My wife last night brought up an interesting challenge to me: To reorganize our games from A-Z, and play each and every single one of them in alphabetical order.

Now, the interesting part of this challenge is that I have games all the way from the NES to the current generation. I cannot skip a single one, unless the game is broken and there for collection reasonings (Like my copy of Soul Blade), or the console is lended out (like the case for my Wii.) Even games in my collection that I dislike, such as Ocarina of Time, Morrowind, or Resident Evil: Outbreak, I cannot skip.

So, I challenge my fellow gamers to do this as well. To see how long this will take you, what games you start with and what games you end with.

Myself, I'm going to start with Armored Core 2. And I will end with Way of the Samurai 2.

Let the challenge begin!

Won't work for me - once I play a game and finish a game I very very rarely go back to it. I sell it back or trade it in. Too many other games out there and life is too short to replay a game.

Meh...waste of gaming time. I don't play games a second time.

Cheater.

And I personally love replaying through games that I liked. I'm not looking forward to replaying a few of them that I only have for collection's sake, but I see nothing wrong with replaying a good game.

I LOVE Armored Core 2! How about you just play through the arena?

Kuharai deemed I must do both the arena and the story.

I am not looking forward to the final few levels of that game.

If I despise a game, I generally will get rid of it. If I like a game, I will keep it simply because one day I'll just get up and say, "I feel like playing ~" and can just reach over to the wall, grab the game, pop it in, and play away.

I get in my moods.

Don't forget that games that have under five endings - you must attain all five. If the game has more than five, you only need to get five endings to move on.

However, Langlen also forgot to mention that for replays, he's a speed gamer... but it should still take him over a year to get through our combined collection.

Does that mean you wouldn't play the New Game+ on Chrono Trigger, because you already beat it once??

Dislike Ocarina of Time? That is blasphemy to some people!
I currently have 18 Playstation 3 games, even without my other systems being taken into account doing this would take months.
