The 2010 Final Tally

2010 is done.

So how did I end up?

Here's the overall count of games owned. Note that this is games not discs or carts or whatever, so a compilation that is on a single disc but has 4 different games will count as 4.

Status 2010 2011 Net Change
1092 1254 162
157 191 34
37 48 11
5 6 1
Total 1291 1499 208

While I made some good progress on beating games in my collection, the collector in me just took over this year and my backlog grew by 162 titles. Ugh.

In total I beat/completed 48 games. Not too shabby if I don't say so myself.

Here's the breakdown of the 48 titles by platform:

Platform Total
GBA 1
GCN 1
NDS 5
PC 3
PS1 2
PS2 8
PS3 11
PSN 1
PSP 4
SNES 1
Wii 1
X360 9
XBL 1
Total 48

For fun I could squish that down and see which is the console family that gets the most love:

Vendor Total
Nintendo 9
Microsoft 13
Sony 26
Total 48

As for my goals this year, I think I did okay.

1. Beat or Complete 40 or more unfinished games.

Done!

2. For any console that I have 10 or more unfinished games, I have to beat at least 1 game for that console over the next year.

Close but not quite. In the end, I had 10 of the 12 platforms done. For some reason I never got around to playing a game on the original Xbox or the N64. However, I did beat and SNES game (Super Mario World) so it kinda offsets it even though I only have 6 titles on the SNES.

3. Finalize game inventory

Yeah I pretty much choked on this one this year. I did make some headway but my PC collection is still in disarray.

4. Finish at least 1 Zelda game


It's not as though I didn't try. I did get about halfway through The Legend of Zelda and then I couldn't get past the 5th dungeon, so I stopped playing for a while. I think I might come back to this in 2011. Or maybe I'll just jump straight to A Link to the Past. We'll see

5. Buy a Nintendo Entertainment System

No I didn't actually do this but I did get a Dreamcast so I'm calling this one done as part of the idea of the goal was to add a retro console to my collection in 2010, which I accomplished.

6. For every 2 games I acquire, I have to beat least 1 game

Ok, I choked really hard on this. I beat 45 games (that's unfinished to beat or complete not the total games I played this year) and I acquired 208. So instead hitting a 50% ratio, I was at 21.63%. Ouch.

And that's about it! Over the next few days I'll be posting up my goals for 2011 as well as my yearly GOTY update.

Until next time...

  1. Nice list, I too failed on a few of my goals, namely Mario Sunshine, getting my U under 100 (laughable really) and beating Tiger Woods 06.

    I too overdid it on the acquisitions aspect, adding 121 U compared to 65 B/C. That ratio would have passed for your resolution though!

    Finally, your totals got me curious so I ran this quick per system total:

    PS2 28
    PS1 3
    GCN 2
    GBA 15
    PC 11
    PCDL 1
    Browser 5
    65

    That yields a branding total of:
    Sony 31
    Windows 17
    Nintendo 17
    65

    Also, yours should be:
    Sony 26
    Microsoft/Windows 13
    Nintendo 9
    48

    Interesting splits - seems we both favor Sony quite a bit!

  2. Oops. I fixed the numbers on the Sony/MS/Nintey breakdown so they are good now.
