    Sega already made an "all-stars" fighting game. 15 years ago! Sonic The Fighters http://www.gamesradar.com/virtua-fighter-2-fighting-vipers-and-sonic-fighters-coming-west-sooner-expected/

    As painful as it is to admit, I have never played Wind Waker. I've had it sitting in my basement for about three years now, and have just never put it in my system. I'm a terrible gamer aren't I?

    For me the game would be Kingdom Hearts 3D. Now i am not a big fan of the series in particular (Reading about the in-game history caused me to have a headache)but for one of the new characters added, Neku. I am a HUGE the World Ends With You fan and in lieu of any information about a new game I decided a game, which i would have marginal interest normally, would be a perfect fix to get something new out of the franchise.

    For me it would be Dishonored since I got it new for 30 dollars during black friday. Plus the sad truth is it's still in it's plastic prison. I like the idea of sending rats on my enemies and seeing the zombies in there :)

    dark siders 2 for me, took me a while to get around to the first, and i loved it, but im really in the mood for the how zelda inspired it is, that and the last zelda game i played was Ocarina of time for 3ds. So im going to really try and get around to dark siders 2 before the end of the year.

    I have an embarrassingly large backlog thanks to Steam sales and Humble Bundles. I'm currently working my way through Assassin's Creed III to wrap up the holiday rush, but once things quiet down, I'll attack my backlog, starting with two games in particular. First, The Walking Dead. I've heard wonderful things about the narrative and storytelling of this game, and I plan on having more feels than I can count. Plus, I'll have a new RadioRadar spoilercast to look forward to when I'm done! Second, Saints Row: The Third. I picked this up in the Humble THQ Bundle, and I've been greatly looking forward to its particular brand of zaniness for a while now. So, essentially, I'll be going from tragic, emotional survival in a harsh world to running around whacking people with a giant purple sex toy. Basically the same thing, right?

    Looking forward to playing Dead Rising:OTR, Arkham City Harley Quinn DLC and going back to multiplayer games of Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, and Need For Speed: Most Wanted.

    uh... everything from the PS2 on up to... yesterday. because that's the last time I owned a console. D: and this podcast's predecessor got me back interested in gaming, and gaming podcast's such as this fine cast. C: so many games to play... this won't take long right?... right?!

    Looking to finish all of the Monkey Island games soon. I really liked the first one, and then suddenly every sequel was incredibly low priced somewhere online. Now I own almost all of them, but I haven't had the time to start them (until now, of course)

  • The_Tingler - December 1, 2012 2:08 a.m.

    87% of my Steam account IS my backlog! :)

  • TCMU287 - December 1, 2012 12:10 a.m.

    Fun Fact: IBM made lots of early accounting and registration machines in the early 20th century. Many of these machines were used by the Nazis in the 30s and 40s to register all the Jews and minorities they rounded up in concentration camps. So basically IBM made quite a bit of money off of the Holocaust. As did Hugo Boss, Siemens, and many other companies still around today.

    I'm probably most excited for Dishonored. Just hearing everyone rave over has really made me want to play. Crap. And having only played ME2 and ME3, super stoked to get into Mass Effect in thirty years when my kids are grown.

  • thombilous - November 30, 2012 9:53 p.m.

    Sadly I have a self enforced backlog, as I have moved apartments and no longer have access to a television. That means I have a dangerously long list of games to get into - Hitman, Dishonored, Fifa 2013, and even Black Ops if i find the time. Worse than all of those is the fact that I started Vagrant Story on my PS3 and have had to leave off in the middle. I've never finished it and was really enjoying it. Currently passing the time playing Prince of Persia II: The Shadow and the Flame.

  • Mattel9 - November 30, 2012 8:43 p.m.

    Bastion on PC is still in my backlog, hopefully I'll have time to play it soon. My friends finally might stop chastising me if I get around to it. A close second goes to Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii, with so many hours to go on that one.

  • darkrider105 - November 30, 2012 8:33 p.m.

    I'm looking forward to playing Silent Hill HD collection, Castle Crashers, and Metro 2033. I have heard great things about Silent Hill 2 so I'm excited to play that despite the collections problems, while I picked up Castle Crashers recently and look forward to that. Finally Metro is something I wanted to test my pc with but haven't really gone that far in it. Hopefully i'll beat at least one of these three games. Great episode guys
