Wow.  What a year.  Didn't think I could beat last years numbers especially after starting a job and being busier, but the passion for gaming seems stronger than ever.  Just hope I can again keep up the pace.  Or accelerate it further!

Game of the year: undoubtedly XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

138 games beaten this year.  PC pulled even further ahead accounting for almost half of all games played this year.  This was thanks to lots of co-op gaming and jimbob's rebuild into a mighty gaming monster.

A good few loose ends tied up this year as well.  Metroid series, Paper Mario, Zeldas, Painkillers, Call of Dutys and lots more.

Backlog completion passed 75% completion this year.  Very nice indeed.  Although this was largely due to heavy culling of games I knew I would never play.  Although this was balanced out by nullifying repeated game entries on multiple systems unless that had actually been played through fully on all.  A few more years of this pace and I might just clear it.  Provided that not too many new ones are added...If only I could take a year off work to just churn it out.

More platforms worked on this year thanks to branching out to clean out systems and the new addition of Vita and iPad.
