The great School Vacation marathon

switzky21

I have a three week vacation from school (I live in Australia) So, I've made a list of games I've never finished that I want to finish, and also a couple games I want to replay. I'd like advice from you guys as to which ones to finish/replay first.

Note: Assume a full playthrough from the beginning of the game.

To Finish (in no real order)

Paper Mario 2 (GCN)
Viewtiful Joe (GCN)
Super Mario Sunshine (GCN)
Okami (PS2)
We Love Katamari (PS2)
FFXII (PS2)
God of War 2 (PS2)
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (GBA)
Final Fantasy VI (GBA)
Saint's Row (Xbox 360)
Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360)


Edit: I may get Phoenix Wright 3 as well, so...
Note that Halo 3's release will take priority when it comes out.

To Replay

Kotor (XBOX) (Darkside Playthrough)
Halo 2 (XBOX)

If you want to feel like you're accomplishing things, you should probably put the shortest/easiest-to-finish games at the front of your queue. :P

Start with We Katamari, for sure. Then probably the action games like CoD 2, GoW 2 and VJ. And Okami's supposed to end around 40 hours, so that one early on as well.

The rest of them might end up sucking up your time for days on end, so beware!

Throw the Final Fantasies at the bottom, 'cause they take foreeeeeeeeever, and you can't rush through FFIII 'cause you won't fully enjoy it. This is assuming you haven't started any of the games yet.

I actually think he should start on the Final Fantasies and play the easier games when he's feeling burnt out, games that are easier to play in short bursts.

3 weeks for a mid semester break?

Let me guess. Private school?

You should play them in random order. Then you always be surprised!

Is that short or long?

Down here in Singapore, all we get is 3 weeks, 4 when we're lucky. Public schools too.

Doesn't give us alot of time to clear our backlogs.

Play Viewtiful Joe!!!!! Its awesome and its not really as hard as everyone makes it out to be once you pick up on the learning curve. You will really only have to worry about bosses.

I'd stick GoW 2 somewhere up towards the top. It's a phenomenal action game, and will get you all hyped up to tackle the rest of your list.

I thought this thread was about marathon. I'm disappointed.

Just to be weird, I think I'll start Halo 2 first, and then start FFTA for when I'm traveling around.

What should be next?
