Collection 2013

It's time...

...But, instead of a LOOOOOOONG-ass, gigantic, tiring blog entry, I've decided to handle this year's collection differently. I recently registered with Giant Bomb, and that's one public site on the net that has a pretty complete list of video games available, and good, free customization for list entries, which makes it a perfectly good platform for my video game collection. But there are a few things you should know.

It's not exactly Collection 2013, it's my whole collection out there, presented just in the way the Collections of the past have been presented thus far. I've had some hardware problems recently, and not much time to write, so the descriptions of the games are still well under construction, but that construction is constant - I write whenever I have time. I add games in real time, so as soon as I have a new one, it'll be on the list, pronto, without further notice. Special editions of the games or other special notices are found within the descriptions.

The prices, especially for the digital releases, might not be 100% accurate. Mobile games are no longer noted in the actual collection, but I've listed them here this once. PC games are finally noted, due to my long-anticipated acquisition of Final Fantasy XI.

I think that's about it, so haul your virtual ass over here.

So that the original idea of this annual entry wouldn't go to complete waste, here's an alphabetical list of games I've bought or otherwise legally acquired this year, complete with the usual useless information I like to point out. ...And hey, before I forget: have an amazing Christmas!!
