Games I'm Going to Play Damn It!

System Shock 2 (1999) (Irrational Games, Looking Glass Studios)
source

I was born in 1980 and as I get older, playing games becomes harder. I still have my skills, mind you, but I don't have as much time. Over the years, there have been a number of games that I've wanted to play but missed out on. A lot of the games came out between when I was ten to when I was twenty (1990 to 2000). I consider that period to be magical, the games had a hard to define quality that distinguish them from games that came out between 2000 to 2010. Still, that hasn't stopped me from adding more recent games to my list.

So my goal is to go through the classic games that I missed out on, games that happen to catch my fancy, and games that I've heard about and wanted to try.

The list is in no particular order at the moment, although I am playing System Shock 2 (1999) and LA Noire (2011) at the moment.
