Video Games: 2013 Challenge.


This is a first draft for the video game challenge I am giving myself in 2013. I'm less then a week away from finishing this years (gain 20K of Achievements on Xbox Live) and last years was also a success (capture every Pokemon on Soul Silver). 

If I hit the ground running I could get this done easily. 

Note: I've replaced Final Fantasy XI with Final Fantasy Tactics Advance just because FFXI is a MMORPG. I was heavily addicted to Runescape in 'the day' and have since built up a phobia of the genre. Not really, I've just been told that I won't have enough time to finish it. I've listed it as a maybe though as I do have the complete collections for both PC and Xbox along with a code for a free month that doesn't expire until mid next year. I'm going to play it over the summer though I'm not going to aim to finish it. FFTA also holds a special place in my heart as I've played it before back in 2008 after something dumb happened in my life and a lot of elements in the story echo my own life. Its also a great example of a perfect game and one of the few games I'd give a 10/10.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is also included in there because there is just so much hype about FF VII that I felt the prequel needed to be included.
