Allright, assuming that this topic is not really about which game you have completed. Here are the games I beat this year so far:

Pokémon SoulSilver Version ~ Nintendo DS
Started playing: December 31st
Beaten on: January 11th
Rating: 10/10

Normally I don't hand out 10s so easily, but this game is simply amazing. I'm a huge fan of the main Pokémon games (put over 850 hours in Pearl), so it was not surprising that I liked this game. I honestly don't think I can say anything bad about it. My younger sister started her HeartGold version at the same time, so we played matches and traded along the way, which doubled the fun. I still have a long way to go before my Pokédex is completed and I doubt that I will be able to do it, since Black&White are just around the corner and all.

FIFA Street ~ XBOX
Started playing: January 6th
Beaten on: January 13th
Rating: 8/10

I always end up being addicted to a soccer game whenever I start playing one and this one was no different. I recently bought an XBOX and this was the first title that I played and I was surprised how good the graphics are. They are actually on par with the Wii. Anyway, the game was great, I was hooked on Rule the Street mode, which can be compared to a story mode. What you basically needed to do was winning matches to improve your reputation and buy better players when you were able to. I just loved performing crazy tricks and making a fool out of my opponent and even though it was repetitive, I didn't grow tired of it.

Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers ~ VC
Started playing: January 15th
Beaten on: January 15th
Rating: 7/10

I'm definitely not a big fan of fighting games, but I had fun with this one. I only tried out Super mode (with Chun Li) on the easiest difficulty setting, and I even lost a few times (yeah, I'm that bad at fighting games). I played it with the Classic Controller, because I have a hard time playing SNES games with a GCN Controller. It worked allright I guess, but I still messed up some combos for some reason. Maybe your character needs to recover when you pull off some moves, but the game doesn't show that though.

Streets of Rage 2 ~ VC
Started playing: January 19th
Beaten on: January 19th
Rating: 7/10

Probably even more fun when you play multiplayer, but single player was solid too. It's such a short game though, way too short. It took me a while to get into it, since I'm not familiar with the genre, but when I finally did it ended. The final boss was a bit unfair if you ask me, with shooting bullets all over the place. How am I suppose to dodge them? Thanks to the unlimited continues I was able to finish him off though.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Started playing: November 22nd
Beaten on: January 25th
Rating: 9/10

One of the best DS games I've played. I loved the music, I loved driving the train (no, it's not boring) and I loved working together with Zelda. I didn't bother with the sidequests since I'm saving those for my second playthrough in which I hope to complete it 100%. This was the second Zelda game I've played (first one being The Wind Waker), so I'm only until recently getting into the series. Phantom Hourglass is up next.

The Legend of the Mystical Ninja ~ VC
Started playing: January 20th
Beaten and completed on: January 28th
Rating: 8/10

I'm actually very proud of beating this one, because it was really hard IMO. Especially the last 2 zones were a pain. But yeah, great game. Solid platforming (although I had some trouble with jumping sometimes), nice graphics, awesome music and great humor. I liked that you could find hidden door paths in almost every town that had lots of money and a health bar upgrade inside. I'm thinking of trying co-op soon, because that seems interesting.

Mario Golf ~ VC
Started playing: January 29th
Beaten on: February 6th
Rating: 9/10

Best VC game I've played so far. It's relaxing, but challenging at the same time. I only bothered with Character Matches, because I didn't want to get too addicted to the game. Bowser was insanely difficult, but I managed to beat him after 14 failed attempts with a ton of luck included. If he didn't screw up the sudden death he would have won again, but it was like he played bad on purpose.

Dive: The Medes Islands Secret ~ WiiWare
Started playing: February 6th
Beaten on: February 7th
Rating: 8/10

This game has the best music I've heard in any WiiWare game so far (well maybe except for MM9&10). The game itself is great too. It's all about exploring and finding hidden treasure at different locations. I like that there's a shop where you can upgrade your suit and weapons and stuff like that. The only downside that this game has, and it has been mentioned multiple times, are the bugs (and slowdown occasionally). You cannot reach a few amount of treasures which prevents you from completing the game 100% and that's just not acceptable.
