The Back Order – Going WAY back

Print Friendly, PDF & Email



The Backorder was a feature I started in 2009. It was a way for me to declutter my list of games I need to play. For the last three years, I have been playing fewer and fewer “contemporary” games. For the last 18 months or so, I have been “in transition” – the majority of my possessions in boxes. I recently had the terrifying yet fulfilling experience of purchasing a home of my own. I’ll be paying on it for many years, but unboxing and settings things up, pulling out sealed game after sealed game the I still need to play – it’s lit another fire. The backorder list is HUGE, but I’ll be making my way through it sooner, rather than later. Not only contemporary games, but other gems I have picked up in the last few years and just tucked away, or PC games I’ve picked up on digital sales.


My back order list is as follows:

  1. Gears of War Judgment – Xbox 360
  2. Portal 2 – Steam
  3. New Super Luigi U – Wii U
  4. Spider-Man – Atari 2600
  5. Uncharted 3 – Playstation 3
  6. 7th Guest – Steam
  7. 11th Hour – Steam
  8. The Walking Dead (Telltale) Season 1 – 400 days – Xbox 360
  9. The Walking Dead (Telltale) Season 2 – Xbox 360
  10. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze – Wii U
  11. Halo 2600 – Atari 2600
  12. Bioshock Infinite – Steam
  13. Wario Land – Virtual Boy
  14. Grand Theft Auto V – Xbox 360
  15. Perfect Dark – Nintendo 64
  16. Castle in the Darkness – Steam


Not to mention all of the Xbox 360 GAMES WITH GOLD promotional downloads that came out in the last year or so, or other games that I would be interested in catching up on like The Witcher series of games. On top of that, the plans I have are finally moving forward for more content coming soon! But first, I’m going to POWER through these games as quickly as possible!
