Take a look over on your left. See that snazzy, sexy, shiny Xbox One? Yeah, so shiny. That controller, so haptic! Dat Kinect, watching you undress each morning… and you like it.
But then look to your right.
OLD ASS GAMES. Like, games from SEPTEMBER 2013! What the heck are THEY doing there, AMIRITE?
It’s time to get rid of those games. Wait, don’t throw them out! Did you know that you can actually probably still play them? On something called “Last Gen”? Yeah, I know, OMG for realz!
Just like last year, SideQuesting wants to help you clear our that backlog with a little group motivation. We’re asking you again to find 12 games in your pile of shame, whatever platform or level of completion they’re at, and finish them off this month. I mean, look at poor BioShock over there. It looks lonely next to Blacklist! You can help them!
List your 12 games below. At the end of each week we’ll be asking you to update us on their status. Don’t know how? See any of the comments in our #7in7 backlog party in July for ideas.
If you do that, you could win a $25 Amazon gift card in January from us! That’s right, we’re giving away a gift card to you for cleaning out that crap in your backlog. You can use that money to help rebuild your backlog all over again!
Now, get started and let us know what you’re playing this month! We’ll be using the #12games hashtag all this month to chat about our gaming statuses, so feel free to join in.
