Here we go! Riddles and I always complain about having so many games in our backlog that we never have a chance to get to. Well we have no excuse this week. Although he will be playing Dead Space: Extraction, and I’ll be continuing my quest into Kingdom Hearts: Dumb Name, we are not allowed to play any other recent releases.
This week is placed here for a reason since starting next week, there will be such an onslaught of amazing new releases that we will be playing nothing else. And although I’d love to replay – or finish up old uncompleted replays of – old favourites like Majora’s Mask or Final Fantasy IX, this week is dedicated to games that we either have or haven’t started, but invariably have NOT finished.

Just since the summer I’ve started and finished more games that I had never played before than I usually would in a year, so my confidence is appropriate high to take on such a task, so I decided to chose a single game to tackle this week.
After looking through the games I’ve still got kicking around my place, I decided that my game would be Assassin’s Creed. While it was tempting to go with Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, or A Link To The Past (No, I haven’t beat it), I decided that Assassin’s Creed was a more reasonable game to try an beat within a week. I’m glad I beat Arkham Asylum over the weekend because I’m not allowed to play anything else on my home consoles except for Ubisoft’s original IP blockbuster for the entire week. If I somehow beat Assassin’s Creed before the week is over, I’ll chose a new backlog title to hack away at until the glorious Badass Week storms the Riddlethos castle next week. And like the title of this post and the great Tobias Fünke would say: “Let the great experiment begin!”.

Anyway, although I’m sure this will get a mention in tomorrow’s Hey! Look! Listen!, here’s some concept art for the now confirmed Wii exclusive, Epic Mickey.
