Finish your backlog!

Short and sweet. The game has a story to tell and it does so (very well) in no more time than needed. It's poignant and charming all at once. It's not difficult, but keeps you engaged through the simple but fun control system. So yeah, worth R150 or so for an evening of fun.

You've sold me :D. I'll give it a gander

Nope, ain't got none of those. But I might try copying Eugene and Playing the Witcher 2.

You seem to be the type of guy who would enjoy an RPG that doesn't pull it's punches nor hold your hand. Witcher 2 is the RPG that men have dreamed existed since the inception of Daggerfall. I'd give it a rec

I've got to say I was a bit disappointed with The Witcher 2. It wasn't bad, but not as good as I hoped, and I think I actually enjoyed the first one a lot more. I had some major issues with the controls during combat, I hope they fix that in the next one. Story was pretty good, but when the text popped up that said "Epilogue", I thought, "WTF? that was it?"

Were you playing it with a keyboard or a controller?
 
Keyboard and mouse.

Aah that would explain it. I also had problems before using my controller. Just like Dark Souls and Kingdoms of Amalur you could tell that it was made with a controller in mind. Do you also have the issue when you sometimes experience screen shearing when swiveling in a new location?

Actually had a problem with the camera moving around in really annoying ways with the controller, which is why I didn't want to use it in the first place.

Try using the control again, but with Blur Effects disabled and invert the X-Axis while leaving Y-Axis the same. Odd i know but it fixed some of my camera issue...a bitch to get used to though

I can cross Witcher 2 off the list - although I'll probably replay it one day to check out the other branch in the story line.

This is my console list (Which means I will need to have at least 28 Hours per day to allow for enough playtime if I reckon in other platforms as well)

Aliens Colonial Marines
Last of Us
God of War III
Uncharted III
LA Noire
Resident Evil 5
Silent Hill Origins
Dead Space Extraction
Gears of War Judgement
Warhammer 40K Space Marine
Zombie U

The rest of the stuff I buy I normally get around to although we are heading into that time of year where games keep getting purchased just to sit around on a shelf or used as a bookend :)

Also @ Malice
I can safely say, without reservations, that you can skip Septerra Core
One of the WORST games, not only in execution but also in premise, that I have ever seen
 
The main reason for my backlog is the fact that great games get released on PS+ as part of the Instant Games Collection. They just keep adding great titles and I'm struggling to keep head above water. A fun struggle this is by the way. :-)

Assassin's Creed 3
Hitman Absolution
Metal Gear Rising
Fallout 3: New Vegas
Barman Arkhan City (I finished the main story and now want to get 100% completion)
Splinter Cell: Black List
Dragon Age 2 (I enjoyed the first one and the 2nd one is relatively ok and I'm still playing it.)
Skyrim... This one is a love hate relationship. I love the game but it is a looooong one. How do you eat an elephant? :-)
Resident Evil 6

There a many more games I have downloaded but will most probably not play them as these are the most important ones to finish.
