As the title suggests, I'm rather some difficultly deciding on which games/series to begin playing from a rather ... ample backlog of games. Isn't this an irritating feeling? But because I'm a terrible individual, I would be honored to have the input of this lovely community. To make things "simple", I figured the easiest way to determine this would be to have you do the heavy lifting and choose five games/series. If you want to give a reason why, that would be fantastic. Whichever game/series has the most would be the one I begin. My adventures in gaming will also be posted either here or on a blog (if I decide to stop being lazy and get to creating that).
This list is 50+ games/series that I've narrowed down. All are on the PC games.
