Well its the last day in February and Game Over Month is coming to a close now. The challenge was setup by the Married Gamers and all you needed to do was grab some of those games that you've started and hadn't finished. Games you walked away from or forgot about.

I decided I'd jump in and try and finish some of my games during this Month, I've done some other things like this and done well, perhaps I could put the same effort into my gaming. I picked 8 games to attempt at knocking out. I think it was a fairly big list and would be a real challenge to get them all. Here are the targets I selected and I've crossed out the ones I managed to beat.

• Bioshock
• GRAW 2
• Gears of War
• Gears of War 2
• Fable II
• Frontlines: Fuel of War
• Rainbow Six Vegas
• Halo 3

So I managed to take out 5 of my 8 targets during the month. My time to game can be a challenge in itself at times and with that being said, I'm fairly proud of myself for getting the 5 marked off. Not to mention that I also had Thirteen Days of Gears of War 2 going on as well an that involved a lot of online play time.

I think the online play could be the big hurdle for me and the reason a lot of games don't get finished. Its one of the things I love the most, being able to go online and actually play some games with friends, family, and co-workers for example. Its another reason I enjoying being an Xbox Live Ambassador, to meet people and play games, as well as help others out when I can.

So this month I had to play a little less online and focus on the stories in the games. I have to admit, I have a pretty decent collection of games and with so many games of late coming out, I think that could be another reason I didn't finish some of these. Its like a buffet of games and I found myself sampling more an more and perhaps had to many to choose from.

The old saying, "Finish what's on your plate" comes to mind here and thankfully Game Over Month came to my rescue and I can feel that I've gotten more of my monies worth out of some of my games now. I still have a lot of games to tackle and will see what I can do to do that for the rest of the year and I'm going to look forward to more Game Over Months in the future.
