Tentative Playlist

So after some internal back and forth about whether or not I should buy a new game for the marathon, or try to finish a backlog, I've decided on the backlog. 24 hours is a long time, so it seems like a good opportunity to wrap up some games off my "pile of shame". Games that I started and loved but then eventually forgot about.

Using a random chooser I've narrowed my first two selections down to the following.

• inFamous 2, an open world super hero game in which you play Cole McGrath, an electrically charged bike messenger turned would-be hero.


• Splinter Cell: Conviction, the latest in the Tom Clancy Splinter Cell games, a stealth shooter in which you play Sam Fisher, international super spy (or something).

Both games are really great, so it's looking like it'll be fun! Also, one for each of my two primary consoles (PS3 and XBOX 360), so that's a nice split.
