Games of 2008

The list below shows that I got two more games than I beat, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Pain came free with my PlayStation 3 and after playing it for a few minutes, it became clear that I would never put in the time to beat it. I bought Wild Arms to take a PlayStation game for a spin on my PSP, but I've already beaten the original. Some of you may find it odd that Cave Story is on the list since it is a freeware game. I decided that installing a game with intent to play through it is pretty much the same as buying a game. It's listed on the 29th because that's the day I finally set it up and applied the translation patch. All things considered, I came out about even this year.
