Backlog Attack group page

Between the few empty slots we have had for the last month and the others that I'm sure will appear during the newest round of boots, it is about time we started filling them again.

For those who don't know about the group, the main focus is to beat our massive backlog of games, for whatever system they might be on, and to write up some reviews for them, at least one a month. If you don't think you could keep up with that requirement, our group may not be the best choice for you.

For some fun this time around, any hopeful member gets to write a review for a random game. But not any regular game, but for one that doesn't exist. We will be using The Video Game Name Generator. Pop open that page and click Generate. There you have the title, and you will be attempting to do a suitable mock review for that game. Even if you are unlucky enough to get 'Transvestite Hamster Crisis', as one chat member managed to get. Sorry guys, he refused to review it himself. :P

When you are done, I recommend uploading the text to PasteBin and then linking your review here for group members to view. The better the review, the more likely you will get an invite. All invites will happen in several days, possibly a week or two, so we can trim out the current members first and make more room for fresh blood.

Since it would be unfair to make you all do this without giving it a try myself, here is my review for Helicopter Dodgeball Deathmatch.

Even if you don't have an invite, feel free to come hang in the group chat and keep us company.

First random roll was... Nuclear Sex Spectacular. I think the name speaks for itself.

Soviet Magic in Middle-Earth. Someone needs to make a game about communist Frodo throwing the capitalist ring into Mt.Stalin.

Great group, but haven't played anything for months due to my project and dying computer, hopefully when I finish my project and get a new computer I can finally go thru my backlog which is almost all my library with some really great games I'm just waiting to play. Hopefully you'll have free spots then too.

We give out nearly as many boots as the local fishing creek. I'm sure we will have some slots at the time.

I am on my backlog...well..every day and I just started, around 2 weeks ago, writing recommendations in steam of games I finished! These are only little reviews of around 6 sentences...lol. Well, far away from this group! :D

Good luck with it, I truly like the idea! :)

If you don't play even one single game per month that you can form an opinion on then I would have to wonder why you're even buying games :)

Comment has been collapsed.

Well I usually form an opinion based on a few minutes and my review would be "I didn't like it."...other than that I buy games for collection. Buying is just so much more fun than actually playing.

My review of Stealth Cricket All-Stars (may contain spoilers) is finally ready. If you have no idea what cricket is, I'd recommend you to stay away from this review, but DeltaBladesX, seeing as you're a New-Zealander, you have no excuse. :P

I made a review based on the first title that popped up just for the hell of it: Blazing Blood Struggle. Now I wish there was a game with such a premise.

I've heard about your group and love the idea. We are also doing a backlog crusade in our group. I'd love to join you if possible to spread my backlog thoughts. I'm actually only playing games picked through my backlog. I use steam roulette to pick my games and I also have a Desura random game picker a fellow sg'er made for me. I'm going to also try to start getting my Origin and drm-free games added into the mix.

So with my rambling said I did the game name generator and was given the job to review this wonderful game:

Disturbing Workout Plus

If I get picked thanks and if not it's cool. Just keep up the hard work on those backlogs.

Not trying to join, but thought the generated name was worth a mention - "Hidden Death in the Hood" - I envision it as a GTA meets Afro Samurai in Detroit...

Question, is it necessary to complete the game or just play it enough to get a sense then write a review? I'd like to try and rejoin (was kicked for inactivity) but I'm not sure I'll have enough time if I need to complete the game.

It depends. We want more than thoughts on the opening level for example, but getting stuck at the end, not so bad. If you can still put some decent work into a review about the game, you are much more likely to stay in the group.

If need be, perhaps pop out a review for a short game during a weekend as a safety net, so you aren't in trouble if the longer games are giving you trouble. I did that this month, since I was having trouble putting one review to words, which is lucky because it is still waiting a few weeks later. :P
