 
Not sure if I'll submit a summer challenge this year, seeing as how I didn't even come close to meeting any of last year's challenges...
 
I like your idea of focusing on the Summer Game Challenge  I've tried doing this in the past but I'm just far too chaotic in my gaming to commit to a list.  I think the last time I tried I put Farcry 2 in the list, but the game just didn't grab me in any way, so I stopped playing it.

You are going to love Clash at Demonhead.  Think it as basically Metroidvania before Metroidvania was a thing.
 
I'm thinking about doing one of these, I just got laid off so I should have time to finish some games, good luck on your list.
 
I'm impressed with using all those systems in one list. Good for you!
 
Thanks for the comments, guys.  I just got the Plat on God of War, so now I'll probably start God of War II.
 
Castlevania: SotN is one of my favorite games ever.  You will definitely enjoy it.

In this blog I will try to chronicle my N64 collecting, and will hopefully be able to teach you all about the Nintendo 64 along the way.
